A new study from Kyoto University has shown that white dwarfs, which were once thought to be relatively cool and dormant, can be significantly hotter than expected when locked in tight orbits with another star.
The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the results of its latest Advanced Grant competition, awarding €721 to 281 researchers across Europe.
A team of astronomers at the University of Hawai'i's Institute for Astronomers (IfA) have discovered a new type of cosmic explosion that exceeds anything observed previously.
This summer, a new generation of aerospace explorers will get an up-close look at careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through the 2025 Junior Test Pilot School.
In a groundbreaking feat, telescopes in Chile have detected 13-billion-year-old light from the Big Bang, scattered by the universe's first stars. This achievement, once thought impossible from Earth, offers vital insights into the Cosmic Dawn and the early evolution of our universe.
The European Commission has announced the second group of companies advancing in the EIC Strategic Technologies for Europe Platform (STEP) Scale-Up initiative.
The University of Chicago has received a $21 million gift from philanthropist Thea Berggren to establish the Berggren Center for Quantum Biology and Medicine. This groundbreaking center will merge quantum engineering with biology to revolutionise medicine, aiming to unlock new insights for diagnostics and therapies.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has completed its comprehensive imaging of the Sombrero galaxy, revealing its huge stellar bulge and intricate dust disk in stunning near-infrared detail. These observations are key to understanding the galaxy's turbulent past and evolution.
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the surprising origin of the ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-121b. Detecting atmospheric methane and silicon monoxide suggests this ultra-hot world formed in a colder, distant region akin to our outer Solar System, then migrated inward.
As Europe charts its economic future amid global uncertainties, the European Commission’s new Startup and Scaleup Strategy signals a pivotal shift in how innovation is conceived—not only as a commercial activity, but as a core strategic asset underpinning EU sovereignty, resilience, and growth.
