An international team of astronomers has detected seven fast-moving stars in Omega Centauri region. These stars provide compelling new evidence for the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole.
By the end of the century, tens to hundreds of millions could be deprived of even this tenuous supply of moisture as rising temperatures risk turning shallow groundwater supplies into toxic sumps.
According to data from the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes, the origins of the free-flying photons in the early cosmic dawn were small dwarf galaxies that flared to life, clearing the fog of murky hydrogen that filled intergalactic space.
Researchers at the University of Montreal believe a vast ocean on exoplanet LHS 1140 b may be teeming with alien life.
Scientists have uncovered a new source of hazardous "forever chemical" pollution: the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries found in most electric vehicles.
Hidden deep in southern Venezuela, archaeologists have uncovered glyphs, pictograms, and other symbols, left behind thousands of years ago, at around 20 different sites, carved and painted in caves and on boulders.
New research provides the clearest evidence yet that the Cambrian explosion - a rapid burst of evolution 540 million years ago, could have been triggered by only a small increase in oxygen levels in Earth's atmosphere and shallow ocean waters.
Martin Vargic illustrated more than 1,100 exoplanets based on astronomical discoveries. His art is a attempt to artistically visualize and compare thousands of exoplanets of all types and sizes according to observational data.
A team of researchers has uncovered evidence of its origins in the atmosphere, where carbon dioxide bathed in ultraviolet sunlight reacted to form a mist of carbon molecules that rained onto the planet's surface.
Scientists have identified a unique form of cell messaging occurring in the human brain, revealing just how much we still have to learn about its mysterious inner workings.
james Webb Space Telescope continues to revolutionise astronomy - it now shows the birth of a star. The star is named L1527, and at this young age, it's still ensconced in the molecular cloud that spawned it.
Researchers have found a way to bind engineered skin tissue to the complex forms of humanoid robots. This brings with it potential benefits to robotic platforms such as increased mobility, self-healing abilities, etc.
Every few thousand years, the Sun unleashes a burst of high-energy particles that can have serious consequences for life on Earth.
A recent study has shed new light on this topic, pointing the finger more directly at human activity as the major cause of this mass extinction.
Speeding up a camera shutter a million million times enables researchers to understand how materials move heat around and is a major step in advancing sustainable energy applications.
