Severe drought in Brazil has caused river levels to plummet, revealing rock carvings of human faces made up to 2,000 years ago.
Record concentrations of a helium isotope found inside 62-million-year-old Arctic rocks could be the most compelling evidence to date of a slow leak in our planet's core.
A recent study examines the discovery of what astronomers are dubbing "ultra-fast radio bursts", a new type of fast radio bursts (FRBs) that the team determined lasts for a mind-boggling ten millionths of a second or less.
Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, known as the Devil Comet for its distinctive "horns," is fast approaching. Here
Crystals brought back from the Moon by Apollo astronauts in 1972 push back the age of the moon by 40 million years, to at least 4.46 billion years old.
The universe is flooded with billions of chemicals and we’ve only identified 1% of them. Scientists believe undiscovered chemical compounds could help remove greenhouse gases or trigger a medical breakthrough much like penicillin did.
Solar power (also known as photovoltaics, or PV) is likely to become the dominant power source worldwide by 2050, according to a new study.
Astronomers have detected silica in exoplanet atmospheres before. But this is the first time they’ve found particles of what appears to be pure quartz.
So-called chorus waves have been recorded at Earth, and Jupiter, and Saturn; and observed at Uranus and Neptune. Now, international scientists have detected them whistling around Mercury.
For the first time, artificial intelligence (AI) has searched for, detected, confirmed, classified, and announced a supernova discovery without any human intervention.
Fast radio bursts, or FRBs, are an astronomical mystery, with their exact cause and origins still unconfirmed. A recent research found several notable similarities between FRBs and earthquakes.
Superionic ice is strangely different, and yet it may be among the most abundant forms of water in the Universe – presumed to fill not only the interiors of Uranus, Neptune, but also similar exoplanets.
Researchers were caught by surprise when they observed what they believe to be the aftermath of two giant planets colliding.
A distant lump of space rock may have a surprising amount in common with the core of our own planet.
Newfound evidence indicates that conscious experiences start as early as in late pregnancy. The study suggests that an infant’s brain is capable of forming conscious experiences that shape their emergent self.
