The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems. Meanwhile, other quantum physics research has been investigating t…

Beneath Antarctica’s thick ice, a hidden landscape has finally been uncovered, revealing ancient peaks buried for millions of years. New research sheds light on the dynamic forces that shaped the continent’s geological history.

Physicists at Fermilab have made the most precise measurement ever of a long-disputed value – the magnetic 'wiggle' of an elementary particle known as a muon.

New research has overturned a long-held belief in neuroscience by showing that the brain uses separate synaptic transmission sites for spontaneous and evoked signaling.

A giant mouth-like hole in the Sun about as wide as five Jupiters is blasting hot Sun breath in Earth's general direction.

Dubbed Elsa, the tool was expected to roll out at the end of June. The FDA says it marks the dawn of a new era.

Contrary to the popular saying, rules aren't meant to be broken, as they are foundational to society and exist to uphold safety, fairness and order in the face of chaos. The collective benefits of rule-following are well established, but individual incentives…

"Studying the chemistry of ultra hot planets like WASP-121b helps us to understand how gas giant atmospheres work under extreme temperature conditions."

A simple rule that seems to govern how life is organized on Earth is described in a new study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution.

A possible new dwarf planet has been discovered at the edge of our solar system, so far-flung that it takes around 25,000 years to complete one orbit around the sun. The object, known as 2017 OF201, was found by researchers at the Institute for Advanced Study…

Experts in North America dispute Chinese developer’s claim for primacy in the breakthrough for space exploration infrastructure.

New results resolve the long-standing anomaly of the muon’s magnetic moment – and may offer hints about the nature of dark matter.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an unprecedented view of the deep Universe, revealing galaxies forming in the cosmic dawn. This remarkable achievement marks a significant milestone in our understanding of the early Universe, requiring over 120 hou…

The Aerospace Industries Association has written a letter to Congress regarding NASA FY 2026 budget request

Journey through the galaxy while seeing a new scientific discovery.

SpaceX plans to launch another Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base on Wednesday, June 4.

As part of the Chicago-Carnegie Hubble Program, astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have performed new measurements of the Hubble constant.

A new simulation by researchers shows how a neutron star violently cracks seconds before vanishing into a black hole.

Researchers think stopping necrosis, a harmful form of cell death, could prevent inflammation, protect aging organs, and reduce disease risk.

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can figure out how to harness them.

The findings could help answer a longstanding question about how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable world with rivers and lakes into the frozen desert we see today.

The brain’s white matter microstructure at just three months of age can predict how an infant’s emotions will develop over time.

The first American spacewalk remains a stunning a sight as it did 60 years ago when NASA astronaut Ed White made history.
