Why didn't the universe collapse into a black hole during the earliest moments of the Big Bang? Simply put, because that's not how you make a black hole.

An international team including a University of Washington scientist has found that the water on one of Saturn’s moons harbors phosphates, a key building block of life. The team led by the Freie Universität Berlin used data from NASA’s Cassini space

Over 192,000 lightning flashes lit up the billowing volcanic cloud.

Upgrades to Kennedy Ground Systems near completion for Artemis II.

Inspired by the pangolin's physiology, scientists have created a magnetically-guided soft medical robot, which is flexible and freely movable despite comprising rigid metal components

Read more about Milky Way's supermassive black hole woke up about 200 years ago after sudden cosmic snack on Devdiscourse

An international team of researchers, led by University of Toronto Engineering Professor Yu Zou, is using electric fields to control the motion of material defects. This work has important implications for improving the properties and manufacturing processes …

A team of German scientists has discovered a parasitic tapeworm that can allow a certain species of ants to live way longer when infected.

Utrecht University has appointed chemist Eefjan Breukink as professor of Microbial Membranes and Antibiotics. Breukink and his group are engaged in research aimed at finding new antibiotics that target bacterial cell membranes, the structures that se

HAT-P-32b is a fascinating exoplanet with some unusual characteristics. It has a low density, only 10 percent of Jupiter's, and it orbits its star at an incredibly close distance.

Usually the summer solstice is all about Earth and the Sun, but Mars, Venus, and the Moon are getting in on the action this year.

Are there earthquakes on other planets? There sure are, but we don’t call them earthquakes. Instead, “moonquakes” & “marsquakes” are shaking things up in spa...

For the first time, researchers have been able to study the internal workings of unprocessed spider silk. This additional data could help further the production of synthetic fibers strong enough to replace materials like Kevlar or carbon fiber.

Can you drink it? Astronauts use their own urine, sweat to make clean water in space

In nature, smaller animals often attach themselves to larger ones to "hitch a ride" and save energy migrating large distances. In paper published on June 21 in the journal Current Biology, researchers show how microscopic Caenorhabditis elegans worms can use …

Ultraprecise time signals transmitted over 300 km.

Loss of the Y chromosome in tumour cells is associated with a poor prognosis for patients with bladder cancer by causing local T cell exhaustion, which also increases the response to immune checkpoint blockade therapy.

X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy analyses of Lettuce—a DNA mimic of GFP—bound to various fluorophores reveal previously unknown structures of DNA that rival analogous RNAs in complexity.

By treating molecules as geometric tessellations, scientists devised a new way to forecast how 2D materials might self-assemble.

An international team of scientists has discovered that Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, emerged from a long period of dormancy some 200 years ago.

Microsoft believes it will take fewer than 10 years to build a quantum supercomputer using qubits that will be able to perform a reliable 1M quantum operations per second.

A new publication by the PHENIX Collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provides definitive evidence that gluon "spins" are aligned in the same direction as the spin of the proton they're in. The result, just published in Physical Review L…

The only other white dwarf pulsar known to have been found was the discovery of AR Scorpii in 2016.

Scientists have developed a magnetically controlled soft medical robot inspired by the pangolin.

Tau aggregates have been a notable form of amyloid protein and hence have turned into a main focus of research for unveiling the mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration.
