Saturn shines throughout the month, a conjunction sparkles in the sky, and we welcome the autumnal equinox.
A bus-size asteroid, first spotted just over a week ago, will zoom past Earth tomorrow (Sept. 3). The space rock will not get this close to us again until Sept. 4, 2125 — almost 100 years to the day.
The asteroid, dubbed 2025 QV5, was first…
Engineers created an organic material that forms precise, durable patterns when exposed to light. It resists damage from solvents and keeps its structure during manufacturing, avoiding the need for extra chemicals or protective layers. Devices…
Camera-trap images from a section of Kafue National Park in Zambia show conservation efforts are paying off: Populations of leopards, wild dogs and lions are all growing, Mongabay…
Some of the world’s oldest microbial DNA has been found preserved in the mammoth remains dating back over one million years.
An international team, led by researchers at the Centre for Palaeogenetics in Sweden, analyzed microbial DNA from…
Artificial intelligence systems are thirsty, consuming as much as 500 milliliters of water – a single-serving water bottle – for each short conversation a user has with the GPT-3 version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT system. They use roughly the…
Cuban brown anoles have the highest blood lead levels of any vertebrate known — three times that of the previous record holder, the Nile crocodile.
With the power to rewrite the genetic code underlying countless diseases, CRISPR holds immense promise to revolutionize medicine. But until scientists can deliver its gene-editing machinery safely and efficiently into relevant…
Researchers develop hybrid kiri-origami structures that enable the fabrication of high-performance stretchable electronics using non-stretchable materials.
