A team of scientists has proposed a powerful new test for inflation, the theory that the universe dramatically expanded in size in a fleeting fraction…
The Genetics of Regeneration When it comes to regeneration, some animals are capable of amazing feats. If you cut off a salamander’s leg, it will…
This fuzzy orb of light is a giant elliptical galaxy containing an incredible 200 billion stars. Unlike spiral galaxies, which have a well-defined structure and…
Astronomers at Yale and Caltech say that ‘Oumuamua, the much-discussed interstellar space rock, is best viewed as a comet with odd properties — and not…
Just as dust gathers in corners and along bookshelves in our homes, dust piles up in space too. But when the dust settles in the…
Engineers at MIT and Penn State University have found that under the right conditions, ordinary clear water droplets on a transparent surface can produce brilliant…
Some of the peculiar aspects of our solar system — an enveloping cloud of comets, dwarf planets in weird orbits and, if it truly exists,…
One of the key concepts in quantum physics is entanglement, in which two or more quantum systems become so inextricably linked that their collective state…
Scientists have reproduced in the lab how the ingredients for life could have formed deep in the ocean 4 billion years ago. The results of…
A compilation of scientific results from The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, reveals new clues to how stars form and galaxies evolve, and are…
TRAPPIST-1 is a system of seven Earth-sized worlds orbiting an ultra-cool dwarf star about 120 light-years away. The star, and hence its system of planets,…
The option to measure the gravitational waves of two merging neutron stars has offered the chance to answer some of the fundamental questions about the…
A new oviraptorosaur species from the Late Cretaceous was discovered in Mongolia, according to a study published on February 6, 2019 in the open-access journal…
The faint, ephemeral glow emanating from the planetary nebula ESO 577-24 persists for only a short time — around 10,000 years, a blink of an…
A black hole four million times as massive as our Sun lurks at the center of the Milky Way. This black hole, called Sagittarius A*…
The universe is about 13.8 billion years old, and its stars are arguably its most momentous handiwork. Astronomers studying the intricacies of star formation across…
Using new data from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft, researchers believe they have solved a longstanding mystery of solar system science: the length of a day on…
