For the first time, MIT chemists 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.

A hilly terrain on Mars stood between Ingenuity and Perseverance, interrupting their communication for over 60 days.

Scientists have made a new discovery on how small planets might form. Researchers at the University of Warwick investigated the "birth environment" of planets—areas of gas and dust that swirl around a central star—known as the protoplanetary disk.

After a career with NASA that spanned 14 years and included 334 days in space and five spacewalks, Astronaut Mike Hopkins has retired from NASA.

An international research team has discovered that a subduction zone's age affects the ability for it to recycle water between the Earth's surface and its inner layers. The more mature the subduction zone, the bigger the water storage capacity.

On June 25, 2023, a crew of four volunteers entered a simulated Martian habitat, from which they will not emerge for over a year. Their mission: to learn more about the logistics—and the human psychology—of living long-term on another planet, without ever lea…

Tryptophan is one of 20 amino acids essential for forming key proteins needed for life.

A researcher has discovered non-thermal emissions from the classical nova V1674 Herculis, challenging the conventional understanding of these celestial objects as simple heat-induced explosions. This rare finding, using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), re…

Researchers have created an antenna for light sources on a chip using an unusual placement of a semiconductor material. In the future, efficient nanoscale LEDs and lasers could be produced in this way.

Minnesotans will get a chance to view the first supermoon of 2023 on Monday evening.

The fast switching and modulation of light is at the heart, among other things, of modern data transfer, in which information is sent through fiber optic cables in the shape of modulated light beams. It has been possible for several years now to miniaturize l…

Gravitational astronomy is a relatively new discipline that has opened many doors for astronomers to understand how the huge and violent end of the scale works. It has been used to map out merging black holes and other extreme events throughout the universe. …

The solar flare erupted from a sunspot seven times the width of the Earth.

This "altercentric bias" might facilitate learning during a time when the infant's ability to interact with the environment is limited.

Dutch and American researchers have used computer simulations to develop a protein that works like an anti-freeze agent. Researchers could use this protein to freeze and defrost biological material such as immune cells, sperm, and perhaps even donor

Four researchers from TU/e have been awarded a Vidi grant from the Dutch Research Council to further develop their innovative research. Janne-Mieke Meijer, Wouter Meulemans, Tugce Martagan, and Ruud van Sloun will each receive a grant worth 800,000 e

Three launches are currently planned for the week of July 2 through July 9. The…

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover captured this doughnut-shaped rock in Jezero Crater from about 328 feet (100 meters) away using its Remote Microscopic Imager (RMI), part of the SuperCam instrument, on June 22, 2023, the 832nd Martian day, or sol, of the missio…

In the field of superconductivity—the phenomenon in which electrons can flow through a material with essentially zero resistance—the "holy grail" of discovery is a superconductor that can perform under everyday temperatures and pressures. Such a material coul…

The images come from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. Scientists say they've never seen photos quite like these.

NASA unveiled a stunning image of the ringed planet and several of its moons.

Data collected by an observatory in Antarctica has produced our first view of the Milky Way galaxy through the lens of neutrino particles. It's the first time we have seen our galaxy "painted" with a particle, rather than in different wavelengths of light.
