Quantum computers are alternative computing devices that process information, leveraging quantum mechanical effects, such as entanglement between different particles. Entanglement establishes a link between particles that allows them to share states in such a…

Many technological applications, such as sensors and batteries, greatly rely on electrochemical reactions. Improving these technologies depends on understanding how electrochemical reactions work. However, most current methods cannot look at electrochemical r…

For all of cycling's health benefits, bone density isn't one of them, so how are the pros combating the effects that a career in the saddle has on their bones, and what can we learn from them?

Most bacteria, including many bacterial pathogens, are surrounded by an outer protective layer of sugar molecules, known as a capsule. This primarily protects the bacteria from environmental influences, but also serves as a kind of cloak of invisibility, enab…

The first known “exosyzygy” witnessed outside our Solar System is set to occur again in just a few weeks.

Researchers at The University of Manchester have developed a new way to design Earth-observation satellite missions that could help protect the space environment while continuing to deliver vital data for tackling global challenges, such as climate change, fo…

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said he expects to provide details about several agency priorities in the coming weeks.

We are learning how the universe truly puts itself together, one subtle thread at a time.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe just made a game-changing discovery about the Sun. Find out what it uncovered!

A new species of crocodylomorph dating to about 215 million years ago has been described from the U.K. It has been called Galahadosuchus jonesi in recognition of David Rhys Jones, a secondary school physics teacher from Ysgol Uwchradd Aberteifi who gave inspi…

For decades, scientists have searched the skies for signs of extraterrestrial technology. A study from EPFL asks a sharp question: if alien signals have already reached Earth without us noticing, what should we realistically expect to detect today?

A recent study showed that Mars was warm and wet billions of years ago. The finding contrasts with another theory that this era was mainly cold and icy. The result has implications for the idea that life could have developed on the planet at this time.

Straight to the dome.

General Galactic, led by former SpaceX engineer Halen Mattison, is testing a revolutionary plan to use water as rocket fuel.

NASA captured a surreal “double rainbow” stretching 300 miles beside rare cloud vortices over Mexico, two striking atmospheric phenomena in one frame.

It's the second most energetic cosmic ray ever to be detected striking Earth.

Well-built and capable, the NOVAStar Scarlet A62Q 62mm is a beginner telescope punches that well above its bargain price.

When I started my career in cosmology four decades ago, I was intrigued by an inevitable consequence of the Big Bang model. In addition to…

Researchers have discovered that a little-known by-product of sunflower oil production could dramatically improve the nutritional value of bread.

Infrared footage from Costa Rica reveals the secret social life of the world’s largest carnivorous bat, and it’s nothing like its fearsome reputation.

For 60 years, a skull fused to a Greek cave wall defied science, too human, yet not human enough.

A 307-million-year-old skull from Nova Scotia is overturning a core assumption about when animals first began eating plants.

Our planet was once a harsh, alien, icy world. Yet this deep freeze may have shaped you, me and all life on Earth
