For The First Time, Scientists Capture The Protein-Lipid Dance on Video

Scientists for the first time captured the dance between proteins and fats as they would normally move in cells.

Diamonds can be grown in a lab in less than 3 hours

While natural diamonds take billions of years to form, lab-grown diamonds can be produced quickly and at a fraction of the cost.

Bioluminescence Evolved in The Abyss 540 Million Years Ago

Scientists have traced bioluminescence to its earliest known evolutionary origins: a class of corals called Octocorallia in the depths of the ocean in the Cambrian, some 540 million years ago. 

NASA hears from Voyager 1 after months of quiet

The most distant spacecraft from Earth stopped sending back understandable data last November. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory declared success after receiving good engineering updates late last week. 

NASA's Juno Gives Aerial Views of Mountain, Lava Lake on Io

Imagery from the solar-powered spacecraft provides close-ups of intriguing features on the hellish Jovian moon.

A 'Perfect Tidal Storm' Is Making This Newly Discovered Planet Glow

Exoplanet TOI-6713.01 experiences 10 million times more tidal energy than Io, resulting in a 2,300 degrees Celsius surface temperature. This means the planet literally glows at optical wavelengths.

Asteroid Kamo'oalewa could have been blasted from our moon

469219 Kamo’oalewa as a near-Earth asteroid and a quasi-satellite to Earth. However, in 2021, astronomers using spectroscopy revealed that Kamo’oalewa might in fact be a piece of the moon. 

From California to China, excessive water use is collapsing the ground

A recent study analyzed dozens of Chinese cities, revealing that they're slowly sinking. From California to Greece, human activity is making the land under our feet more prone to subsiding than ever.

In search for alien life, purple may be the new green

Purple bacteria is one of the primary contenders for life that could dominate a variety of Earth-like planets orbiting different stars, and would produce a distinctive "light fingerprint," Cornell scientists report.

Physicists Think The Infinite Size of The Multiverse Could Be Infinitely Bigger

Not only does God play dice, that great big casino of quantum physics could have far more rooms than we ever imagined. An infinite number more, in fact.

Life on early Earth could have been seeded by comets, meteorites

A new study aimed at answering the latter question finds that some building blocks didn’t need to have formed on Earth, but could have arrived from space.

Researchers create stable superconductor enhanced by magnetism

An international team of researchers has succeeded in creating a special state of superconductivity. This discovery could advance the development of quantum computers. 

Venus' atmosphere is leaking gases into space

BepiColombo made two flybys of Venus on its journey to Mercury. The spacecraft found carbon and oxygen escaping into space in a previously unexplored region of Venus’ magnetosphere. 

Mysterious force moves the Ross Ice Shelf in Antarctica every day

Antarctica’s Ross Ice Shelf, a massive floating ice platform about the size of France, shifts suddenly a few centimeters at least once a day.

Major First: Quantum Information Produced, Stored, And Retrieved

The potential of quantum computing is immense, but the distances over which entangled particles can reliably carry information remains a massive hurdle.
