A recent study suggests that most smaller galaxies may not have supermassive black holes in their center. This new finding goes against what scientists have previously known about galaxies and black holes. If proven to be true, it could reshape our understand…

About 880 light-years from Earth, a hot mess of an exoplanet is slowly spilling its atmosphere into space, creating two enormous tails of helium that stretch more than halfway around its star.

Astronomers at the University of Tokyo have used gravitational lensing to measure how fast the universe is expanding, adding weight to one of cosmology's most intriguing mysteries. Their technique exploits the way massive galaxies bend light from distant quas…

A never-before-seen image of individual oxygen atoms dissolved in water has been captured.

Scientists have uncovered a powerful new antibody that disrupts a key protein helping triple-negative breast cancer survive and evade immunity. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered one of the most aggressive and difficult forms of breast cancer …

Rocky planets like our Earth may be far more common than previously thought, according to new research published in the journal Science Advances. It suggests that when our solar system formed, a nearby supernova (the massive explosion of a star near the end o…

Glacial earthquakes are a special type of earthquake generated in cold, icy regions. First discovered in the Northern Hemisphere more than 20 years ago, these quakes occur when huge chunks of ice fall from glaciers into the sea.

Liftoff is scheduled for 3:49 a.m. ET on Monday (Dec. 15).

NASA is sending a robotic arm into orbit to help construct habitats and vital infrastructure in space, and Space X is lending a hand. It’s been more than five decades since American astronauts have been on the Moon. But earlier this year, NASA announced plans…

Liquids and solutions are complex environments—think, for example, of sugar dissolving in water, where each sugar molecule becomes surrounded by a restless crowd of water molecules. Inside living cells, the picture is even more complex: tiny liquid droplets c…

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have achieved the first experimental observation of a fragile-to-strong transition in deeply supercooled water, resolving a scientific puzzle that has persisted for nearly three decades.

Ancient tools, 3 million years old, have been discovered in Kenya, reshaping our understanding of early human technology.

Researchers believe that a new epoch may have begun on the Moon back in 1959, when humans first affected the surface.

Incredible dinosaur fossil reveals secrets of how it sounded, and what was inside its stomach!

December's faint Ursid meteor shower returns under dark skies, offering a small chance of unexpected activity.

Curiosity rover has uncovered something unexpected on Mars, hinting at a surprising twist in the planet's ancient history. What it found could change everything we thought we knew.

Scientists have uncovered shocking evidence that Earth’s largest ocean might be buried deep beneath our feet—hidden for billions of years inside solid rock. This discovery is rewriting everything we thought we knew about where our planet’s water came from… an…

The spider-like formation could be evidence of epic eruptions of water that blast through Europa' surface.

Researchers have figured out why V Sagittae is so gosh dang bright.

Taikonauts Zhang Lu and Wu Fei installed debris protection panels on China's Tiangong during an eight-hour spacewalk.

Turtle shells evolved over the course of 300 million years, but self-defense wasn't the initial driver, researchers think.

It may still be an uncomfortable subject for some, but periods are a real thing that people need to manage. But what do astronauts do in space? Well, they have some options, but now they may have one more.

The two have a brilliant response to the "3I/ATLAS is an alien spacecraft" hypothesis.

Just a handful of companies can make cadmium zinc telluride, a material with powerful properties.
