The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has set astronomers abuzz, discovering an unexpected multitude of black holes in the distant universe, vastly outnumbering prior predictions, and potentially revolutionising our understanding of these mysterious celestial…

Microscopic roundworms that have been in suspended animation deep in the Siberian permafrost for 46,000 years were brought back to life by scientists. The ge...

Chemical structures called cyclopropanes can increase the potency and fine-tune the properties of many drugs, but traditional methods to create this structure only work with certain molecules and require highly reactive-;potentially explosive-;ingredients. No…

If you are a fan of all things celestial, love observing stars, planets, and meteoroids, or simply glaring at the moon, then this month will be your favourite. The month of August started with a supermoon called the Sturgeon Moon, and we have a few more inter…

Asteroids are chunks of rock left over from the formation of our Solar System. Approximately half a billion asteroids with siz...

Airbus has signed an agreement with Voyager Space (Voyager) that paves the way for a US-led joint venture to develop, build and operate Starlab, a commercial space station planned to succeed the International Space Station. In addition to the US entity, Starl…

Function and form are deeply intertwined in biology. Knowing how organisms grow, adapt and reproduce requires understanding their physical structures. Hence the transformative power of the microscope across the past four centuries of science.

Research estimates type of ’umbrella’ needed to achieve solar radiation reduction by about 1.7 per cent

Experience the luminous spectacle of the Perseid Meteor Shower, as 100 shooting stars per hour paint the night sky on August 12-13, accentuated by the moon's absence. Get set for the celestial extravaganza!

Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese National Space Administration recently published a study in the journal Space: Science & Technology outlining how the upcoming Chang’e-7 mission, due to launch in 2026, will use a combination of…

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which bacteria share their genetic material through virus parasites. The insights could help scientists to better understand how bacteria rapidly adapt and evolve, and how they become more virulent…

The Navy, NASA and the Air Force practiced an important part of the Artemis 2 mission today.

Korean researchers have unveiled a novel signaling pathway that fosters aging-related chronic metabolic disorders.

Airbus replaces Lockheed Martin as habitat builder for the planned Starlab space station.

Here’s everything you need to know about the peak of the Perseid meteor shower and precisely when you’ll likely see the most “shooting stars” from every U.S. timezone.

Falcon 9 B1077 completed its 6th launch and landing, sending the Intelsat Galaxy-37/Horizons-4 satellites to geostationary transfer orbit.

There’s a reason Apple has been quieter than most about AI, and it’s not because the company is sleeping on the technology

An international team of scientists has discovered an unusual Jupiter-sized planet orbiting a low-mass star called TOI-4860, located in the Corvus constellation.

After a century-long search, paleontologists say they discovered an ancient jellyfish whose body resembles today’s box jellyfish and moon jellies.

SpaceX will launch the 4th Axiom mission to the International Space Station no earlier than August 2024. NASA had previously signed a contract for 3 crewed missions to the Space Station.

Electron spin's potential in quantum-based devices is being harnessed. Spin defects in crystalline materials aid quantum sensors, memory devices, and quantum ef

New simulations led by the University of Leicester offer a new explanation for star’s 85-year flare. The mystery of a stellar flare a trillion times more powerful than the largest of Solar flares may have been solved by a team of scientists who believe a mass…

Kamaʻehuakanaloa (formerly Lōʻihi Seamount), a submarine Hawaiian volcano located about 20 miles off the south coast of the Big Island of Hawai'i, has erupted at least five times in the last 150 years, according to new research led by Earth scientists at the …

The images captured by the James Webb telescope show the star in an unprecedented level of detail.
