Imagine shrinking light down to the size of a tiny water molecule, unlocking a world of quantum possibilities. This has been a long-held dream in the realms of light science and technology. Recent advancements have brought us closer to achieving this incredib…

Another lunar lander is headed for the moon's south pole.

A team led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) has found that NASA's Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter frequently encounters giant swirling waves at the boundary between the solar wind and Jupiter's magnetos…

Bioluminescent bacteria and the Hawaiian bobtail squid have formed a longstanding mutually beneficial relationship. How the bacteria coordinate their behavior to colonize the squid—through cellular signaling and cues from the environment—is detailed in a new …

The cells of the immune system circulate mainly in the blood and migrate into the body's tissues after an inflammation. Some types of immune cells, however, are permanently located in the tissues, where they come together to form three-dimensional networks.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the irregular galaxy Arp 263, also known as NGC 3239, located 25 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. The image prominently features a stellar photobomber, BD+17 2217, showing unique crisscross…

Scientists for the past 15 years have been looking for evidence of a type of star only hypothesized but never observed - one powered not by the fusion of...

Powerful solar flare activity is forecast for Monday which may interfere with short-wave communications, Russian scientists said after three flares were observed on the sun on Sunday.

Unlike ordinary stars, they would be able to gain mass by accumulating gas falling into them in space. "They can continue to accrete the surrounding gas almost indefinitely, reaching supermassive status," said Colgate University astrophysicist and study lead…

RESEARCHERS have uncovered the coldest-known star to emit radio waves. The star, dubbed WISE J0623, is located about 37 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Monoceros. It’s cla…

After 38 years of service, Jody Singer, the Marshall Space Flight Center Director, has announced her retirement.

To unravel how this plant genus (Ficus in the Moraceae family) evolved to become such a diverse group, an international team of researchers, including a Northwestern University plant biologist, examined 1,858 genes from 520 species of figs. The study was publ…

Russian scientists have predicted ‘powerful’ solar flare activity that may affect communication protocols. According to a report by Reuters, scientists observed three flares on the Sun which can affect short-wave radio conditions on Earth. The Fedorov Institu…

The search for life on Mars has been a long a confusing one. Inconclusive experiments abound, but one thing is certain – there is definitely organic material on the Red Planet. Now, a new study in Nature has confirmed that finding and showed just how complex …

The Perseid meteor shower begins tonight, and unlike last year, viewing conditions are set to be excellent. It’s one of the best meteor showers of the year: here’s how and when to watch

The discovery that football players were unknowingly acquiring permanent brain damage as they racked up head hits throughout their professional careers created a rush to design better head protection. One of these inventions is nanofoam, the material on the i…

Griffith University researchers have played a key role in using DNA 'origami' templates to control the way viruses are assembled.

In the past two decades, 56 percent of Earth’s oceans have become greener, a new study by a team of scientists from the U.S. and UK finds.

Experiments with state-of-the-art scattering instruments reveal an absence of specific patterns in the x-rays scattered by nanocomposite materials. With the help of advanced simulation techniques, a new study suggests that attractive interactions between nano…

Typhoon Talim made landfall in China, causing authorities to issue flood warnings, cancel flights and trains, and order people to stay at home.

Elon Musk has chimed in and has decreed that the universe is "possibly" twice as old as we think it is. Make of that what you will.
