The James Webb telescope has focused its attention on an oddball space rock lurking between Jupiter and Neptune. The unusual "centaur," named 2060 Chiron, has features of both comets and asteroids.

New research has found a way to power spacecraft with lasers generated using solar energy alone.

Scientists investigating the frozen Lake Enigma in Antarctica discovered an ecosystem teeming with strange microbial communities.

The updated version of the World Magnetic Model was released on Dec. 17, with a new prediction of how the magnetic north pole will shift over the next five years. Here's why it was changed.

A newly-deployed satellite has created the most-detailed map yet of the ocean floor, finding hundreds of hills and underwater volcanoes that were previously missed.

Dissolved carbon dioxide may have bubbled up from magma far below Earth's surface, contributing to prolonged warming.

Wolves in Ethiopia that lick the flowers of the "red hot poker" flowers are the first known large carnivores to eat nectar.

Evo is a large language model that is not trained on words but on the genomes of millions of microbes. It can accurately predict the effects of mutations.

After discussing the quirks in 3D modeling software, where a laser beam is treated as a solid object that can cast a shadow, scientists decided to experiment in real life — and found that laser beams can indeed cast a shadow under the right conditions.

By tapping into the enigmatic theory of how neurons transmit signals, scientists have proven they can one day build computer chips with near-zero electrical resistance.

A new type of ultrafast memory uses optical signals and magnets to efficiently process and store data.

Scientists have just broken a 100-year-old chemistry rule and synthesized a type of 3D, unstable molecule called an anti-Bredt olefin.

Scientists studying the infamous 3-body problem have discovered certain "islands of regularity" that emerge from the gravitational chaos.

This new device can AI to distinguish between different coffee blends or detect when food or drink may be on the verge of going bad.

Batteries used in smartphones or in EVs normally charge for 10 hours on their first cycle, but turbo-charging them to 100% capacity in 20 minutes may lead to a 50% longer lifespan.

About 40% of cats play fetch with their owners, but it's not clear why.

Quantum compasses need six atom interferometers, each the size of a small room, to work. But scientists have made crucial steps to miniaturizing these devices.

Next generation of computer chips could ditch silicon for TMD — a 2D material that is embedded with 'defects' which can be harnessed to improve performance.

If you've ever fallen into a rabbit hole of ASMR videos, you might wonder how the peculiar sensation comes about. Here's what we know.

In the dark, vivid colors seem to fade to gray and they're hard to tell apart. Why is that?

The three-body problem is a physics conundrum that has boggled scientists since Isaac Newton's day. But what is it, why is it so hard to solve and is the sci-fi series of the same name really possible?

Do galaxies, including our own Milky Way, orbit anything in the universe?

Birman and Burmese cats live the longest, while Sphynx cats die the youngest, a giant new study of U.K. cats found.

Spacecraft have visited and photographed the far side of the moon, but why can't we see it from Earth?

Why don't dogs claws retract like felines' do?
