The increased brightness of the star Betelgeuse has sparked speculation that it may go supernova soon. When will Betelgeuse explode?

A cutting-edge experiment has revealed the quantum dynamics of one of nature's most crucial processes.

A team of physicists, including University of Massachusetts assistant professor Tigran Sedrakyan, recently announced in the journal Nature that they have discovered a new phase of matter. Called the "chiral Bose-liquid state," the discovery opens a new path i…

When we walk around in our everyday life, we might not think of the Earth itself very often. But this planet is the foundation of our life. The air we breathe, the water we drink and the gravity that pins us to the ground.

As far as can currently be determined, we are the only technological civilization in this universe…at least the only one of which we are aware. There are many explanations as to why this would be s…

This is a Father's Day sale, but anyone can grab the Anycubic Photon M3 Max 3D printer with a massive $200 discount, for a limited time.

Astronomers using the Gemini North telescope, one half of the International Gemini Observatory operated by NSF’s NOIRLab, have detected multiple

Parabolic flights are the only way to create lunar gravity conditions on Earth.

Chromothriptically produced pieces of a micronucleated chromosome are shown to be tethered together in mitosis by a protein complex consisting of MDC1, TOPBP1 and CIP2A, thus enabling their inheritance by a single daughter cell.

We discovered that liquid metal endowing negative mixing enthalpy with other elements could provide a stable thermodynamic condition and act as a desirable dynamic mixing reservoir, realizing the synthesis of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles.

We describe globally frustrated matter as deformations of non-orientable surfaces, with the concept of non-orientable order we demonstrate topologically protected mechanical memories, suggesting a design principle for effectively storing information in f…

The underwater world is full of hidden secrets and colourful predators like the sea anemones who are the slowest moving creatures.

Have you ever noticed an ant in your home, only to find that a week later the whole colony has moved in? The traps you set up catch only a few of these ants, but soon, the rest of the colony has mysteriously disappeared. Now, a study published in the journal …

Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic organisms can convert the energy in light into the chemical energy for life. And now, thanks to a study published June 14 in Nature, we know that this organic ch…

Experimental physicists have observed a new state of matter called the chiral Bose-liquid state from frustrated quantum systems.

A team of researchers at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne have come up with an ingenious origami-inspired robot.

The "very rare" star explosion was so warped that it looked like multiple images in the sky.

Scientists have discovered a star that is in the process of crystallizing into a celestial diamond.

And it's not in a galaxy far, far away — it's right here.

The orbit of the newfound exoplanet spotted with TESS may have been influenced by another planet.

Efforts to retrieve an interstellar object at the bottom of the Pacific begin in the third installment of "Diary of an Interstellar Journey."

A new technique could aid Hubble Space Telescope users.

A white dwarf that's about 104 light years away is slowly crystallizing, a process that could take a quadrillion years.

In the mid-Proterozoic era, Earth's day length was equal to about 19 hours due to tidal phenomena. The day length was equal to about 19 hours for about one billion years.

The development of medicines for diseases like Alzheimer’s could be significantly influenced by a new artificial intelligence-based technology for detecting fluid flow around blood vessels in the brain.
