When an astronomer discovered a brief bolt of energy that could travel billions of light-years, he was astonished. Then decades went by without evidence of another.

A glittering treasure trove of baby stars hidden in the thick dust of their nursery is revealed in a stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope.

Much of the moon's surface is 200 million years older than previously estimated, a new analysis suggests.

NASA has debunked rumours about an internet apocalypse caused by solar storms, that could disrupt global connectivity for months. While a severe solar storm is unlikely, its potential economic impact in the US alone could be $11bn per day. Computer science …

A study out of Japan reveals diversity of protein structures and how they fold in nature, uncovering a myriad of protein topologies.

For the very first time, researchers at ISTA entangled microwave and optical photons. Quantum computing holds the potential to tackle complex issues in fields like material science and cryptography, problems that will remain out of reach even for the most pow…

The colour of over 56 per cent of the world's oceans, larger than Earth's total land expanse, has changed significantly over the last two decades and human-caused climate change is likely the driver, according to researchers. These colour changes, subtle to t…

A high possibility for past habitability exists at the rover’s landing site in Jezero Crater

Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found the most distant supermassive black hole so far existing just 570 million years after the Big Bang.

The researcher posted this query in response to the first tweet by Elon Musk's new artificial intelligence startup, xAI.

They were found beneath the largest deposits of gold in the world.

A cluster of neurons in the brains of fruit flies has been found to control visual aversion to scary objects. Averting our eyes from things that scare us may be due to a specific cluster of neurons in a visual region of the brain, according to new research at…

SOUTH AFRICA: In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have unearthed traces of the world’s oldest known glaciers, dating back a staggering 2.9 billion years, within rocks beneath South Africa’s abundant gold deposits.  These findings provide compelling evid…

While space burials are not a new concept, the company is preparing for their first deep space flight, orbiting around the sun indefinitely.

China has revealed its plan to put a man on the moon, thereby becoming the second country after the US to do so. The mission is expected to take place before 2030, said the state-run news agency.

Recently, a group of scientists from the USA presented their work at the Goldschmidt Conference in Lyon, France, revealing that Earth-like exoplanets teeming with liquid water may be far more abundant than previously believed.

Like its viral cousins, a somewhat parasitic DNA sequence called a retrotransposon has been found borrowing the cell's own machinery to achieve its goals.

The funniest thing about the universe is that whenever we feel like we know enough about it, a new detail creeps in. This time, a new study has the potential to upend our basic understanding of how old the universe might be.For the longest time, scientists ha…

Nothing exists in a vacuum, but physicists often wish this weren't the case. If the systems that scientists study could be completely isolated from the outside world, things would be a lot easier.

Heliconius butterflies developed larger brains.

The genetic information is from the African hominin named Paranthropus Robustus.

The space agency tried to recreate the iconic image that was captured by the Voyager probe of Earth from the edge of the Solar System, appearing like a blue dot in the darkness.

Deeper male voices in primates, including humans, offer more than sex appeal—they may have evolved as another way for males to drive off competitors in large groups that favored polygyny, or mating systems where a male has multiple mates, according to researc…
