Scientists may have found the hiding place of missing cosmic sulfur—in icy space dust, bound in crown-shaped and chain-like molecules that escape detection. For years, scientists studying the ...

Thirteen years into its mission, Curiosity is smarter and more efficient than ever. New multitasking abilities, self-managed naps, and clever engineering fixes are keeping it powered and mobile as it ...

Planet could be a gas giant, orbiting 1 to 2 times the distance between Sun and Earth. The Alpha Centauri system, our nearest stellar neighbor, has long captured the imagination of science fiction and ...

Nicotine-free vape liquids caused skull changes in mice fetuses. Effects appeared with "safer" chemical ratios used in modern ...

A meteorite-born mineral with both crystal and glass traits has defied the known rules of heat conduction. Its constant heat flow, discovered through AI-driven research, could transform industries ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in quantum research by demonstrating that nanoparticles can exhibit quantum rotational vibrations even at room temperature — and without being cooled close to ...

Scientists have made the first-ever direct measurement of atomic temperatures in extreme materials, shattering a four-decade-old theory about how far solids can be superheated. Using a powerful laser ...

Madison have pinpointed a surprising flaw in how NASA tests its rovers on Earth. For decades, researchers adjusted rover weight to mimic lower gravity on the Moon or Mars, but they overlooked how ...

Scientists developed a safer non-stick surface using a unique “nanoscale fletching” design that repels grease like Teflon, without the toxic baggage.

A vaccine delivered through your gums using floss could revolutionize immunization by activating powerful mucosal defenses, without the need for needles or nasal sprays.

Hubble’s sharp gaze reveals NGC 45’s feathery arms and glowing star-forming regions. Far from an ordinary spiral, it’s a rare ...

Lunar Trailblazer was set to map the Moon’s water in unprecedented detail but was lost after a communications failure soon ...
