Scientists have discovered that standard climate predictions may undervalue the surface temperature cooling effect of volcanic eruptions by a multiple of two, possibly even four. Despite this, the effect is not substantial enough to counterbalance the global …

Abstract. We present the discovery of FRB 20210410D with the MeerKAT radio interferometer in South Africa, as part of the MeerTRAP commensal project. FRB 202104

The next time that Kelly Haston, Ross Brockwell, Nathan Jones and Anca Selariu will see blue sky, a year will have gone by on Earth. Not that the four analog astronauts are leaving the planet, but for the next 12 months they will live in a mock Mars base.

A recent study published in Astrobiology examines the likelihood of the planet Venus being able to support life within the thick cloud layer that envelopes it. This study holds the potential to help us better understand how life could exist under the intense …

NASA has issued a warning regarding an asteroid that is rushing towards Earth at a furious speed.

As the spacecraft flew low over the giant planet's cloud tops, its JunoCam instrument captured this look at bands of high-altitude haze forming above cyclones in an area known at Jet N7.

Abstract. We analyze the structure of 15 protocluster forming regions in the Milky Way using their 1.3 mm continuum emission maps from the ALMA-IMF large progra

Evidence is growing about the many ways that traveling in the microgravity environment of space tampers with the human body, with new research showing how it dials down the activity of genes in white blood cells crucial to the immune system.

The small robot inspired by a pangolin that is capable of performing all kinds of operations inside the human being.

The medication Semaglutide, also known by brand names like Ozempic, has been approved to treat obesity, leading to an upsurge in demand that's caused recent procurement issues. Some patients struggling with obesity or diabetes have informally reported that th…

Tremendous progress has been made developing the materials necessary for a space elevator — but our need for one could soon disappear.

Some researchers say there is a chance that a solar superstorm could cause a large-scale internet failure within the next decade.

Analysis of lightweight nuclei emerging from gold ion collisions offers insight into primordial matter phase changes. Physicists analyzing data from gold ion smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of S…

Every large galaxy in the nearby universe contains a supermassive black hole at its core. The mass of those black holes seems to have a relationship to the mass of the host galaxies themselves. But estimating the masses of more distant supermassive black hole…
