A groundbreaking development in the creation of biodegradable implants for joint injuries has been achieved through the creation of a unique gel that combines both stiffness and toughness.

A study from the University of Rochester, using zircon crystals, found that plate tectonics was inactive during the period when life first appeared on Earth. Instead, a "stagnant lid" mechanism was operating, releasing heat through surface cracks. This discov…

A probe sent toward the Sun ran into the debris of an asteroid breakup.

A new quantum theory developed by scientists at the City University of Hong Kong provides unprecedented insights into the 'light-induced phase' of matter, offering potential to revolutionize quantum photonics and control at room temperature. The theory signif…

Odin Space is preparing to start detecting tiny but potentially dangerous pieces of orbital debris in the coming weeks from a sensor on a recently launched space tug, according to the British startup’s cofounder and CEO James New.

Nintendo's President and CEO Shuntaro recently said that the company is exploring ways to make it easier to bring your current games to its next-generation console - whenever it comes out..

A Cretaceous origin for placental mammals, the group that includes humans, dogs and bats, has been revealed by in-depth analysis of the fossil record, showing they co-existed with dinosaurs for a short time before the dinosaurs went extinct.

Dark, billowing clouds sweep across this stunning photo of a large star-forming area of the Orion constellation.

Newly discovered gravitational lens reveals four copies of distant supernova SN Zwicky.

NASA's Mars habitat was created to prepare crews for the physical and mental challenges of living on another planet.

As we age, our bodies change and degenerate over time in a process called senescence. Stem cells, which have the unique ability to change into other cell types, also experience senescence, which presents an issue when trying to maintain cell cultures for ther…
