Three scientists of Wageningen University & Research are to receive a Vidi grant of up to 800,000 euros. The funds can be put towards developing an innovative research tract and expanding…

Using a dataset representing 380 placental mammal families, the researchers calculated that about 21.3% of them could have mingled with dinosaurs in the Cretaceous period.

The Hubble Space Telescope has spied on the Milky Way's galactic neighbor, irregular galaxy ESO 174-1, imaging it as a lonely hazy cloud.

Aphelion marks the point in our planet's orbit of the sun when it's at its maximum distance from our star. So why is it so hot out?

Modeling chemical garden growth in 2 and 3 dimensions.

A textured film maximizes sunlight by generating an increased amount of red light, reducing the costs of algae production on a significant scale.

Scientists have been making drones using material from dead birds. So obviously, we needed to know why.

New research expands understanding of supermassive black holes' capabilities.

A team of astronomers led by researchers from the University of Birmingham, University College London and Queen's University Belfast have discovered one of the most dramatic 'switches on' of a black hole ever seen. They will present their findings on Tuesday …

The gas that produce stars also cushion them from the blast of nearby supernovae.

This July, witness Venus, Mars, and other planets and stars. Don't miss the chance to see the bright core of our Milky Way galaxy - best viewed this month!

The magnetic field collapsed long ago, but it remains in unevenly distributed pockets across the planet.

For about half a century, physicists have puzzled over vibrations in glass at low temperatures. The reason: Glass carries sound waves and vibrations differently than other solids—it "vibrates differently." But why? And how can the propagation of sound in glas…

Tunneling spectroscopy uncovers the clearest proof yet that this exotic superconducting state of matter exists without a magnetic field in an iron-based superconductor. Researchers discovered an alternate superconducting state, called a pair density wave (PDW…

CRISPR and AI accurately control gene expression.

The four-year undergraduate program, launched in partnership with online learning platform Coursera, will have multiple entry and exit options.

A simple and rapid method for detecting SARS-CoV-2 RNA.

Radioactive isotopes in meteorites suggest that a supernova erupted in the vicinity of the solar system as it was forming.

Massive solar flare causes radio blackout in US and Pacific Ocean

The vast majority of deep-sea exploration is nothing like the OceanGate disaster.

Researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) have invented a novel microwave isolator and have demonstrated, for the first time, its basic principle that enables small isolators; essential for future quantum computers. This isolator co…

There are eight planets in our solar system – plus poor old Pluto, which was demoted in 2006 – but what if there were more?Turns out that might be the case. Astronomers have calculated there is a 7 per cent chance that Earth has another neighbour hiding in th…
