New Map Shows All the Matter in the Universe

Researchers found that there’s about six times as much dark matter in the universe as there is regular matter, a finding consistent with previous measurements.

Astronomers Find 25 Fast Radio Bursts That Keep Repeating

Of the over 1,000 FRBs detected to date, only 29 were identified as repeating. The nature of fast radio bursts is still unknown.

Incredible Footage Shows Planets Circling a Star Light-Years Away

The video shows four dots of light moving in partial concentric circles around a black disk at their center. What you're actually looking at is a planetary system.

Mars meteorite holds clues to chances of ancient life

A Martian meteorite that crashed in Morocco 11 years ago contains a vast diversity of organic compounds, which could help researchers discover if Mars could have hosted life and provide important clues about Earth's geological history.

Sitting in traffic for just 2 hours can lead to brain damage

A team at the University of British Columbia says brain scans show increased impairments in brain function after exposure to traffic pollution. In fact, signs of decreased brain function can start to appear in as little as two hours.

JWST Has Found Life's Building Blocks in The Depths of Space

In a molecular cloud called Chamaeleon I data from the telescope has revealed the presence of frozen carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur – elements vital to the formation of atmospheres and molecules.

Astronomers confirm age of most distant galaxy

The radio telescope array ALMA has pin-pointed the exact cosmic age of a distant JWST-identified galaxy, GHZ2/GLASS-z12, at 367 million years after the Big Bang. 

There's A 'Lost City' Deep In The Ocean

The Lost City Hydrothermal Field, which was found by researchers in 2000 and is located more than 700 metres below the surface, is the ocean’s longest-lasting venting environment. It is unique and has never been matched.

Mysterious 'Zone of Uncertainty' Inside The Brain

Recent tests show that the zone of uncertainty in the brain is encoding previous experiences in a special bidirectional way that hasn't been seen before. 

"Robot" made of shape-shifting matter liquefies to escape jail

Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could move and change shape to run obstacle courses, carry objects, or even escape from a jail.

Doomsday Clock hits 90 seconds to midnight

The people who run the clock say that’s largely a reflection of Russia’s war in Ukraine — including of the potential use of nuclear weapons and because the conflict is encouraging continued dependence on fossil fuels in Europe.

Earth's inner core may have stopped turning and could go into reverse

Chinese scientists say that based on their calculations, a small imbalance in the electromagnetic and gravitational forces could slow and even reverse the inner core’s rotation. 

New NASA Nuclear Rocket Plan

This new class of bimodal nuclear propulsion system uses a "wave rotor topping cycle" and could reduce transit times to Mars to just 45 days.

Ultra-processed foods may be linked to increased risk of cancer

Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods may be linked to an increased risk of developing and dying from cancer, an observational study suggests.

Education Seems to Protect The Gut

The team pooled data from 766,345 people that had been involved in genome-wide association studies and found correlation between factors like education and higher intelligence and lower risk of certain gut disorders.
