Cumulative heat stress changes our epigenetics – how our cells turn on or off gene switches in response to environmental pressure. Longer periods of extreme heat accelerated ageing in older people by more than two years.
Hundreds of millions of years ago, rocks crushed under kilometres of ice injected vital nutrients into Earth's oceans.
When you look around the Universe you live in, it looks like a 3D space, just like the surface of the Earth looks like a 2D space. However, just like the Earth, if you were to look at the Universe as a whole, it could be a more complicated space.
Firefly’s Blue Ghost lunar lander softly touched down in Mare Crisium carrying 10 NASA instruments.
The team put graphite under an intense amount of pressure, before heating it to 1,800 K. The newly produced diamond has a hardness of 155 gigapascals (GPa). Natural diamond, by comparison, tops out at around 110 GPa in hardness.
In 2007, astronomers discovered the Cosmic Horseshoe, a gravitationally lensed system of galaxies. New research reveals the presence of an Ultra-Massive Black Hole in the foreground galaxy with a staggering 36 billion solar masses.
Data from Chinese Zhurong rover provide an unprecedented look into rocks buried near a proposed shoreline billions of years old. The researchers claim to have found beach deposits from an ancient Martian ocean.
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.
Ice loss from the world's glaciers has accelerated over the past decade, scientists said on Wednesday, warning that melting may be faster than previously expected in the coming years and drive sea levels higher.
A pod of 157 dolphins has become stranded on a remote beach in Tasmania, with dozens already dead and efforts underway to save the survivors.
