The bright points are radio-emitting galaxies and other compact sources, whose emission is much stronger than the faint ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered compelling evidence of massive black holes in the ...

When a star drifts too close to a black hole, intense tidal forces can rip it apart in a tidal disruption event (TDE). The ...

For decades, physicists have been interested in finding out what the Universe was like in its first millionth of a second; in ...

A team of researchers at MIT has now created a system‑on‑a‑chip called Gleanmer that lets small autonomous robots create ...

In a breakthrough experiment, an international team of physicists used a quantum simulator for the first time to detect the ...

On Aug. 5, a SpaceX Falcon 9 impacted the lunar surface and formed a crater. NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) ...

An NJIT-led research team has developed an AI system that can spot faint warning signals of solar active regions, potential precursors to solar storms, nearly nine hours before they become visible.

Think: use ONLY sound to move minuscule machines! This is the promise of acoustic actuation, a jiggly way to commandeer robots from afar. Sound waves push cells, bubbles, and particles around in ...

The 150-million-year-old fossil known as Archaeopteryx, which is often regarded as the first bird, might not have taken off into the air with one strong jump. While many modern birds do take off in ...

Parkinson’s disease has puzzled scientists for years. We’ve known that clumps of the protein alpha-synuclein build up inside brain cells, but not exactly how they cause damage. Now, researchers from ...

Pluto’s northern Sputnik Planitia glacier (in the western or left side of Pluto’s brightheart) is shown here in a color mosaic made from NASA’s New Horizons imagery. The direction of north is shown on ...
