Abstract. Some observations and numerical simulations of disc-magnetosphere interaction show that accretion can proceed in the propeller regime. When the Alfvén

Abstract. We present the first X-ray observation at sub-arcsecond resolution of the high-redshift (z = 6.18) radio-loud quasar CFHQS J142952+544717 (J1429). The

Abstract. Utilising archival Chandra X-ray Observatory data and Hubble Space Telescope globular cluster catalogues, we probe the time-domain properties of the l

The same confident optimism which organized thousands of scientists towards the successful detection of high-frequency gravitational waves in 2015 now has produced its first fruit with another detector technology and strategy in seeing the background of long-…

July 4, 199: Mars Pathfinder (MESUR Pathfinder) is an American robotic spacecraft that landed a base station with a roving probe on Mars in 1997.

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 7:14 p.m. EDT (4:14 p.m. PDT) on July 2, 2023. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event. This flare is classified as an X1.0 flare. X-class denotes the…

We asked SETI Institute research scientist and NANOGrav team member Dr. Michael Lam three questions about last week's news that researchers had discovered lo...

Shooting stars are comet debris or meteors streaking across the sky as they burn up in Earth's atmosphere, but on the sun, they are made of the sun itself.

Imaging advance will have important implications in many areas of science, including medical and environmental research

The exhibit, Welcome to Earth, tells the story of meteorites that scattered across The Rio Grande Valley earlier this year.

A new way to develop Earth from asteroids is being developed, and it includes one of the oldest weapons in our history.

In an article published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Michael Mann, professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science in the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts & Sciences, and colleagues from Clemson University, …

The sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 7:14 p.m. ET on July 2, 2023. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of the event.

Paleontologists have identified a new genus and species of vampyromorph coleoid from a fossil specimen found in the Middle Jurassic La Voulte-sur-Rhône Lagerstätte, France.

A rumbling stomach is a normal part of digestion.

All you space buffs, mark September 24, 2023 on your calendars. That’s when the first U.S. spacecraft to collect a sample from an asteroid is due to deposit a capsule containing that material back on Earth. The team charged with recovering it held

Chemists have measured the energy transfer between photosynthetic light-harvesting proteins. They discovered that the disorganized arrangement of light-harvesting proteins boosts the efficiency of the energy transduction.

Artificial intelligence can predict on- and off-target activity of CRISPR tools that target RNA instead of DNA, according to new research published in Nature Biotechnology.

Our body's fat metabolism plays a vital role in energy production in our body. A research team at the University of Basel, Switzerland, has discovered a molecular switch that regulates lipid metabolism in our cells.

Cameras mounted on Europe's new weather satellite will keep an eye on thunderstorms in Europe and Africa like never before.

Airglow is similar to an aurora, but the colors occur due to a different type of energy.

Helping to promote the natural relationship between plants and bacteria could reduce reliance on environmentally damaging fertilizers, a study has found.

The Light Bender robotics project from space technology company Maxar will autonomously redirect sunlight to power solar panels in dark regions of the lunar surface.

Since the mid-1600s, chemists have been fascinated with brightly colored, coral-like structures that form by mixing metal salts in a small bottle.

When photosynthetic cells absorb light from the sun, packets of energy called photons leap between a series of light-harvesting proteins until they reach the photosynthetic reaction center. There, cells convert the energy into electrons, which eventually powe…
