The heads of U.S. and UK command chiefs have raised fears that China is planning to mine the moon for minerals. How does China plan to do it? Molly Gambhir t...

Time is a slippery thing, as profound thinkers like physicist Albert Einstein and, well, fictional time traveler Dr. Who plainly understood. Scientists made...

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 dila…

A doughnut-shaped rock has been found on the surface of Mars by Nasa's Perseverance rover.

A facile technique for reproducibly creating Swiss-cheese-like nanomaterials has been developed by researchers at KAUST. This material, and the method required to create it, could help in the development of further advanced materials with applications in phot…

Researchers from the Center for Genomic Regulation (CRG) in Barcelona have published a study in the journal Nature Communications that reveals how cells carry out the controlled release of mucins and insulin, two crucial proteins for human health.

BHOPAL : Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal (IISER Bhopal) Dr. Mayuresh Surnis was part of an International team of astronomers from India, Japan and Europe that has published the results from ‘Monitoring Pulsars,’ nature’s bes

A new image from the $10 billion observatory reveals the gas giant’s ring structure and its moons.

The prediction of stable crystal structures is an important part of designing solid-state crystalline materials with desired properties. Recent advances in structural feature representations and generative neural networks promise the ability to efficiently cr…

This full moon will mark the first of four supermoons that will rise this summer.

A major scientific goal of future detectors is to deliver a comprehensive catalog of gravitational wave events, and this will be a completely novel use of the remarkable dataset.

Scientists Discover , Traces of Massive , Gravitational Waves. Scientists believe they have found signs of an elusive type of rumbling through space that could signal the largest, most powerful

The scientists discovered a signal in the InSight data that can only be explained by the presence of a liquid core.

The ground-based space station is made up of multiple chambers that each simulate a different environment, ranging from the lunar surface to microgravity.

A Bayesian-based analysis of 190 cosmologically distant quasars, photometrically observed over two decades, has revealed the long-expected presence of cosmic time dilation owing to the expansion of space imprinted on their variability.

National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have devised a novel process for transforming human hair waste into a useful substance that can be used to encrypt sensitive information or identify environmental pollutants.

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence model, TIGER, that predicts the on- and off-target activity of RNA-targeting CRISPR tools. This innovation, detailed in a study published in Nature Biotechnology, can accurately design guide RNAs, modulate…

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.

Found in at least 12,000 varieties from snow-capped mountains to red-hot deserts, moss is the oldest living relative of all plants

Scientists at the University of Bath have developed a mathematical model to explain how antiresonant hollow-core fibers guide light in a way that keeps data loss ultra-low. Until now, scientists had no complete explanation for this well-observed phenomenon.

A team of astronomers from several European institutions led by Northumbria University in Newcastle has discovered "shooting stars" on the sun. Observations from the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter (SolO) have revealed never-before-seen "falling star"-t…

A group led by researchers at Nagoya University in Japan has developed a technology to capture and release cell-free DNA (cfDNA) on nanowire surfaces from urine. By extracting this DNA, they were able to successfully detect IDH1 mutation, a characteristic gen…
