In search of the ideal bacteria for use in a microbial fuel cell, researchers from MIT have developed a new microfluid device to quickly sort…
This newly released Cassini image shows Saturn’s moons Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas. Three of Saturn’s moons — Tethys, Enceladus, and Mimas — are captured in…
This newly released Hubble image shows Wolf–Rayet star WR 31a. Sparkling at the center of this beautiful NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is a Wolf–Rayet…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has measured the rotation rate of an extreme exoplanet by observing the varied brightness in its…
Surrounded by dust, this new Hubble image shows the young forming star known as HBC 1. The star is in an immature and adolescent phase…
New images from the New Horizons Spacecraft suggest that Pluto’s moon Charon once had a subsurface ocean that has long since frozen and expanded, pushing…
Researchers from the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics generated for the first time visible flashes of light in attosecond dimensions. They dispatched the light-flashes to electrons…
Astronomers have discovered a binary star system where, every 69 years, the sun disappears in a near-total eclipse that lasts for three and a half…
A new imaging system developed at the MIT Media Lab uses an open-ended bundle of optical fibers — no lenses, or protective housing needed. The…
Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have discovered a jet from a very distant black hole, called B3 0727+409. The light from this jet was…
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers reveal that exoplanet 55 Cancri e has a dry atmosphere without any indications of water vapor. For the first…
In a newly published study, MIT neuroscientists reveal how they identified a brain region that represents the feelings of loneliness. Humans, like all social animals,…
In this newly released Cassini spacecraft image, Dione appears cut in two by Saturn’s razor-thin rings. This scene was captured from just 0.02 degrees above…
The Dark Energy Survey has already discovered more than 1,000 supernovae and mapped millions of galaxies to help us understand the accelerating expansion of our…
