Holograms are created with a single OLED pixel, bringing phones and glasses closer to projecting real 3D images without the need for lasers.

Following the anomaly the spacecraft is no longer communicating with Earth, and NASA isn't sure why.

"We are only beginning to discover the true complexity of these worlds."

This past Saturday people around Lake Superior saw a long flash of sparkling white and green light trail across the night sky. Was it a meteor? Santa’s sleigh? Turns out, it was a piece of “space junk.”

The European Space Agency’s Swarm mission detected a large but temporary spike of high-energy protons at Earth’s poles during a geomagnetic storm in November. It did this not with the scientific instruments for measuring Earth’s magnetic field, but with its ‘…

Comets have tails; 3I/ATLAS has a tail, and even Mercury has one. Does Earth have a tail? Yes. Our planet also has a tail, which possibly extends to two million kilometres into space. It is present on the dark side of the planet.

Parakeets form new friendships by slowly testing how close they can safely get to unfamiliar birds. This careful process helps them avoid conflict while identifying trustworthy partners.

Blue Origin targets four-flight campaign for New Glenn’s path to Space Force certification Blue Origin targets four-flight campaign for New Glenn’s path to Space Force certification

New measurements using gravitational lensing suggest the universe’s current expansion rate does not agree with signals from the early cosmos.

Researchers at the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology, Karolinska Institutet have captured the first detailed molecular snapshots of human polynucleotide phosphorylase (hPNPase) in action, revealing how this essential mitochondrial enzyme degrades RNA t…

A strange X-ray signal spotted decades ago may be the result of a star that got attacked by two black holes, one after the other.

The cosmos has served up a gift for a group of scientists who have been searching for one of the most elusive phenomena in the night sky. Their study, presented in Science Advances, reports on the very first observations of a swirling vortex in spacetime caus…

Vividly imagining a positive interaction with someone can increase how much you like them — and even alter how your brain stores information about that person.

In a new publication, Professor José-María Martín-Olalla, from the Department of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Seville, has described the direct link between the vanishing of specific heats at absolute zero—a general experimental observation e…

Ancient footprints, preserved in mud and dating back tens of thousands of years, the details are waiting to be uncovered.

The findings hint at the creeping presence of microplastics near the South Pole, researchers suggest.

Cells can sense mitochondrial damage through signalling via an unimported mitochondrial targeting sequence.

Chinese scientists are developing a drone that can roll and fly on Mars, here’s why it’s a game changer!

Researchers have uncovered surprising evidence that the deep ocean’s carbon-fixing engine works very differently than long assumed. While ammonia-oxidizing archaea were thought to dominate carbon fixation in the sunless depths, experiments show that other mic…

The ALICE Collaboration provides details on the microscopic mechanism that ends up creating antideuteron in high-energy proton–proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.

New discoveries suggest that Earth's crust contains vast reserves of natural hydrogen, potentially offering a sustainable and clean energy source for centuries to come.

Revisiting old data from Voyager 2, scientists have worked out how a dense, shocked region of the solar wind could have manipulated Uranus' magnetosphere.

At the base of mossy trees, deep in the mountains of Taiwan and mainland Japan or nestled in the subtropical forests of Okinawa, grows what most might mistake for a mushroom—but it is actually a very unique plant with some of the smallest flowers and seeds in…

A dazzling point of light that once guided the Magi has fascinated scientists and believers for centuries.

Imagine a future where quantum computers supercharge machine learning—training models in seconds, extracting insights from massive datasets and powering next-gen AI. That future might be closer than you think, thanks to a breakthrough from researchers at Aust…
