While the discovery of a new tektite strewn field in northeastern Brazil points to a large meteorite impact, geologists have yet to find the crater.

Engineers have uncovered the mathematical rules fireflies follow to sync up their flashes.

Something incredible has been found inside a black rock from Mars, and it's leading scientists down a path they never anticipated.

A wave is rising, the clock is down to seconds, and this small white capsule is being pitched as the last place to hide when escape is already over.

A distant star whose light suddenly flickered like a guttering candle has led astronomers to a spectacular find.

Our Sun was part of a migration of stars from the galactic centre 4–6 billion years ago, which may have been key to life arising on Earth.

During the 2022 summer melt season, sediment plumes and fractured sea ice traced swirling eddies in a branch of the Nansen Sound fjord system in the Canadian Arctic.

These incredible images demonstrate the brutality of the creepy crawly and how they can overpower prey

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system uses tensor network mathematics and machine-learning model…

For sixty years, the search for life beyond Earth has been built on the single assumption that alien life will look enough like us to recognise. A radical new idea called Assembly Theory is challenging that assumption. A team from the Arizona State University…

Analysis and reconstruction of a warp-weighted loom from the second millennium BC site of Cabezo Redondo, Spain, provides an unprecedented glimpse into the development of textile technology in the Bronze Age western Mediterranean.

Black hole GW190412 has been caught speeding away from its birth site at about 112,000 miles per hour (180,000 kilometers per hour).

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to develop the information technologies of tomorrow must understa…

Scientists created an artificial neuron that operates at the same voltage as living cells and is able to communicate with the human brain.

Earth-size planet (HD 137010 b) found orbiting a nearby star once a year, making it a promising target for finding life.

Study that involved condoms helped scientists discover that cicada mud towers protect against predators and regulate the air.

An intriguing hypothesis suggests that human consciousness may respond to the Earth's natural electromagnetic pulse.

Researchers from the Texas Center for Superconductivity (TcSUH) and the department of physics at the University of Houston have broken the temperature record for superconductivity at ambient pressure—a breakthrough that could eventually lead to more efficient…

The Hubble Space Telescope saw Comet 41P stop spinning completely, and then restart, but in the opposite direction.

Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), astronomers have discovered a new super-Earth exoplanet orbiting a star located about 83 light years away. The newfound alien world is slightly larger than Earth and encircles its host in less than four …

Mosquitoes haven't always had a taste for human blood — partly because the tiny yet dangerous insects have been around a lot longer than humans.

Light emitted from a spiral galaxy during the Tyrannosaurus rex era was captured in a striking photo by the James Webb Space Telescope.

An international team of astronomers has captured the central region of the Milky Way in unprecedented detail.

With the help of an extremely powerful telescope deep underground in Japan, astronomers may be able to catch a glimpse of ghost particles from long-dead stars.

A routine construction project in Texas took an unexpected turn when workers uncovered a massive 9-foot creature fossil.
