A team of astronomers has made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting molecular activity in comet C/2014 UN271 (Bernardinelli-Bernstein)—the largest and second most distantly active comet ever observed from the Oort Cloud.
A new research suggests that a shift in the Earth's magnetic poles around 41,000 years ago, known as the Laschamp event, may have contributed to the extinction of Neanderthals.
A NASA mission to observe the activity of the solar wind has returned its first images of giant coronal mass ejections (CMEs) billowing out from the Sun.
Bogong moths use star patterns, the Milky Way and Earth’s magnetic field to navigate during migration. They are the first-known invertebrates that navigate by starlight.
The FDA in U.S. has approved Yeztugo (lenacapvir), a twice-yearly injection to prevent HIV infection that could improve adherence rates compared to other PrEP medications and with minimal side effects.
Rising from Earth's core beneath Oman, the unusually elusive column of hot rock shows no surface volcanic activity, unlike typical plumes.
A Canadian study finds that the human brain emits a faint glow known as bio-photons, which vary with mental activity.
About 70,000 years ago Scholz's star passed through the Oort Cloud. It may have perturbed some comets from the Oort Cloud. But we won't know for a couple of million years because that's how long it would take for a comet to reach us.
Careful analysis of the animals revealed subsequent changes to protein production, gene activity, bacteria levels, and the microRNA coding inside cells.
ESA's Solar Orbiter deep-space probe has made history, returning the first-ever images of the Sun's south pole.
Gene expression, where cells use the genetic information encoded in DNA to produce proteins, has been thought of as a dimmer light.
Astronomers have created a galactic masterpiece: an ultra-detailed image that reveals previously unseen features in the Sculptor galaxy.
In a surprising twist during an air quality study in Oklahoma, researchers detected MCCPs an industrial pollutant never before measured in the Western Hemisphere.
Smashing atomic nuclei together at mind-bending speeds recreates the fiery conditions of the early universe and scientists are finally getting a better handle on what happens next.
Today, the European Space Agency's Proba-3 mission unveils its first images of the Sun's outer atmosphere - the solar corona.
