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.
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 ...
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 ...
A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a ...
The number of satellites in orbit around Earth has exploded from fewer than 8,000 satellites before 2019 to over 14,000 now. Many are from SpaceX’s own Starlink network, which a ...
Fluorescent microscopy of SpudCell - a synthetic cell assembled entirely from non-living chemical components - undergoing division. Credit: Kate Adamala, Adamala Lab For centuries, the question of ...
The Soviet PFM-1, also known as the butterfly mine for its winged shape, was designed with chilling precision. Dropped from aircraft, it flutters to the ground like a maple seed, small enough to evade ...
A new solid-state material from Kyushu University turns visible light into high-energy UV at sunlight intensity. By attaching alkyl chains to the sp³ carbon atoms of an organic molecule, the ...
Physicists have been trying to use quantum mechanics for decades to build computers that could solve problems currently out of reach of classical machines. Options are many, including superconducting ...
