NASA and SpaceX continue to review launch and return opportunities for the upcoming crew rotation flights to and from the International Space Station as part…
Scientists have spent decades searching for faster, more energy-efficient memory technologies for everything from large data centers to mobile sensors and other flexible electronics. Among…
Evidence preserved in glaciers provides continuous climate and vegetation records during major historical events. Europe’s past prosperity and failure, driven by climate changes, has been…
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain. In the past few years, artificial intelligence models…
Nearly two years since becoming a global pandemic that has killed millions of people, the mystery of which proteins in the SARS-CoV-2 virus are responsible…
A new discovery is shedding light on how fluorine — an element found in our bones and teeth as fluoride — is forged in the…
Depending on the outcome of social conflicts, ants of the species Harpegnathos saltator do something unusual: they can switch from a worker to a queen-like status known…
A team of physicists has discovered how DNA molecules self-organize into adhesive patches between particles in response to assembly instructions. Its findings offer a “proof…
Research on whale feeding highlights how the precipitous decline of large marine mammals has negatively impacted the health and productivity of ocean ecosystems. From 1910…
We’ve been driving on Mars since 1997, beginning with the 83 sol Sojourner rover mission. Since 2003 with the arrival of the Spirit and Opportunity…
Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light, and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar…
A new astrogeology study suggests that most nearby rocky exoplanets are quite unlike anything in our Solar System. An astronomer from NSF’s NOIRLab has teamed…
Ballyhooed artificial-intelligence technique known as “deep learning” revives 70-year-old idea. In the past 10 years, the best-performing artificial-intelligence systems — such as the speech recognizers…
Now that NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has safely arrived at its launch site in French Guiana, on the northeastern coast of South America, technical…
New mirror coatings will increase the volume of space LIGO can probe in its next run. Since LIGO’s groundbreaking detection, in 2015, of gravitational waves…
A computer network closely modeled on part of the human brain is enabling new insights into the way our brains process moving images — and…
Experts argue COVID passes could stop another lockdown or pose threats such as segregation and ongoing surveillance. COVID passes and vaccine passports may promise the…
