Researchers propose in a new study that the universe's lack of clumpiness suggests dark matter is composed of hypothetical, ultra-light particles called axions. If confirmed, this could have broad implications for our understanding of the universe and could e…

According to a recent study, the microorganisms in the human stomach may be used to prevent the body from absorbing harmful metals like mercury while assisting it in absorbing beneficial ones for nourishment, like iron.

Scientists are hopeful of getting more such views in the coming weeks as the Juno spacecraft passes over the giant planet’s night side.

Newly planted vegetation on coastal sand dunes can accelerate erosion from extreme waves, a study involving researchers from the Oregon State University College of Engineering suggests.The authors note the findings run counter to the widely accepted

New research reveals that quantum effects defy the universality of free fall, providing a potential experimental pathway to test quantum gravity.

Researchers tested whether clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) status was associated with Alzheimer's disease.

An international team of researchers has unlocked a large-scale genomic analysis of Setaria or foxtail millet, an important cereal crop. The study, led by researchers at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and including scientists at NYU, ad

The recent study challenges conventional ideas and introduces a mechanism where the Earth rapidly formed through the accumulation of small pebbles.

Imagine landing on the Moon only to realise that you're allergic to Moon dust. That's exactly what happened with Apollo 17 astronaut Harrison H. Schmitt, who realised that the dust on Moon was triggering his allergies.Schmitt is now 87-years-old and is among …

Measuring cosmic distances is challenging, and astronomers rely on multiple methods and tools to do it – collectively referred to as the cosmic distance ladder.

Both TOI 3353b and TOI 3353c are in close orbits around the host star, which is at a distance of 257 lightyears from the Earth.

When people on Earth look up into space, the Milky Way seems to be filled with billions of stars. But if we look even further out, could we find proof that we

If you can identify a foreground star, the spike patterns are a dead giveaway as to whether it's a JWST image or any other observatory.

Reduced nitrogen which is an important nutrient to support life, can be redistributed across the planet by the atmosphere.

From a mission that will investigate dark matter to a Super Blue Moon, there are many space events to look forward to this summer.

Sales of plant-based meat products have levelled off in recent years, at least in part because current offerings lack the texture or mouthfeel of a nice T-bone steak or chicken breast.

Estimates suggest that pumping out and shifting ginormous amounts of groundwater from one point to another has already increased global sea levels by at least 6 millimetres between 1993 and 2010!

The impact of human activity on the Earth system could result in unpredictable chaos from which there is no return, physicists have calculated.

New research suggests that microbes in the human gut could be harnessed to help mitigate the absorption of toxic metals.

Research examines the impact of the Western diet on various aspects of health, including metabolism, inflammation, gut microbiota, cardiovascular health, mental health, and cancer. It provides insights into the effects of this dietary pattern on individuals a…

Thanks to a well-placed gravitational lens, a team of astronomers was able to observe a supernova four times!

Jets of light 60,000 times hotter than the sun have been captured by astronomers observing a quasar—the most powerful object in the universe.

With the proliferation of satellite trails, astronomers see a lot more streaks in their images.
