A new study reveals that nostalgia plays a powerful role in making us want to dance, even more so than familiarity with a song alone.

Astronomers from the University of Hawaiʻi's Institute for Astronomy (IfA) have discovered the most energetic cosmic explosions yet discovered, naming the new class of events "extreme nuclear transients" (ENTs). These extraordinary phenomena occur when massiv…

Scientists have uncovered evidence that dinosaurs suffered from cancer. A 70-million-year-old fossil reveals a tumor linked to one that still affects humans today.

New observations from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes have captured a rare cosmic event: two galaxy clusters have collided and are now

Scientists have discovered a giant planet called TOI-6894b, orbiting a star that should be far too small to have formed it. The discovery could further challenge theories of planet formation.

For the first time in almost 30 years, the heaviest nucleus decaying via proton emission has been measured. The previous similar breakthrough was achieved in 1996.

After 25 years of capturing Earth's changing landscape, the Landsat 7 satellite received its final transmission from the U.S. Geological Survey and was officially decommissioned June 4, closing a remarkable chapter in space-based observation.

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe—a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else—something more familiar…

An experiment in mice has discovered that a mother’s iron deficiency alters sex determination. Until now, it was believed that only genetics defined this biological trait

A new study suggests that unidentified "co-orbital asteroids" around Venus may have the capacity to impact our planet in the future, with potentially devastating consequences. However, there is no immediate threat.

The discovery of fire was one of the most fundamental advancements of human development, but researchers can't agree on why it came about.

NASA SMD just issued this solicitation notice

A study on beetleweed shows that autopolyploid plants with different chromosome sets can coexist, reshaping how scientists understand rapid speciation. About 3.7 billion years ago, a chain of naturally occurring amino acids, similar to those found in meteorit…

A stunning 34-million-year-old snake fossil discovery in Wyoming is rewriting the history of evolution.

A simple planetarium show led to an unexpected discovery, revealing a shocking new structure!

If you are over the eucalyptus stem look that dominated the 2010s, there are some more modern options that you can explore.

With 25x magnification and giant 100mm lenses, these binoculars from Celestron are built for serious night sky observation — ideal for tripods and clear skies.

A new theory could finally unite quantum mechanics and gravity into a single Theory of Everything - one of physics biggest challenges

It sort of looks like a honeycomb of hot gas, or a hazelnut croquant.

A new NASA documentary, Cosmic Dawn, chronicles the inside story of the James Webb Space Telescope. John Mather led the telescope's science team for decades.
