Discoveries, research and the ideas reshaping how we see things.
International collaborations and advanced propulsion technologies developed throughout 2026 have accelerated timelines for deep-space missions, even as astronomers prepare for a major solar eclipse on August 12.
A rare recording of a great white shark feeding in Rhode Island waters is more than a viral curiosity. It is the visible edge of a major shift in how we track the ocean's apex predators.
Recent observations of colliding galaxies and early cosmic factories are forcing astrophysicists to revise long-standing models of how the universe grew up.
A scientific analysis of the space rock that crashed into a New Jersey home in 2024 reveals a diverse array of organic compounds and evidence of salty brines on its parent asteroid.
After a one-billion-kilometre journey, China's robotic pioneer has rendezvoused with Earth's quasi-moon to pull off a daring, double-target cosmic heist.
Meteorological agencies forecast an 81 percent chance that the strengthening El Niño will become one of the most intense climate patterns of the past century.
The confirmation of an atmospheric envelope around the nearby rocky world marks a milestone in exoplanetary science, offering a new perspective on where life might persist.
For the first time since 1999, mainland Europe is about to be plunged into midday darkness. Here is why the August 12, 2026 total solar eclipse is a must-see event.
A newly discovered burial site containing well-preserved artifacts and wall paintings is yielding fresh evidence about Ramesside funerary practices and social stratification.
The observatory has captured at least five galaxies merging in the early universe, dispersing heavy elements much earlier than cosmological models predicted.
A joint study from German and Indian researchers demonstrates that light-induced quantum friction can decelerate carbon-mesh nanotubes, challenging conventional physics.
The ANCHOR atlas establishes a new threshold for neurobiology, offering an unprecedented cell-level view that promises to accelerate research into neurodegenerative diseases.
