Research from Yale University reveals that a new drug can restore memories and connections between brain cells in mice with a model of Alzheimer’s disease….
Astronomers view a primitive galaxy that is about to be consumed by a gigantic neighboring galaxy. The discovery could provide clues about the early Universe….
A new multi-wavelength study of a pair of colliding galaxies has revealed the cause of a supermassive black hole’s case of “indigestion.” The new research…
NASA’s Juno Spacecraft will fly directly over Jupiter’s Great Red Spot on July 10th, helping astronomers better understand how this giant storm works and what…
This Hubble image of the week shows “Hidden Galaxy” IC 342, which is located 11 million light-years away. IC 342 is a challenging cosmic target….
Chandra reveals that the X-ray emission from Pluto is as strong as that coming from solar system objects with much more substantial atmospheres. Pluto is…
Using graphene, researchers from MIT have developed a dialysis membrane material that can filter nanometer-sized molecules at 10 to 100 times the rate of commercial…
This fun image from NASA’s Juno Spacecraft shows the “face” of Jupiter. JunoCam images aren’t just for art and science – sometimes they are processed…
Using the Pleiades supercomputer, NASA scientists are simulating asteroid impacts to help identify possible life-threatening events. When an asteroid struck the Russian city of Chelyabinsk…
A team of scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics reveal that hidden dimensions – as predicted by string theory – could influence…
This newly released montage of views from the Cassini Spacecraft shows three of Saturn’s small ring moons: Atlas, Daphnis, and Pan at the same scale…
Researchers from Yale University have identified natural design principles in photosynthesis that could improve energy efficiency in new solar technology. In photosynthesis, green plants use…
In a newly published study, researchers from Stockholm University detail the discovery that water can exist as two different liquids at low temperatures. We normally…
Using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a team of astronomers has made the first detection of orbital motion in a pair of supermassive black…
Our sun is heading toward solar minimum. Sunspot counts were relatively high in 2014, and now they are sliding toward a low point expected in…
Researchers from MIT and Stanford have developed a way to label neurons when they become active, essentially providing a snapshot of their activity at a…
NASA’s Opportunity Mars Rover examines rocks at the edge of Endeavour Crater for signs that they may have been either transported by a flood or…
