University of Colorado scientists have set the tightest constraints yet on the potential size of separation in electrical charges within an electron, or its electric dipole moment (EDM).

A new study describes how astronomers discovered a supermassive black hole that suddenly "switched on" and became

The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting pairs that glide through materials without friction. When your laptop or smartphone heats up, it’s due to energy that’s lost in translation. The same goes for power lines that transmit electricity be…

A new analysis shows that there are probably many more Earth-like exoplanets with liquid water than had been thought, significantly increasing the chance of finding life. The work finds that even where the conditions are not ideal for liquid water to exist at…

Rutgers University scientists believe there might be many more Earth-like exoplanets with liquid water.

The researchers studied the brightness of 190 quasars that existed about 1.5 billion years after the universe was created. The observations show that time moved five times more slowly back then.

People may hear silence in the same way that they hear sounds, study suggests

Astronomers surveyed ancient stars in the Milky Way to chart their motions and chemical abundances. They found slow-moving, metal-poor stars.

Harvard University’s Professor Avi Loeb and colleagues have discovered at least 50 tiny spherical iron fragments near the fireball path of the first recognized interstellar meteor, IM1.

The origin of Mercury, the closest planet to the sun, is mysterious in many ways. It has a metallic core, like Earth, but its core makes up a much larger fraction of its volume—85% compared to 15% for Earth.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a central molecule in the global cycling of nitrogen, and also toxic. Little is known about if and how microbes can use NO as a substrate for growth. Scientists have now managed to grow a microbial community dominated by two, so-far unkno…

Microwave frequency data from lunar orbiter reveals deposit of cooled magma beneath a volcano that likely erupted 3.5 billion years ago. Scientists have discovered a large granite formation beneath the Moon's surface, pointing to ancient volcanic activity and…

The quantum nature of interactions between elementary particles allows drawing non-trivial conclusions even from processes as simple as elastic scattering. The ATLAS experiment at the LHC accelerator reports the measurement of fundamental properties of strong…

'This is all in full preparation.'

Starlink satellites are making thousands of avoidance maneuvers as low Earth orbit becomes more crowded, feeding worries that a catastrophic impact is inevitable. SpaceX’s orbital communication satellites performed maneuvers just over 25,000 times in the six-…

Ancient protein sequences identify the sex of Paranthropus robustus fossils and hint at evolutionary relationships.

New show at Hyderabad planetarium from today

Synthetic biologists from Rice University and Princeton University have demonstrated "live reporter" technology that can reveal the workings of networks of signaling proteins in living cells with far greater precision than current methods. The first-of-its-ki…

Astronomers proposed a new mechanism behind mysterious fast radio bursts (FRBs), and it involves unlucky asteroids crashing into neutron stars.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), crucial for blood cell production, can lead to severe diseases if DNA mutations occur, affecting organismal growth and health.

The first data release from the CEERS survey features a region known as the Extended Groth Strip and sends viewers back to shortly after the Big Bang.

Researchers at The University of Queensland have discovered the venom of a notorious caterpillar has a surprising ancestry and could be key to the delivery of lifesaving drugs.

The risk of cancer increases with every cell division. As such, you would expect long-lived species like elephants to get cancer more often than short-lived species like mice. In 1975, however, Richard Peto discovered that this is not the case, and that there…

More than two decades ago, the depiction of a 25-meter-long Liopleurodon in the BBC’s documentary series, Walking with Dinosaurs, instigated fervent discussions about the true size of this pliosaur. The portrayal was generally deemed as excessively exaggerate…

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a feeding supermassive black hole from when the universe was less than 600 million years old.
