Science advances through data that don't fit our current understanding. At least that was Thomas Kuhn's theory in his famous ...

A radical new theory regarding the origin of the universe suggests that gravitational waves, tiny ripples in spacetime first ...

An international research collaboration has used advanced computer simulations to investigate how faint radio signals from ...

Faint hydrogen signals from the cosmic Dark Ages may soon help determine the mass of dark matter particles. Simulations suggest future Moon-based observatories could distinguish between warm and cold ...

In a study published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MRNAS), astronomers from the University of Warwick, Europe, and the United States found strong evidence that ...

Combining ice with salt makes the electrical charge exponentially stronger. It could be a useful power source for a more ...

Simulations show how the low density on Mars affects lift, aiding in the design of small, flapping-wing exploration crafts.

Far beyond the familiar greens and purples of Earth’s aurora, Jupiter’s polar skies are hiding a secret that has only now ...

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases the size of the Moon’s orbit. This means that the Moon gets slightly farther ...

The two telescopes operate synchronously: Izaña-2 fires laser pulses at a piece of space debris high overhead, and Izaña-1 ...

Research offers new insights into protecting Earth from harmful solar radiation. A team at the Twin Cities has identified and studied a previously unknown type of plasma wave within Jupiter’s aurora.

New research shows how faint radio signals from the early Universe, soon to be detected by Moon missions, could reveal dark ...
