A black hole deep in the cosmos, some 5 billion light-years away, could be the most massive ever found.
A team of researchers proposes a new vision of the Universe's first moments. Their model eliminates the need for traditional speculative hypotheses.
A surprising new study has found that under the right circumstances, cosmic radiation could actually make uninhabitable worlds habitable.
How we get supermassive black holes is a huge mystery.
We are entering the third phase of generative AI. First came the chatbots, followed by the assistants. Now we are beginning to see agents.
In recent times, tire wear particles have been found to account for about 45% of all microplastics in both terrestrial and aquatic systems.
A pair of galaxies whose light has traveled for 8.3 billion years contains what astronomers believe is a supermassive black hole in the act of forming.
Right before they die as supernovae, the universe's most massive stars violently shed their outer hydrogen layers, leaving their heavy cores exposed.
A new study has found the first experimental evidence that the compound can increase longevity and fight signs of aging.
The speed and trajectory of 3I/ATLAS suggest that it comes from the thick disk of the Milky Way, the puffy region around the thin disk wherein just 15 percent of the galaxy's stellar mass resides.
An international team of scientists has sequenced the whole genome from an adult male Egyptian who lived between over 4,500 years ago - a few centuries after Egyptian unification, bridging the Early Dynastic and Old Kingdom periods.
As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft traveled through the Kuiper Belt at a distance of more than 5.5 billion ml from Earth, an international team of astronomers conducted the first-ever successful demonstration of deep space stellar navigation.
While temperatures soar within decades, tree populations take 100 to 200 years to shift in response. A sweeping new analysis of ancient pollen and modern data reveals this dramatic lag - and its consequences.
A cutting-edge gene therapy has significantly restored hearing in children and adults with congenital deafness, showing dramatic results just one month after a single injection.
Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in physics: string theory.
