Researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago have discovered a new gene-editing technique that allows for the programming of sequential cuts—or edits—over time.
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system.
Rock from Mars is a rare and precious resource here on Earth. So far, the only samples we have are chunks of meteorite, dislodged from the red planet and travelling through the Solar System until they smack into Earth.
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test is now scheduled to launch in 2022.
Satellites record the speed-up of glaciers along a 1,000km stretch of Antarctic coastline.
Mars's two moons, Phobos and Deimos, have puzzled researchers since their discovery in 1877. They are very small: Phobos's diameter of 22 kilometers is 160 times smaller than that of our moon, and Deimos is even smaller, with a diameter of only 12 kilometers.…
Artemis astronaut and veteran test pilot set for space station flight in 2022
NASA announced Feb. 22 that the SLS Green Run static-fire from Feb. 25 test would be delayed because of a valve problem.
The billionaire entrepreneur is launching satellites into space, and promising to deliver high-speed broadband internet to as many users as possible.
Entirely new models will need to be developed to understand this new, unheard of phenomenon.
‘If there is a God who created the entire universe and ALL of its laws of physics, does God follow God’s own laws?'
Imagine abrupt shifts of the tropical monsoons, reductions in Northern Hemisphere rainfall, and strengthening of North Atlantic storm tracks within decades. These are some of the impacts that climate scientists expect if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Ci…
The latest star data from the Gaia space observatory has for the first time allowed astronomers to generate a massive 3-D atlas of widely separated binary stars within about 3,000 light years of Earth—1.3 million of them.
As if dust storms weren't ominous enough already, on Mars, they might glow due to electricity, according to a new study.
The S.S. Katherine Johnson, a Northrop Grumman Cygnus resupply spacecraft, launched on Saturday from a NASA facility in Virginia and made it to the space station early Monday morning.
From aboard the Juno spacecraft, a Southwest Research Institute-led instrument observing auroras serendipitously spotted a bright flash above Jupiter’s clouds last spring. The Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) team studied the data and determined that they had c…
The Perseverance robot is seen touching down on the Red Planet in a whirl of dust and grit.
Organoids develop genetic signatures of postnatal brains, possibly broadening their use as disease models
Intravenous injection of bone marrow derived stem cells in patients with spinal cord injuries led to significant improvement in motor functions.
Starship SN10’s wait for a launch date, following weather-related delays, could soon be over following…
In its first hiring drive in over a decade, the continent’s space agency is looking to recruit disabled people and more women.
The combination of high resolution and infrared-detecting instruments on NASA’s upcoming James Webb Space Telescope will reveal stars that are currently hidden even from the powerful Hubble Space Telescope.
Astronomers have used a combination of low-frequency telescopes, supercomputers, and algorithms to create a vast sky map of 25,000 supermassive black holes. The map shows thousands of twinkling dots that look like stars, but are actually enormous black holes,…
Polished glass has been at the center of imaging systems for centuries. Their precise curvature enables lenses to focus light and produce sharp images, whether the object in view is a single cell, the page of a book, or a far-off galaxy.
Advances in sequencing technology mean that scientists are on the verge of finally finishing an end-to-end human genome map.
A few years ago, workers digging to create a power plant in New Zealand discovered a 60-ton trunk from a kauri tree, and now according to researchers, it has captured the last collapse of Earth’s magnetic field. ScienceMagThe massive t…
NASA's Perseverance rover shared an exciting photo on Friday from right before its wheels first touched the surface of Mars. In the photo shared on the official Perseverance Twitter account, we get an extremely rare, close-up photo of an entire rover on (or a…
Some microbes on Earth could temporarily survive on the surface of Mars, finds a new study by NASA and German Aerospace Center scientists. The researchers tested the endurance of microorganisms to Martian conditions by launching them into the Earth's stratosp…
