A fascinating fossil discovery in West Texas has revealed a surprising new range for an ancient plant-eating dinosaur.

How does a star affect the makeup of its planets? And what does this mean for the habitability of distant worlds? Carnegie's Luke Bouma is exploring a new way to probe this critical question—using naturally occurring space weather stations that orbit at least…

A large-scale analysis of 117 mammal species found that preventing reproduction is associated with longer lifespans, suggesting a strong link between reproductive activity and life expectancy. Why do some animals live for decades while others survive only a f…

If the rollout happens on NASA’s current schedule, astronauts could be headed back to the Moon next month.

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic stem cells develop into brain cells.

"I think every astronomer is going to find something of value here."

A NOAA forecast suggest that Northern Lights may be visible in northern U.S. states Thursday, Jan. 8, through Friday, Jan. 9, as solar wind conditions intensify.

In the future, quantum computers are anticipated to solve problems once thought unsolvable, from predicting the course of chemical reactions to producing highly reliable weather forecasts. For now, however, they remain extremely sensitive to environmental dis…

When a meteor breaks apart above Earth, it’s a rare spectacle. But when it’s caught on camera from the ISS, it becomes something extraordinary.

Jupiter reaches opposition on Jan. 10, but it provides a good sky show through the entire month.

The Kepler’s supernova remnant continues to expand and expand.

A "boring" time period may not have been so boring after all.

Scientists drilled to the bottom of Greenland's 1,600-foot deep Prudhoe Dome and found it disappeared in the early Holocene, when temperatures were close to what we're predicted to reach by the end of the century.

Analysis of the local branching geometries of several physical networks shows violations of predictions of length and volume minimization, leading to the hypothesis that estimating the material cost requires accounting for the full three-dimensional geometry.

Is this the most dangerous lava on earth? Find out why it’s blue!

New results indicate that rhabdodontids and the previously described Ajkaceratops are actually distinctive European ceratopsians, a group better known from Asia and North America.

Cas12a3 nucleases constitute a distinct clade of type V CRISPR–Cas bacterial immune systems that preferentially cleave the 3′ tails of tRNAs after recognition of target RNA to induce growth arrest and block phage dissemination.

A nine-year transit-timing campaign has measured the extremely low masses and densities of four large planets orbiting the young star V1298 Tau, which are now predicted to contract and form a typical compact super-Earth and sub-Neptune system.

Scientists have made a surprising discovery about Jupiter’s moon Europa, raising new questions about its potential to support life.

The Hubble Telescope appears as a tiny silhouette during a perfectly timed solar transit captured from Puerto Rico.

Scientists are a step closer to solving one of the universe's biggest mysteries as new research finds evidence that two of its least understood components may be interacting, offering a rare window into the darkest recesses of the cosmos.

In the aftermath of the giant asteroid that crashed into the Yucatan Peninsula about 66 million years ago, approximately 75% of all species on Earth were wiped out, including the dinosaurs. Among those thought to have perished at this K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleoge…

Beneath the surface of the world’s deepest lake, scientists have uncovered strange geological structures unlike anything seen there before.
