A satellite set to return to Earth via a first-of-its-kind assisted re-entry will splash down into the Atlantic Ocean next week.The European Space Agency (ES...

The universe is teeming with powerful supermassive black holes that spawn powerful jets of high-energy particles, creating sources of extreme brightness in the vastness of space. When one of those jets points directly at Earth, scientists call the black hole …

The carbon-rich dust may have formed just a billion years after the Big Bang, the study shows

The wooden projectiles may have been used by children learning to hunt, though researchers aren't sure which species of human made them.

'Assuming it's a magnetar, it shouldn't be possible for this object to produce radio waves. But we're seeing them.'

A 300,000-year-old hunting weapon has shone a new light on early humans as woodworking masters, according to a new study.

Animals have long learned to live alongside wildfires, but those coping skills are being tested as Earth enters the Pyrocene.

The gradient was able to separate DNA origami dimers from DNA origami monomers.

Ghostly nebulas created by exploding stars appear to align in the Milky Way's bulging center. Astronomers may finally know why.

Starship blew a 25-foot-deep crater into the launchpad at SpaceX's Starbase facility when it first took to the skies in April.

Get latest articles and stories on Science at LatestLY. One unusual problem that more than a quarter of stroke sufferers have is the loss of conscious awareness for half of what their eyes see.

Science News: Astronomers reported Wednesday the discovery of what could be two planets sharing the same orbit around their star. They said it's the strongest evide

Coupling of electronic and nuclear dynamics revealed in molecules with ultrafast lasers and X-rays.

China started its manned space flights in 2003 by sending former fighter pilot, Yang Liwei into orbit in a small bronze-coloured capsule named Shenzhou-5. With this mission, Liwei became China's first man to venture into space. The country is now developing a…

The six-wheeled geologist is getting some assistance in its in search for diverse rock samples that could be brought to Earth for deeper investigation.

Astronaut Scott Kelly spent 340 days aboard the International Space Station beginning in March of 2015 while his identical twin remained on Earth. That dynamic helped elucidate some of the molecular and physiological effects of significant stretches

New research by scientists from NASA and Japan's Osaka University suggests that rogue planets—worlds that drift through space untethered to a star—far outnumber planets that orbit stars. The results imply that NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to …

The first crew to live and work for a year in a NASA-run ground-based, simulated Mars habitat won’t have the luxury of fresh food deliveries, but they will have the chance to grow some fresh produce.

Until recently, astronomers could not observe the first stars and galaxies that formed in the Universe. This occurred during what is known as the “Cosmic Dark Ages,” a period that took place between 380,000 and 1 billion years after the Big Bang. Thanks to ne…

Nearly a century ago, physicists Max Born and J. Robert Oppenheimer developed an assumption regarding how quantum mechanics plays out in molecules, which are comprised of intricate systems of nuclei and electrons. The Born-Oppenheimer approximation assumes th…
