Breakthrough in Study of Mysterious Antikythera Mechanism

Researchers say they've used cutting-edge gravitational wave research to shed new light on a nearly 2,000-year-old mystery.

NASA Probe Spies Plumes Above Jupiter Moon's Lava Lakes

From around 2,400 miles away, the probe’s Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument “revealed that the whole surface of Io is covered by lava lakes contained in caldera-like features.

Brains of The Living And The Dead Don't Read Key Genes in The Same Way

A comparison of post-mortem brain tissue and samples taken from living patients has revealed for the first time significant differences in the way strands of RNA are modified.

Most Precise Atomic Clock Ever Built Will Only Lose a Second Every 30 Billion Years

The device, which traps thousands of atoms to keep time, is "pushing the boundaries of what's possible with timekeeping."

Missing Dwarf Galaxies Found Near The Milky Way in The Worst Place

The two new satellites, named Virgo III and Sextans II, were discovered in a region of space already crowded with more dwarf galaxies than models of dark matter predict.

Alphabet Soup: NASA's GOLD Finds Surprising C, X Shapes in Atmosphere

NASA's Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission has revealed unexpected C- and X-shaped formations in an electrified layer of gas high above our heads called the ionosphere.

Hurricane Beryl breaks records in devastating path across the Caribbean

The hurricane has set a string of records that experts say are tied to climate change, as it developed faster and much earlier in the year.

Time Crystals Could be the Circuit Boards of Future Quantum Computers

Researchers say that time crystals could one day become a core component in the construction of quantum computers.

This Mysterious Black Hole at The Dawn of Time Weighs a Billion Suns

A black hole discovered lurking in the Cosmic Dawn is just way too big to easily explain.

Most extreme wildfires rising due to climate change

The climate crisis is driving an exponential rise in the most extreme wildfires in key regions around the world, research has revealed.

The Shape of The Solar System Has Changed Dramatically

The shape of the Solar System was once a little more on the doughy side. Before it arranged itself into a flattened disk, the distribution of dust and rocks had more in common with a donut than a pancake. 

James Webb Observes Mysterious Structures Above Jupiter's Great Red Spot

The glow above the Great Red Spot on Jupiter has recently been discovered and the researchers suspect that something else altogether is causing it  - powerful gravitational interactions rarely seen on Earth.

"Time cells" in the brain act like a stopwatch for complex tasks

Researchers found that time cells in the brain are crucial for learning complex tasks, acting like a personalized time code.

Scientists Have a Radical Plan to Pump Carbon to The Bottom of The Ocean

A major solution to the climate crisis may lie at the bottom of the ocean. Across the planet, basalt rock deposits on the sea floor have the potential to trap carbon dioxide, removing the heat-trapping gas from our atmosphere.

New class of Mars quakes reveals daily meteorite strikes

An international team of researchers combine orbital imagery with seismological data from NASA’s Mars InSight lander to derive a new impact rate for meteorite strikes on Mars.
