An international study found that certain groupings of iron atoms in the Earth’s inner core are able to move about rapidly, changing their places in a split second while maintaining the underlying metallic structure of the iron.
Among the most striking geologic features on the surface of Arrokoth is the ensemble of large, broadly similarly sized mound-like features seen on the larger lobe.
A very rare, strange burst of extraordinarily bright light in the universe just got even stranger. The phenomenon, called a Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient (LFBOT), flashed onto the scene where it wasn't expected to be found.
Sunlight on Mars interacts with iron-rich dust that hangs in the atmosphere. This ultimately scatters lower-frequency red light through the sky during the day. At twilight, however, the red light is filtered away and the sky glows a cool blue.
A powerful laser was able to deflect a lightning bolt almost 200 feet before it hit a lightning rod, greatly improving the rod's function.
An international team of researchers has developed a new theoretical framework that bridges physics and biology to provide a unified approach for understanding how complexity and evolution emerge in nature.
Resent studies question the evolution of the Moon magnetic field thanks to its demonstration of the existence of the inner core.
Acurding to a recent reserch, every species of mammal they examined emitted a green, blue, pink, or white hue under UV light.
in the Trapezium cluster, scientists have found dozens of planet-like objects roughly the mass of Jupiter untethered to any star, drifting through the galaxy in gravitationally-bound pairs.
US authorities have issued the first-ever fine for space debris to a TV company that failed to properly dispose of a satellite. The company was fined €142,440 for "failing to properly deorbit" a satellite named EchoStar-7.
The ozone hole over Antarctica is one of the biggest on record, roughly three times the size of Brazil. It's a natural phenomenon, but scientists are concerned climate change could begin reopening ozone holes.
More than 300 forest and peatland fires are blazing across Indonesia, prompting government officials to ask people to work from home. A prolonged dry season has caused higher risks of wildfires.
Solving the mystery of how planets like Earth were formed is an important question for understanding the origin of life.
A similar solar storm today would be catastrophic for modern technological society—potentially wiping out telecommunications and satellite systems, causing massive electricity grid blackouts, and costing us billions of pounds.
A Spanish company launched the country's first private rocket on Saturday in a step towards bringing Spain into the exclusive club of space-faring nations.
