The Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Array radio telescope combine to create this image of elliptical galaxy Hercules A, also known as 3C…
Scientists have discovered a quasar that is at least five times more powerful than any that has been observed to date. Data reveals that a…
A new vaccine strategy, which uses synthetic messenger RNA (mRNA) instead of proteins purified from viruses, could make flu shots cheaper, safer, and easier to…
A team of scientists working at the Large Hadron Collider found that in a sample of 2 million lead-proton collisions, some pairs of particles flew…
An international team of scientists has conclusively demonstrated a connection between white dwarf stars that fail to completely detonate and a class of oddly dim…
The most comprehensive assessment of ocean life has revealed that one-third to two-thirds of all species are still unknown to science. The scientists published their…
A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows spiral galaxy ESO 499-G37, which is located in the southern border of the constellation of Hydra….
A new tabletop experiment using a single photon was proposed to show whether space-time is made up of indivisible units. Space isn’t smooth, and physicists…
Mammography is routinely used to screen healthy women for breast cancer, and its use has led to the widespread detection and treatment of tumors that…
A newly published study takes a closer look at WASP-12 b, a planet that is being consumed by its own star. A planet roughly 1.4…
Researchers suggest that a small dose of methamphetamine, i.e. crystal meth, could reduce the replication of the human influenza virus. The scientists published their findings…
While Sherlock Holmes might have stated that the absence of any evidence is evidence itself, theoretical physicists haven’t yet been able to find any inkling…
Researchers have used pet dogs, with real injuries, to test a treatment that involved transplanting cells from the lining of the nose and injecting them…
