The presence of an organic compound, dimethyl sulfide in an alien planet, has astronomers wondering whether they have indirectly confirmed life thriving outside our solar system.
The hopping mechanism allows the robot to jump nearly 20 centimeters—four times its height—at speeds up to 30 centimeters per second
Astronauts Sunita Williams and Butch Wilmore returned from the ISS last month, younger than we did in the past ten months - thanks to strange physics...
David Wiltshire, a cosmologist at New Zealand’s University of Canterbury, proposed an alternate model that gets rid of dark energy entirely. But in doing so, it...
By genetically engineering a light-sensitive version of this enzyme, the researchers were able to use light to direct the cell's motion in precise patterns
The breakthrough involves a network of two quantum processors linked by an interconnect that sends microwave photons—particles of light that carry quantum information—back and forth on...
This marks the first time a complex form of carbon essential for life on Earth has been observed outside the solar system. To learn more about...
