In 1997 an ambitious international mission, led by NASA’S Jet Propulsion Laboratory, launches to Saturn. The goal is to place a spacecraft around the planet and land the European Space Agency’s probe on a moon in the outer solar system, something never before…

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has released a huge trove of digital renderings of the red planet.

Researchers at the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory have detailed the complete light curve of high-energy photons from a gamma-ray burst (GRB) for the first time, challenging current theoretical models. Their observation of the exceptionally rare an…

In a far-reaching discovery with astrophysicist Karolina Garcia, we discuss what's in the Universe and how it grew up.

University of Toronto Study Explores Dark Matter and Cosmic Web Connection, Proposing Ultra-Light Axions as a Solution

Is polar ice melting? The simple and straightforward answer is yes. It is, in fact, melting. But it's a bit more complicated than that. You can think of ice sheets or Antarctica and Greenland as a bathtub full of water. And we want to know how much is going i…

Researchers have spotted the fastest runaway star to have ever escaped the Milky Way as a result of a massive thermonuclear explosion.

Nasal drops show remarkable promise in stroke recovery, study finds

Desmin (DES) maintains the overall structure of cardiomyocytes and cytoskeletal organization within striated muscle cells. Mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase 2 (TXNRD-2) is essential for mitochondrial oxygen radical scavenging. We describe a rare case of dil…

Europa’s seafloor may be cool and hydrated, and may experience limited, if any, seafloor volcanism.

Europa may have a metamorphic origin for the ocean. While some scientists speculated this, a research team shows that if Europa indeed formed from hydrated rocks (i.e., rocks have hydrogen and oxygen), then enough of Europa's interior should get hot enough to…

With a dramatic boost in computing capability, a team of researchers has solved a decades-long mystery about whether optical waves can be trapped in three-dimensional randomly packed micro- or nanoparticles.

Researchers created a new and improved way to view the mechanics of life.

The technique uses organic chemistry and nanotechnology to push molecules together and create chemicals without the use of costly solvents that pollute the environment.
