NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope provided the first vertical view of Uranus’s ionosphere in this image released on Feb. 19, 2026, revealing auroras shaped by its tilted magnetic field. Getting a look at the structure of the region where the atmosphere interacts strongly with the planet’s magnetic f

A discovery by UCLA organic chemists may one day put catalytic converter thieves out of business. In new research, they've used abundant, inexpensive phosphorus as a catalyst in chemical reactions that usually require precious metals like platinum, one of the…

Groundbreaking “camera-on-a-chip” technology that was originally developed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for use in space missions is currently employed in billions of devices like cell phones that are used daily by people worldwide.

A new study finds that people with obesity are more likely to be hospitalized with or die from severe infections.

Mirrorless is being left on terra firma.

NASA’s efforts to get the Artemis II mission off the ground have stalled once again, as engineers navigate a new issue with the rocket set to launch four astronauts around the moon.

The night sky is full of wonder. Here's what to look out for tonight.

Researchers are engineering bacteria to invade tumors and consume them from the inside. Because tumor cores lack oxygen, they’re the perfect breeding ground for these microbes. The team added a genetic tweak that helps the bacteria survive longer near oxygen-…

Taftan volcano in southeastern Iran rose 3.5 inches over 10 months, signaling that it is waking up after 700,000 years of dormancy.

A 2021 satellite photo shows off the recently uncovered Yilan crater in China, which is most likely the youngest impact structure on Earth. The incomplete ring is also the largest of its kind and only the second impact crater ever found in the country.

Winds blowing past the volcanic landmass near the Korean Peninsula created a trail of spiraling clouds, while murky water churned nearby.

By harnessing two natural timescales in resonator arrays, researchers created photonic chips that reliably produce multiple harmonics without active compensation. For decades, scientists and engineers have steadily advanced technologies that control and manip…

Paleontologists in Brazil have identified a previously unknown species of somphospondylan sauropod dinosaur with European affinities, hinting at ancient migration routes that once linked two continents now separated by the Atlantic Ocean.

Six planets are linking up in the sky at the end of February, and most will be visible to the naked eye. It's what's known as a planetary parade, which happens when multiple...

A research team at King's College London has isolated a new form of aluminum—a highly abundant metal, that could provide a far cheaper and more sustainable alternative to commonly used rare earth metals. Dr. Clare Bakewell, Senior Lecturer in the Department o…

The planet's upper atmosphere has been mapped for the first time, revealing one of the solar system's most enigmatic members.

Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a coincidence—but other experts say it probably was.
