A study published in Nature Astronomy that used a new machine learning algorithm discovered eight extraterrestrial signatures, which appeared to be the trademarks of advanced technology.

Dr Natasha Hurley-Walker and her team of researchers in Australia found an 'impossible' spinning object in space that terrified them when it sent radio signals to Earth

Radio blasts could be 'technosignatures' from extraterrestrial intelligence but more work is required

Asteroid 2023 BU will zoom over the southern tip of South America only 2,200 miles above the the planet's surface.

The pipeline spilled diluted bitumen into Mill Creek. Experts say that makes cleanup a lot more difficult.

Orbital observations unveil the presence of an enormous mantle plume pushing the surface of Mars upward and driving intense volcanic and seismic activity. The discovery reveals that Mars, like Earth and Venus, possesses an active interior, which challenge

In May, NASA reported its Voyager 1 spacecraft was sending strange data back to Earth. After looking through decades-old manuals to debug it, the Voyager team

Scientists have succeeded for the first time to produce a fusion reaction that creates a net energy gain, a key milestone in the quest for abundant zero-carbon power, the Department of Energy plans to announce on Tuesday.

This week, explore a mysterious and ancient ecosystem that once flourished in Greenland, uncover an elaborate necklace at a housing site, marvel at the

Our microbiome, the billions of microorganisms that live in and on our bodies, control many important bodily functions, including those in our brain. Recent research by Amsterdam UMC, the University of Amsterdam and Erasmus MC delivers the most extensive

A Martian megatsunami may have raced across the Red Planet after a cosmic impact similar to the one that likely ended Earth's age of dinosaurs, a new study finds.

Neuroscientists discovered that the adult brain contains millions of 'silent synapses' -- immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they're recruited to help form new memories.

Titan is a strange world — a little bit Earthlike, if land were made of water ice, rivers and seas were filled with liquid methane and other hydrocarbons, and the atmosphere were thick and hazy, dotted with methane clouds. And now, the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb or JWST) has observed two of

WASP-39b is a hot Saturn with some nasty chemicals in its skies.

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to get the most in-depth look yet at the atmosphere of planet WASP-39 b.

A study published in Science analyses multiple rocks found at the bottom of Jezero Crater on Mars, where the Perseverance rover landed in 2020, revealing significant interaction between the rocks and liquid water. Those rocks also contain evidence consist

Our new study, published in Nature Astronomy, has now tested Einstein's theory on the largest of scales. We believe our approach may one day help resolve some of the biggest mysteries in cosmology, and the results hint that the theory of general relat

The great question-- Is our universe weird permutation among countless other possibilities, observed for no other reason than that its special conditions allowed life to arise?

Extremely thin ceramic coatings can completely change the properties of technical components. Coatings are used, for example, to increase the resistance of metals to heat or corrosion. Coating processes play a role for large turbine blades as well as for

On Wednesday night, a new planet-hunting instrument at the W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea achieved "first light," capturing its first data from the sky, a spectrum of the planet Jupiter.
