The puzzle of the galaxy with no dark matter

International research has found the first evidence of a massive galaxy with no dark matter. The result is a challenge to the current standard model of cosmology.

World's largest wind turbine is now fully operational and connected

The world's first 16-megawatt monster offshore wind turbine is now connected to the power grid. This towering colossus will supply clean energy for about 36,000 Chinese homes.

Scientists invent self-healing solar panels with "miracle material"

Australian scientists have invented a next-generation solar panel capable of healing itself when damaged in space. 

Greenland ancient ice melting shows high risk of sea level rise today

An international team of scientists was amazed to discover that Greenland was a green land only 416,000 years ago. Much of the Greenland ice sheet vanished when it got warm which caused a global sea level rise.

Massive, Cloud-Like Planet Discovered That's as Fluffy as Cotton Candy

Exoplanet WASP-193b, is nearly 50 % bigger than Jupiter but it's so light and fluffy that its overall density is comparable to that of cotton candy. It's just a hair over 1% of the density of Earth.

Giant swirling waves at the edge of Jupiter's magnetosphere

NASA's Juno spacecraft orbiting Jupiter frequently encounters giant swirling waves at the boundary between the solar wind and Jupiter's magnetosphere. 

Self-healing metal is not just the stuff of science fiction

Scientists described how pieces of pure platinum and copper spontaneously healed cracks caused by metal fatigue during nanoscale experiments that had been designed to study how such cracks form and spread in metal placed under stress.

Astronomers Find Mysterious, Slowly Pulsing Star

An unidentified source has been beaming out a pulse of radio waves every 22 minutes since 1988, astronomers say.

We Just Got The First Evidence of Two Planets Sharing The Same Orbit

The system in which the discovery was made is already famous: PDS-70. It was here that we saw, for the first time, direct images of not just one but two exoplanets in the process of forming, baby gas giants named PDS-70b and PDS-70c

This Meteorite Left Earth. Thousands of Years Later, It Came Back

 Scientists are seeking to confirm that a black rock discovered in Morocco in 2018 departed Earth's pull for outer space, only to return to it like a prodigal child.

Nuclear fusion propulsion tech for future space travel

Space propulsion company Pulsar Fusion has started construction on what it claims is the largest practical nuclear fusion rocket engine ever built.

JWST Might Have Spotted the First Dark Matter Stars

In a first, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may have glimpsed a rare type of star that astronomers aren’t even sure exists. These “dark stars” might not have been fueled not by nuclear fusion but by the self-annihilation of dark matter.

The Entire Universe Could Be Twice as Old as We Thought

A retired cosmological theory should be given a second chance at explaining anomalies in our Universe, according to theoretical physicist Rajendra Gupta from the University of Ottawa in Canada.

'Like a mirror': Astronomers identify most reflective exoplanet

A scorching hot world where metal clouds rain drops of titanium is the most reflective planet ever observed outside of our Solar System.

Perseverance Rover Finds Preserved Organic Matter on Mars

Researchers poring over imagery and data from the Perseverance rover on Mars have found evidence of organic molecules in the planet’s Jezero Crater, potentially providing evidence of the planet’s carbon cycles and its ability to host life.
