The James Webb Space Telescope continues to impress with its unprecedented views of the universe. A new picture shows the wreckage of two galaxies crashing

A discovery with potentially mind-boggling implications about the behaviour of matter at the quantum and astronomical scales

Scientists have found another aurora here on Earth — but unlike the better known Northern Lights, this one doesn't put on a show for humans.

NASA has revealed details about 5 asteroids that are expected to approach Earth at extremely close distances in the next few days. Check details such as the speed, distance, and size of the asteroids, as per NASA.

Strange, never-before-seen movements in the East Africa Rift Valley appear to be driven by super-heated rock from deep beneath Earth's surface.

New biomechanical research reveals that Anomalocaris canadensis was speedy, but not strong enough to crack trilobite shells. New research on the extinct marine predator Anomalocaris canadensis disputes its status as an apex predator during the Cambrian era. U…

Using 'Cryo-EM', a powerful microscopy technique, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and collaborators have decoded the molecular architectu...

Engineers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new test that can predict the durability of cement in seconds to minutes—rather than the hours it takes using current methods. The test measures the behavior of water droplets on cement…

Revolutionary? Heat-resistant drones could soon fly into fires and map burning buildings, wildfires

The Moon is 4,05,500 km away from the Earth, and has been a focal point for interstellar exploration for most space-faring nations.

Scientists have found the biggest-ever gravitational wave passing through the Milky Way Galaxy

Vital to the fusion process and used in a wealth of technological applications, new research shows quantum tunneling is still delivering surprises.

In an exciting breakthrough, scientists have observed the early universe operating in an extreme state of slow motion, shedding light on one of the mysteries of Einstein's expanding universe. This discovery was made possible by using quasars, the supermassive…

The research, which was conducted by an international team, provides a glimpse into the earliest processes responsible for the formation of life's building elements.

The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes.

For thousands of years, we puzzled at how far away the Moon was. Today we know its distance, at any time, to within millimeters.

From the far reaches of the observable Universe, astronomers have just seen a supermassive black hole suddenly flare to life.

The latter, in a 2007 episode of the British sci-fi series, accurately described time as "wibbly wobbly." Scientists made that point anew on Monday in a study that used observations of a ferocious class of black holes called quasars to demonstrate "time dilat…

NASA's JWST has captured a stunning image of Saturn, completing its gallery of gas giants including Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune in our solar system.

Using the ALMA observatory, scientists studying the protoplanetary disk around young star HD 169142 have discovered strong chemical evidence of a protoplanet, offering a new method for detecting and studying these celestial bodies. The detection of silicon mo…

The Fourth of July holiday takes on extra meaning for one El Pasoan who’s had a chance to explore the country from space.

JAPAN: Scientists have discovered evidence suggesting that our solar system survived a potentially cataclysmic event caused by a nearby supernova explosion during its early formation. Based on isotopic analysis of meteorites, the findings indicate that a shie…
