It's NICER.

Small commercial landings could occur as soon as next year

A new artificial intelligence created by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology pulls off a staggering feat: by analyzing only a short audio clip of a person's voice, it reconstructs what they might look like in real life.

Curiosity is one busy rover. Since touching down on Mars in 2012, it's helped astronomers locate the planet's missing methane, delivered new evidence that Mars was once wet, and even provided clues of extraterrestrial life.

Imagine a simple and effective treatment for restoring the sense of smell in people who have lost it or never had it in the first place – that could one day be possible as a result of early stage research on mice, in which olfactory nerves were r

Clay is a big deal on Mars because it often forms in contact with water. Find clay, and you've usually found evidence of water. And the nature, history, and current water budget on Mars are all important to understanding that planet, and if it ever

A doomsday ending to climate change is not inevitable, but the situation is becoming ever more desperate. Without immediate and drastic action, reminiscent of efforts during World War II, a new analysis predicts that by 2050, climate change could b

New results from the Large Hadron Collider have confirmed it. The mysterious five-quark subatomic particle - the pentaquark, only discovered a few years ago - really is composed of two sets of quarks.

NASA has announced that it is opening the International Space Station up to private business, including astronauts who will pay $35,000 a night to visit

A colossal magnetic field stretching between two clusters of galaxies has been observed for the first time. Roughly a billion light-years away, the 'bridge' of radio-emitting plasma spans 10 million light-years, following a filament in the mysterio

Solar panels are fantastic pieces of technology, but we need to work out how to make them even more efficient – and scientists just solved a 40-year-old mystery around one of the key obstacles to increased efficiency.

As tall as the towers of London Bridge, New Delhi's Ghazipur landfill continues to grow at a startling pace. Within a year, it is set to rise higher than the Taj Mahal, one of the country's most iconic monuments.

You know how stars do. They're out there, doing their thing, fusing a whole bunch of hydrogen into helium, shining up the joint.

In July last year, the American Red Cross declared an emergency blood shortage - it simply wasn't receiving enough donations to help all the patients that needed blood.

A team of scientists from the University of Arkansas have successfully tested a laser that can track down cancer cells and kill them - all from outside the skin.

Antlia 2, the "ghost of a galaxy" orbiting the Milky Way, is a dark horse in more ways than one. Not only is it so faint it was only just discovered last year, it may now be responsible for curious ripples in the hydrogen gas that makes up the Milk

We don't know what we're dealing with.

In its final year, Cassini plunged where no spacecraft had plunged before, down in the space between Saturn and its rings. Again and again it dove, for a total of 22 orbits. In the data collecting during those breakneck dives, astronomers have just

Alpha Centauri is the closest star system to us, at 4.37 light-years (about 25 trillion miles) away. In 2016, astronomers discovered an exoplanet orbiting one of the three stars in the Alpha Centauri system.
