Atomic nuclei may be more complex than we thought, and may have implications for our understanding of the formation of heavy elements.
A new international study partially funded by NASA on how Mars got its iconic red color adds to evidence that Mars had a cool but wet and potentially habitable climate in its ancient past.
In everyday life, we typically encounter water in one of three familiar states – solid, liquid or gas. But there are in fact many more phases, some of which are so strange they’re referred to as exotic.
French scientists on Tuesday announced that they had reached a "crucial milestone" in the long road towards nuclear fusion by managing to maintain raging-hot plasma for a record 22 minutes.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists witnessed a brilliant light show at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy.
New measurements of rocks gathered during the Apollo missions now show it solidified some 4.43 billion years ago. It turns out that's about the time Earth became a habitable world.
