Researchers have identified a distinctive ultraviolet signature of water in the interstellar comet known as 3I/ATLAS.

"The forces that are needed to dislodge such a massive black hole from its home are enormous."

Ramanujan’s insights into pi are now guiding scientists toward a deeper understanding of how the universe works.

A joint research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and the Unmanned Exploration Laboratory (UEL) has developed a transformative wheel capable of navigating the moon's most extreme terrains, including steep lunar pits and…

Trending News: A surprising expedition reveals sharks thriving in the hostile environment of Kavachi, a highly active underwater volcano. Explore the challenges and implications of this unexpected finding.

Researchers found that lab mice that were released into a large, enclosed field were almost immediately less anxious.

Electrons determine everything: how chemical reactions unfold, how materials conduct electricity, how biological molecules transfer energy, and how quantum technologies operate. But electron dynamics happens on attosecond timescales—far too fast for conventio…

The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's HiRISE camera just notched a big milestone.

HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK - Scientists say the onset of the next high lava fountaining episode is likely to occur between December 22 and 27.

NASA is working with commercial partners to create high-performing, reliable propulsion systems that will help small spacecraft safely maneuver in orbit,

Researchers from the University of the Witwatersrand in South Africa, in collaboration with Huzhou University, discovered that the entanglement workhorse of most quantum optics laboratories can have hidden topologies, reporting the highest ever observed in an…

Scientists say they now know where the 'Beachy Head Lady', an ancient skeleton, actually came from.

Scientists uncover evidence that all life on Earth traces back to a single ancestor, dating back 4.2 billion years, far earlier than previously thought.

A new study reveals the likely origin of a mysterious spider-like pattern first spotted on Jupiter's moon Europa in 1998. The finding could have implications...

The 4D Nucleome Project demonstrates the use of genomic assays and computational methods to measure genome folding and then predict genomic structure from DNA sequence, facilitating the discovery of potential effects of genetic variants, i…

Scanning tunnelling microscopy is used to image pristine electrostatically defined quantum Hall edge states in graphene with high spatial resolution and demonstrate their interaction-driven restructuring.

: Spacecraft was 'rotating in an unexpected manner' and might have shifted orbit

The Cassini probe took its final orbits, referred to as the Grand Finale Orbits (GFOs), in 2017, before launching itself into Saturn's atmosphere. During these GFOs, the probe collected samples of dust above and below Saturn's rings for analysis with its Cosm…

Trends in global H2 sources and sinks are analysed from 1990 to 2020, and a comprehensive budget for the decade 2010–2020 is presented.

A detailed spatiotemporal roadmap of the human female and male reproductive tracts during key periods of sexual differentiation provides new cellular and molecular insights into how early axial gradients lead to specific cell lineages and tissue structures.

A key discovery from NASA’s Cassini mission in 2008 was that Saturn’s largest moon Titan may have a vast water ocean below its hydrocarbon-rich surface. But

A long-standing physics mystery has been solved with the discovery of emergent photon-like behavior inside a strange quantum material. The finding confirms a true 3D quantum spin liquid and unlocks a new way to study deeply entangled matter.

One of the best visualizations ever produced of the spectrum of light from our glorious Sun reveals some mysterious holes in its array of colors.
