Astronomers are steadily uncovering a fascinating collection of exoplanets that echo Earth in size, rocky makeup, and tantalizing potential for habitability. These distant worlds circle far-off stars yet might possess the right ingredients—liquid water, stable…

Quantum systems may hide memory in unexpected ways.

Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” inside the nucleus that may shape how cancers survive and respond to treatment.

A new catalog of gravitational waves more than doubles the known number of these spacetime ripples

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and tracked two Russian TU-142 military aircraft operating in the Alaskan and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) on March 4,

A resurrected ancient enzyme is helping scientists test how reliably Earth’s oldest rocks record signs of life.

"This study marks the first successful attempt."

If they have no ancestors or descendants, then who are they?

While the human remains in the coffin were not those of an elite member of society (as they had once been thought to be), radiocarbon dating revealed that they were a hundred years older than assumed.

The copper and leather device represents the first evidence of mechanical tools from Egypt’s pre-Pharaonic history.

The 50-pound flashlight you've been waiting for.

Scientists are on a mission to bring the woolly mammoth back to life by using advanced genetic engineering, with the first mammoth-like calves expected by 2028.

Although the universe is expanding, over small scales, the force of gravity can win out and hold structures together.

The Alzheimer’s field is being turned on its head as mounting evidence points to the disease beginning outside the brain many years before symptoms start. This may mean we have to totally rethink how we approach preventing and treating the condition

Electrons in solar materials can be launched across molecules almost as fast as nature allows, thanks to tiny atomic vibrations acting like a “molecular catapult.” In experiments lasting just 18 femtoseconds, researchers at the University of Cambridge observed…

Researchers at the University of Basel and the ETH in Zurich have succeeded in changing the polarity of a special ferromagnet using a laser beam. In the future, this method could be used to create adaptable electronic circuits with light.

Is this the secret to their longevity?

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help shape those signals. Scientists discovered that tissue stiffness can trigger the production of guidance molecules through a force…

If Rivian reaches its R2 sales target in 2026, it will be one of the fastest ramp-ups ever of a new EV in the United States.

China uncovers massive gold deposit 2,000 meters deep that could rank among the world’s largest reserves.

This is super cool!
