A deep dive into a deep field captured by the James Webb Space Telescope gives us a sense of impossible spaceflight – and the way galaxies changed over the history of the Universe.

Tonight sees the start of the annual meteor shower that brings the most excitement and dependable displays—the Perseids. This year it peaks in moonless skies.

New observations using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have distinguished the sites of star formation and a possible site of star death from the surrounding nebula in a galaxy 13.2 billion light-years away. This is the farthest that su…

A study conducted by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Accelerator has gained insights into the properties of strong interactions between protons at ultra-high energies by exploring elastic scattering in proton-proton collisions. The research found dis…

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and, during that time, it has seen some things. Life has been a part of most of that history, but what life has looked like has changed dramatically over the eons. Deciphering how life worked on this planet during its diffe…

A couple perusing a charity shop purchased a tiny vase for $3.30. The vase turned out to be a Japanese antique worth an estimated $11,800.

India has had several successes in space. Now Chandrayaan-3—complete with orbiter, lander and rover—is headed for the south lunar pole.

Previous beliefs have been overturned by the discovery of irregularly arranged structures. For many, the word "crystals" conjures images of shimmering suncatchers that create a prism of rainbow colors or semi-transparent stones thought to possess healing abil…

Scientists found metallic spherules on the ocean floor–and they may be extraterrestrial. A controversial physicist says the strange remnants are alien tech.

As Chandrayaan-3 mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota a few minutes ago on July 14, Director of Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) at

Researchers have uncovered genes essential for learning, memory, aggression, and other complex behaviors originated around 650 million years ago.

Get ready for the most peculiar road trip that will help you understand the vastness and emptiness of the solar system—and Sweden.

The fossil corresponds to an agile hunter with highly developed senses; its finding adds another piece to the puzzle that seeks to reconstruct the world before the extinction of the dinosaurs

Scientists at Harvard University claim to have come excitingly close to finding the proverbial Fountain of Youth

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…

Cardiovascular conditions like heart attacks are among the major causes of death globally, a result of the human heart's limited self-healing power. Unlike humans, zebrafish possess a remarkable ability to recover from heart injuries. A team of researchers le…

Two decades of satellite data show that 56% of the ocean surface is changing in color.

A team of nearly 100 scientists recently mapped the cell-type taxonomy in the macaque cortex and revealed the relationship between cell-type composition and various primate brain regions by using the self-developed spatial transcriptome sequencing technology …

The US Senate has slashed the budget for NASA's ambitious mission to return soil and rock samples from Mars' surface. From a report: NASA had asked for $949 million to support its Mars Sample Return mission, or MSR, in fiscal year 2024. In its proposed budget…

Lunar clock reset: Man in the Moon could be 200 million years older than previously thought

Researchers create micrometer-sized spherical particles from cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs), known for their helical structure and light reflection capabili

A research group led by Dr. Jialei He of Nagoya University's Graduate School of Engineering has developed a method for processing cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) into micrometer-sized spherical particles.

For more than a decade, a succession of sea creatures have lived off of this whale’s body by stripping it and burrowing into the bones to find nutrients.

Isn't it strange that when satellites run out of fuel or a single component breaks down, we just discard them? ESA and European industry have joined forces to make sure that our satellites can live on.

In a landmark study published in Nature Cell Biology, Australian researchers, led by Professor Jose Polo from Monash University and the University of Adelaide and University of Melbourne's Professor Kanta Subbarao from the Peter Doherty Institute for Infectio…
