"We might lose the ability to observe about 30% of the faintest galaxies. We are at the point of starting to be able to see details of exoplanet atmospheres, but if the sky gets brighter, we may not be able to see those details anymore."

When and how to experience the six‑minute “eclipse of the century” on Aug. 2, 2027, as totality sweeps Spain, North Africa and the Middle East.

All of the editors-in-chief and associate editors of Springer Nature's Journal of Philosophical Logic have announced their immediate or pending resignation and the launch, as of today, of a new "diamond" open access journal, Philosophical Logic. It appears th…

An unusual new rock collection discovered by NASA's Perseverance Mars rover suggests the Red Planet's ancient past was wet and tropical.

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

The "ice giants" of the Solar System – Uranus and Neptune – remain the least explored of any planets orbiting our Sun.

The Hubble Space Telescope and the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer have captured fresh images of an interstellar comet as the object nears its closest approach to Earth later this month.

Legend once had it that the huge, three-toed footprints scattered across the central highlands of Bolivia came from supernaturally strong monsters — capable of sinking their claws even into solid rock

Scientists trace the origins of human kissing back over 20 million years to ancient apes who first showed gentle mouth-to-mouth contact.

Author Vlatko Vedral shares 5 key insights from his new book, Portals to a New Reality: Five Pathways to the Future of Physics.

"We reported hints of methane, but the question is, 'is the methane attributable to molecules in the atmosphere of the planet or in the host star?'"

A new study led by researchers at the University of Ottawa provides a series of highly detailed 3D models of the Earth's temperature beneath Greenland and northeastern Canada, providing insights into the region's geological history and the response of the ice…

In study, researchers are able to essentially recharge cells like batteries

For decades, nuclear physicists believed that "Islands of Inversion"—regions where the normal rules of nuclear structure suddenly break down—were found mostly in neutron-rich isotopes. In these unusual pockets of the nuclear chart, magic numbers disappear, sp…

"It’s kind of a jigsaw puzzle where all the different pieces are moving."

Unimatic drops a quartet of gorgeous, minimalist timepieces inspired by the mountains of the brand's Italian homeland.

You may be surprised to learn that despite our cold start to the month, the Arctic is a different story. While we have been seeing temperatures average about 10 degrees below normal over the past week to 10 days, the Arctic has been well above normal.

Scientists studying a fragment of the Sun King’s heart conclude that the diagnosis at the time of gangrene was wrong

With mostly clear skies expected in Oregon’s dark sky country, this could be your year.

Dark matter is special in that it doesn't emit, absorb or interact with light, so science had to find a more creative way to see it.

Reliably quantifying and characterizing the quantum states of various systems is highly advantageous for both quantum physics research and the development of quantum technologies. Quantifying these states typically entails performing several measurements and …

Scientists hunted dark matter and solar neutrinos with one of the largest experiments yet. While the neutrinos likely appeared, dark matter results couldn't be confirmed.
