Scientists uncover secrets of lunar volcanic activity from ancient glass beads collected during Apollo missions, revealing the Moon's fiery history.
Floating serenely amid the pale ice chunks in the Labrador Sea was one iceberg that appeared as black as soot.
Every single human on this planet is as distinct as a snowflake; a combination of traits and genes and microbes that, as far as we can tell, is not replicated exactly in any other single human.
Humpback whales were observed blowing bubble rings near humans. This rare behavior may reflect playfulness, curiosity, or communication.
A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide.
It's hard to imagine something as big as the Universe not having a center at all, but physics says that's the reality.
The study suggests that emperor penguins, iconic residents of Antarctica, need to be uplisted to threatened on IUCN Red List.
Scientists have observed yet another type of magnetism for the first time within a lab-made crystal, promising to drive improvements in efficiency and speed in electronics as well as open new areas to explore in fundamental physics.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have captured breathtakingly detailed images of two giant exoplanets orbiting a distant sun-like star.
The Wallace Line divides species in Southeast Asia. A deep ocean trench prevents animal migration. Even flying birds rarely cross it.
IBM released its plans for building a system that should push quantum computing into entirely new territory: a system that can both perform useful calculations while catching and fixing errors.
A study found that ocean acidification—the process in which the world’s oceans absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, becoming more acidic—crossed a “planetary boundary” five years ago.
China is going full Jules Verne as it prepares to go where no drill has gone before. As part of its Deep Ocean Drilling Program, the special-built Meng Xiang ("Dream") drill ship is gearing up for a multi-year effort to pierce the Earth's crust.
Dark matter affects how stars move within galaxies, how galaxies build up over time, and how everything in the universe is held together - but no existing tool has directly detected it. While dark matter does not reflect, absorb, or emit light, it can still be indirectly observed by telescopes.
Physicists from the Muon g-2 experiment have released their third measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly.
