Lunar caves are not only a geologically pristine record of the Moon’s history, but they could also provide a safe home for future human explorers….
One afternoon, a dozen Arizona State University students gathered to spend the morning cutting cardboard, taping fans, and assembling filters in an effort to build…
Scientists shave ‘hairs’ off nanocrystals to improve their electronic properties. Breakthrough by UChicago chemists could yield future devices such as next-gen displays and solar cells….
What Are Gravitational Waves? Gravitational waves are distortions in spacetime that result from the movements of objects with mass. Gravitational waves are not simple conceptually,…
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission takes us over Carrara – an Italian city known especially for its world-famous marble. Carrara lies along the Carrione River, in…
The newest photographs from the Solar Orbiter reveal unprecedented detail of the whole Sun. They were taken on March 7, 2022, when the spacecraft passed…
A city-sized collapsed star has generated a beam of matter and antimatter that stretches for trillions of miles. Data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory revealed…
Cedars-Sinai researchers discover neurons that separate experience into segments, then help the brain ‘time travel’ and remember. In a study led by Cedars-Sinai, researchers have…
Like a time capsule that was sealed for posterity, one of the last unopened Apollo-era lunar samples collected during Apollo 17 has been opened under…
The result may open doors to several lines of research in particle physics and beyond. A hybrid matter–antimatter helium atom containing an antiproton, the proton’s…
A Johns Hopkins Children’s Center-led study in mice and lab-grown cells finds sulforaphane could help prevent and treat illnesses caused by certain coronaviruses, including COVID-19….
While telescope alignment continues, Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is still in cooldown mode. MIRI, which will be the coldest of Webb’s four instruments, is the…
In just three days in late January, a mass of ice the size of Philadelphia fragmented from the Larsen-B embayment on the Antarctic Peninsula and…
Researchers have used sound waves to turn stem cells into bone cells, in a tissue engineering advance that could one day help patients regrow bone…
NASA astronaut Mark Vande Hei and two Roscosmos cosmonauts are scheduled to end their mission aboard the International Space Station and return to Earth on…
The SPHEREx mission will have some similarities with the James Webb Space Telescope. But the two observatories will take dramatically different approaches to studying the…
Study adds more certainty to theory involving information paradox. Black holes really are giant fuzzballs, a new study says. The study attempts to put to…
