Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations — something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The ...

Their observations of a faint, cool M-dwarf star called LHS 1903 revealed a system with a rocky world at its outer edge. LHS ...

The discovery is just the latest to come from the asteroid sample, which dates back to the dawn of the solar system.

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

What happens to soft matter when gravity disappears? To answer this, UvA physicists launched a fluid dynamics experiment on a sounding rocket. The suborbital rocket reached an altitude of 267 km ...

Life may have started in sticky, rock-hugging gels rather than inside cells. Researchers suggest these primitive, biofilm-like materials could trap and concentrate molecules, giving early chemistry a ...

Welcome back to another challenging science quiz! We’re returning to the world of atoms, stars, and everything in between with this 32-question test. From the tiniest cells to the vastness of space, ...

The planets around a nearby star seem to be in the wrong order, hinting that they formed through a different mechanism than the familiar one by which most systems grow ...

A “disappearing” star in the Andromeda galaxy is the closest and best candidate for a newborn black hole that astronomers have ever seen ...

Elon Musk's SpaceX told investors it will prioritize going to the moon first and attempt a trip to Mars at a later time, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing sources. Eutelsat secures 1 ...

Before the Inca civilization rose to power in what’s now Peru, the Chincha Kingdom reigned as a prosperous society on the country’s southern coast. Now, scientists have discovered that seabird ...

Just days after SpaceX pivoted to the Moon, Blue Origin’s new lunar strategy has come to light. A closer look at the planets around a star called LHS 1903 may just flip our understanding of how ...
