Here's a new one. Astronomers have found a white dwarf star - the dead remnant from a main sequence star like the Sun - with one hemisphere composed of hydrogen while the other is covered in helium. The star was discovered with the Zwicky Transient Facility, …
What will happen if an asteroid hurtling towards the Earth is hit midway to avoid the collision? National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) has made an experiment to study the possibilities.
The gold that makes up your most precious jewelry may have been forged in a violent cosmic collision millions or billions of light years away between two neutron stars. New research seeks to better understand this process.

Scientists working on the Dark SRF experiment at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have demonstrated unprecedented sensitivity in an experimental setup used to search for theorized particles called dark photons.
The more astronomers look at the early universe, the more discoveries they make. Some of those finds change what they thought they knew about the infancy of the cosmos. For example, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently ...
This was one of the most chaotic weeks in a long time, with two separate CME strikes, and a long-duration solar flare eruption, and a menacing sunspot facing the Earth.
Scientists at the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) have discovered that a nano-sized carbon material derived from the oxidation of carbon-rich sources could be used to treat Down syndrome and other disorders associated with high l…
After 20 years of above-ground surveys, archaeologists have excavated the famous Iron Age site of Němčice and confirmed the presence of the earliest glass workshop north of the Alps.
A mouse injured on one leg experiences an "awakening" of stem cells in the other leg as if the cells are preparing to heal an injury. Something similar happens in axolotls, which are masters at limb regeneration. Heart injuries in zebrafish can trigger certai…
Mars, our closest neighbour in the Solar System has been long speculated to harbour life creating environment. But no life has been found yet on the red planet. Does that mean life cannot be possible on it? Well the answer to this question is not simple. For …
Microfractures in nano-size copper and platinum have been observed healing themselves from repeated tugs. The discovery could lead to the construction of self-healing structures and machines.
After about two decades of planning and seven years of out-and-back space travel, NASA plans to land a sample from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu in Utah's northwestern desert this fall. The sample capsule, which has taken more than two years to travel from Be…
