The Cave of Crystals in Chihuahua, Mexico, is buried almost 1,000 feet (300 meters) beneath Earth's surface and contains giant gypsum crystal beams that are up to 37 feet (11 m) long.
Mercury is about to reach its "greatest elongation west" of the sun, meaning stargazers will have their best view of the "swift planet" all year. Here's how to see it.
A new type of hybrid sodium-ion battery that offers both high capacity and rapid-charging capabilities could power mobile devices, electric vehicles and space tech.
Climate models can be a million lines of code long and can take months to run on supercomputers. A new algorithm has dramatically shortened that time.
The James Webb Space Telescope's possible detection of biological chemicals on the exoplanet K2-18b may just have been methane gas, a new study cautions. Planned follow-up observations could solve the mystery for good.
Scientists built a "smart filter" that can work with a cheap smartphone camera to transform low-resolution photos into supersharp images without glare and other issues.
With her long, brown hair and determined gaze, the new facial reconstruction lets us peek into the world of an archaic human who lived tens of thousands of years ago.
A pair of odd twisters spun out from a supercell thunderstorm in Oklahoma Tuesday (April 30).
Scientists have calculated the rotational speed of asteroid 2024 BX1, which exploded over Berlin earlier this year, by letting it trail in images of the sky. It turns out, 2024 BX1 was spinning faster than any other near-Earth object ever seen.
Fears of electric vehicle fires are blown out of proportion, but because EVs are heavier on average, they're safer for passengers but more dangerous for non-occupants, studies suggest.
Huge "tiger stripe" fault lines seen on Saturn's moon Enceladus raise hopes that a "long-lived" ocean containing potential alien life may lurk beneath the moon's icy shell.
A study of mice starts to unravel how the brain gets tricked by this kind of optical illusion, and it gives clues about how visual perception works.
Scientists build the world's first 6G antenna that, when fitted into devices, can transmit data at high speeds.
The sword is the first weapon from the Islamic period to be found in the Spanish city of Valencia.
Submillimeter wavelength radio observations of the Southern Ring Nebula have identified that it's actually a double ring, shaped by the interactions of three stars.
Mars has had frequent planet-wide auroras in recent months, including an unprecedented trio of events in February. Experts say the sudden increase is the result of the ongoing solar maximum.
A new map of a brain network that sustains wakefulness in humans could help improve our understanding of consciousness.
The moon controls the tides, impacts marine ecosystems, and subtly influences time on Earth. So what would happen if the moon suddenly disappeared?
