Scientists have successfully measured the magnetic field of the Lighthouse pulsar’s nebula using NASA’s IXPE. Their measurements confirm the theory that high-energy particles escape along the galaxy’s ...

The discovery also sheds light on why some people are disturbed by low-frequency noise while others barely notice it. If the ...

Exoplanet WD 1856 b, shown in this artist’s concept, is a gas giant that orbits its star at a distance 50 times closer than Earth orbits the Sun. Observations by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope ...

The ocean floor is constantly growing, forged by magmas and stretched by tectonic forces at mid-ocean ridges (MORs). Yet despite their importance, these submarine boundaries remain among the hardest ...

This image of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS was taken on 18 January 2026 with the FORS2 instrument on ESO’s Very Large ...

Scientists reveal how one of the world's deadliest superbugs evolved.

For a pack-a-day smoker, the cost of cigarettes can climb to nearly $14,000 a year, not to mention the toll on health. Yet quitting remains one of the hardest challenges many people will ever face.

The planet has a minimum mass just over twice that of Earth and orbits its star at a distance that causes it to receive almost the same amount of starlight as Earth does. The planet joins a growing ...

This graphic illustrates three different ways that electrons can pair up and flow through rhombohedral pentalayer graphene without resistance. The three different superconducting states (represented ...

Astronomers have uncovered striking new evidence that galactic winds, long suspected of shutting down star formation in massive galaxies, were already blowing fiercely just a billion years after the ...

Engineers have been using piezoelectric crystals to generate acoustic ripples, surface acoustic waves (SAWs), that propagate along a material’s surface at gigahertz (GHz) frequencies for decades.
