A combination of cosmic processes shapes the formation of one of the most common types of planets outside of our solar system, according to a new study.
Astronomers using the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have captured coronagraphic images of the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani planetary systems.
New research suggests black holes may transition into 'white holes', ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these cosmic giants.
The mineral content of oddly pale rocks found in Jezero Crater can only have formed under very warm, very soggy conditions – suggesting that, long ago, Mars may have been a lot more peculiar than we ever suspected.
In this incredible image, we can see the unrestrained energy of two young stars about 650 light-years away as their energetic jets create a distinct hourglass shape with clumps and swirls of gas and dust.
Simply looking at nature - or even just digital pictures of it - can relieve pain, according to new research which scanned the brains of people receiving electrical shocks.
Microplastics are silently sabotaging the planet's greenery, curbing photosynthesis, and threatening food security.
Recent research proposes a new form of dark matter that may actually be lighter in mass than other dark matter candidates.
A small international team of nanotechnologists, engineers and physicists has developed a way to force laser light into becoming a supersolid.
Global sea level rose faster than expected in 2024, mostly because of ocean water expanding as it warms, or thermal expansion.
ESA's Hera mission for planetary defence made the first use of its payload for scientific purposes beyond Earth and the Moon. Activating a trio of instruments, Hera imaged the surface of the red planet as well as the face of Deimos.
A New South Wales man with heart failure lived with the artificial heart for over 100 days while waiting to be matched with a heart donor.
Exciting new research suggests there are four miniature planets orbiting Barnard's Star, each thought to be just 20 to 30% the mass of Earth.
At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests.
Around 1,645 light-years from Earth sits a binary star system, containing a white dwarf and a red dwarf on such a close orbit that each revolution smacks their magnetic fields together, producing a burst of radio waves.
