A New survey of fast-spinning pulsar stars offers a better estimate of when astronomers will first detect gravitational waves from merging supermassive black holes. Astronomers…
An international team of astronomers has studied the image of a distant galaxy, 6 billion light-years away from us, warped and stretched by strong gravitational…
Researchers at the University of Portsmouth have discovered fossils of the oldest mammals related to mankind on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset. The two teeth…
An asteroid, also known as the Chicxulub Impactor, hit Earth some 66 million years ago, causing a crater 180 km (112 miles) wide. The impact…
A group of astronomers in Brazilian universities and research institutions observed a star demoted to white dwarf status because of companion. A group of Brazilian…
A new study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health shows that manipulating mitochondrial networks inside cells — either by dietary restriction or…
This year’s ozone hole was similar in area to the hole in 1988, about 1 million miles smaller than in 2016. Although scientists predict the…
Planetary missions including Galileo, Cassini and Juno, and a number of spacecraft that orbit Earth, provide observations to create a comprehensive understanding of how planets…
Using NASA’s NuSTAR Space Telescope and the William Herschel Observatory, astronomers have been able to measure the distance that particles in jets travel before they…
Astronomers reveal that a small, recently discovered asteroid — or perhaps a comet — has entered our solar system from somewhere else in our galaxy….
Hubble has discovered a blistering hot planet outside our solar system where it “snows” titanium oxide on the planet’s permanent nighttime side. NASA’s Hubble Space…
New research shows that babies as old as only a few months are able to identify objects as ‘spiders’ or ‘snakes’ and respond to them….
By adding bits of irradiated plastic water bottles to concrete, MIT engineers take plastic out of landfills and lower the cement industry’s carbon emissions. Discarded…
MIT researchers have developed a synthetic gene circuit that triggers the body’s immune system to attack cancers when it detects signs of the disease. The…
NASA’s MAVEN Spacecraft reveals that Mars has an invisible magnetic “tail” that is twisted by interaction with the solar wind. NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile…
New research from NASA scientists is helping to refine our understanding of candidate planets beyond our solar system that might support life. “Using a model…
New research from NASA suggests that the solar wind creates a complex electrical environment around Phobos, giving its night side and shadowed craters a static…
