On July 20, 1969, the astronauts of Apollo 11 stepped foot on the moon for the first time.

A team of researchers from the Instituto de Carboquímica of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) has made a remarkable step forward in the development of efficient and sustainable electronic devices. They have found a special combination of two extrao…

The UN celebrated the second ever annual International Moon Day on Thursday, promoting ongoing international cooperation in the peaceful use of outer space while also honouring historic achievements in space exploration.

The first supermoon of summer graced the sky the night of Milwaukee's lakefront fireworks, but three more supermoons are still to come in 2023.

Water striders live on the water surface and their leg length ranges from several to over 100 millimeters. It is well known that they use their long hydrophobic legs and support their bodies on the surface without breaking it. Under each leg, the water surfac…

Approximately 99.9% of fish and shark species are "cold-blooded," meaning their body tissues generally match the temperature of the water they swim in—but researchers have just discovered the mighty basking shark is a one-in-a-thousand exception. Instead, the…

Seagrasses evolved from freshwater plants and use sunlight and carbon dioxide (CO2) for photosynthesis and are able to thrive in depths down to 50 meters. In contrast to algae, they possess roots and rhizomes that grow in sandy to muddy sediments. The grass-l…

The joint European-Japanese mission, BepiColombo, has revealed how high-energy auroras on Mercury are formed. The research indicates that electrons, accelerated in Mercury's magnetosphere and precipitating onto the planet's surface, interact with the surface …

Astronomers used JWST to spot carbon-based molecules and nanodiamonds in the very early Universe in dust from some of the earliest stars.

Visible light is a mere fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the manipulation of light waves at frequencies beyond human vision has enabled such technologies as cell phones and CT scans.

Some 400,000 years ago, Greenland was, well, green. In fact, it was an ice-free tundra landscape – perhaps covered by trees and roaming wooly mammoths.

The spacecraft knocked the asteroid significantly off course in the first-ever such test of Earth's planetary defences.

Recent data from the JWST space observatory has identified several objects that are consistent with dark matter powered stars.

By analyzing GPS data from almost 100 large earthquakes worldwide, scientists revealed a potential 2-hour rupture prediction signal.

Nuclear energy has resurfaced as a hot topic in a world deeply concerned about the environmental and geopolitical consequences of fossil fuel use.

Apple says it will remove services such as FaceTime and iMessage from the UK rather than weaken security if new proposals are made law and acted upon. From a report: The government is seeking to update the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) 2016. It wants messagi…
