The James Web Space Telescope (JWST) is once again providing scientists around the world with never-before-seen discoveries about how the universe works. A team of researchers from...
Researchers discovered only relatively recently that black hole jets emit X-rays, and how the jets accelerate particles to this high-energy state is still a mystery. Surprising new findings in Nature Astronomy appear to rule out one leading theory, opening th…
Flight controllers at ESA's mission control center in Germany have been busy this week, working with instrument teams on the final deployments to prepare ESA's Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) for exploring Jupiter.
A new study has shown that humans may have evolved a spring-like arch to help us walk on two feet. Researchers studying the evolution of bipedal walking have long assumed that the raised arch of the foot helps us walk by acting as a lever which propels the bo…
Scientists have been peering into the depths of space, looking right back at the early days of the universe, and they’ve found something very interesting indeed. Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope have come across a discovery that indicates some…
For physicists, particle decay is an event that happens all the time, but to catch signs of its passing, even so, that of a Higgs boson decay is roughly a one-in-a-thousand event.
Colon cancer develops from polyps in your colon's inner lining. Researchers have found a new possible cause for increase in this cancer in young people in the US.
Extensive research has helped identify risk factors for acute stroke, but there is still a lack of information of what stroke patients' brains look like on a population level, according to a study.
China sent three astronauts to its Tiangong space station on Tuesday, putting a civilian into orbit for the first time as it pursues plans to send a crewed mission to the Moon by the end of the decade.
University of Florida astronomers find that hundreds of millions of planets orbiting dwarf stars in the Milky Way could potentially harbor life, occupying a 'Goldilocks' orbit that allows them to withstand extreme tidal forces and retain liquid water, accordi…
