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.

Illustration of the giant planets TOI-791 b and TOI-791 c with host star TOI-791. These planets are roughly the size of Jupiter but a tiny fraction of its mass, meaning they have an extraordinarily ...

Much of the semiconductor industry has operated for decades via Moore’s Law, the foreshadowing that transistor counts effectively double about every two years. Yet, as engineers moved toward the ...

A Martian meteorite has unveiled something extraordinary: a previously unknown rock type containing garnet, the first time this mineral has ever been identified on Mars. This discovery is more than a ...

For most of us, quantum physics feels like something that belongs in the invisible world of atoms and photons. It’s the science of the very small, where particles can be in two places at once, or ...

Astronomers have taken a remarkable step into the early Universe. They probed the molecular gas content and interstellar medium (ISM) conditions of REBELS-25, a massive star-forming galaxy that ...

Southern California is, in most ways, a geological paradox. Over a century has passed since the last significant break affected large parts of Los Angeles, but tectonic tension still grips the ground ...
