This composite image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows open cluster NGC 411, which is located in the Small Magellanic Cloud. Globular clusters are roughly…
Researchers from the University of St Andrews and the Institute of Scientific Instruments in the Czech Republic have discovered a technique that allows them to…
Astrophysicists at the University of Vermont have identified a pulsar that is able to quiet its radio waves while at the same time making its…
Findings related to the newly discovered ‘bird-dinosaur’ Eosinopteryx suggest that the origin of flight was much more complex than previously thought. The discovery of a…
By developing a method to reversibly control the crumpling and unfolding of large-area graphene sheets, researchers at Duke University were able to demonstrate that crumpled…
This new image from the APEX telescope in Chile shows the region around the reflection nebula NGC 1999 in visible light, with the APEX observations…
Using a brain-imaging tool developed for assessing neurological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, researchers at UCLA have identified the abnormal tau proteins associated with sports-related…
Astronomers from the Royal Astronomical Society suggest that two compact stellar remnants, such as black holes or neutron stars, collided and released a large gamma-ray…
New research from the University of Leicester suggests that processes similar to those that power Jupiter’s auroras could be responsible for radio emissions detected from…
A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows part of the Norma Cluster (Abell 3627), spiral galaxy ESO 137-002 and a dense area of…
Engineers at the University of Michigan have developed a nanoscale coating that can repel virtually any liquid, possibly leading to breathable protective wear for soldiers…
This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the Large Magellanic Cloud and the many star-forming regions within it. Nearly 200,000 light-years from Earth, the Large Magellanic…
According to a 14-year study, adult elephants in northern Kenya are more likely to die at the hands of humans than from natural causes. George…
A new image from the European Southern Observatory shows Lupus 3, a cloud that contains huge amounts of cool cosmic dust and a place where…
Astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have identified a new structure in the Milky Way: a long tendril of dust and gas that they…
In a new study, scientists found that older adults who drank at least four cups of diet soda a day were 31 percent more likely…
Yale physicists have taken a step forward in quantum computing by developing a new, non-destructive measurement system for observing, tracking and documenting all changes in…
