Researchers at Adelaide University in Australia have shown that in the lab, a lack of gravity can work against our gametes – a possible…

Scientists have uncovered a massive water reservoir deep beneath Earth’s surface, contained within a mineral called ringwoodite. This “ocean” is three times larger than all of Earth’s surface oceans combined, and it is located about…

A new era in mathematics may be on the horizon—one that some researchers have long desired. Mathematicians could soon use computers to verify proofs quickly and rigorously, ensuring published proofs are correct and providing a foundation for…

A small asteroid about the size of a car flew close to Earth overnight Tuesday, giving scientists another chance to study objects that pass near the planet. The space rock, known as 2026 FM3, made its closest approach on March 24-25, according to…

In 2021, dermatologist David Ozog was on holiday with his family in the Bahamas, when his 18-year-old son had a massive stroke. The teenager was airlifted to Florida, and then to Chicago for surgery. As his son was lying partially paralyzed in a…

Stunning new views of Saturn offer the most detailed portrait yet of the ringed planet, showcasing the combined power of NASA’s most advanced space telescopes.

Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space…

Mathematicians are threatening to boycott the field’s largest, most prestigious gathering this summer if it takes place in the U.S., as currently planned.

Every four years since the turn of the twentieth century, the International Congress of…

Aging may “erase” the epigenetic markers that control gene expression in the brain, and this may snowball to cause unintended consequences, a new mouse study suggests.

Tiny chemical messages attached to our genetic code, called epigenetic…

Consistency is key to building healthy habits, and our daily meal choices may be no exception.

Researchers at Drexel University in the US have now found evidence that indulging in the same meals and snacks day after day can lead to more…

NASA is gearing up to send astronauts back toward the moon for the first time in more than 50 years with Artemis 2 — a mission that marks the next chapter in human lunar exploration — but who is Artemis?

The Artemis program is named for the…
