A study has found that long-duration space travel leads to significant expansion of brain ventricles, requiring approximately three years for full recovery. This discovery could impact future mission planning and the timing of repeated space travel. As we ent…

A research team from the University of California, Santa Cruz, have used the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility's Summit supercomputer to run one of the most complete cosmological models yet to probe the properties of dark matter—the hypothetical cosmic …

With last week's announcement of the gravitational wave background detected by timing arrays, the assumption was that these are the constant thrum of supermassive black holes orbiting each other. A new paper investigates whether these gravitational wave signa…

An international research team led by Prof. Dr. Tomoo Katsura at the Bavarian Research Institute of Experimental Geochemistry and Geophysics, University of Bayreuth, has discovered why rocks in the Earth's interior suddenly become more viscous at depths of 80…

Depictions of the Milky Way show a coiling pattern of spiral "arms" filled with stars extending outward from the center. Similar patterns have been observed in the swirling clouds of gas and dust surrounding some young stars—planetary systems in the making.

Though Earth's innermost core is solid, new research suggests that it hosts a lot of variation.

A team of astronomers has detected the faint hum of gravitational waves echoing throughout our universe, possibly caused by black holes.

The newfound extinct species is remarkably similar to the living "little penguin," which only weighs around 2 pounds.

The space telescope is on its way to map out a large-scale structure of the Universe across space and time.

A flat metal structure printed with an innovative copper-based ink turns into a 3D spider.

The link between a planetary interior and its surface is a key to understanding the formation process of the surface environment of the planet.

Coverage of wispy cirrus clouds is linked to episodes of electrical activity.

Non-invasive imaging approach could lead to innovations in embryo screening.

Researchers have discovered the most distant active supermassive black hole to date with the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy, CEERS 1019, existed just over 570 million years after the big bang, and its black hole is less massive than any other yet iden…

It is day 12 for a crew of volunteers living inside NASA’s virtual Mars station. The 3D-printed, 1,700-foot habitat simulates the environment and missions ex...

Computers possess two remarkable capabilities with respect to images: They can both identify them and generate them anew. Historically, these functions have stood separate, akin to the disparate acts of a chef who is good at creating dishes (generati

A team of researchers led by Feng Zhang at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard has uncovered the first programmable RNA-guided system in eukaryotes — organisms that include fungi, plants, and an

Titled Calabrian forearc uplift paced by slab-mantle interactions during subduction retreat, the research focuses on subduction zones, particularly in southern Italy, and suggests that the descent of a tectonic plate through Earth's mantle and its influence o…

Bay Area residents have only half as many microbial species in their gut as hunter-gatherers in Tanzania.

Peter Coles of Maynooth University tells Vish Gain about how Euclid will test decades-old predictions on dark matter and energy, and maybe more.

A team of scientists has recently identified a method that is able to successfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is available, affordable, and capable of being implemented right now.

A new study reveals that Earth's inner core is not homogenous mass as once assumed by scientists
