The latest news, developments and research findings from all fields of science including biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, sociology and space, including news on the latest policies regulating this sector.
The NISAR (NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellite was successfully launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, this week.
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.
Frederik Esterhuizen, Global Business Line Manager for Metals at ABB, discusses the future of aluminium, asserting that reshoring, recycling, and efficiency will lead to increased capacity.
New research offers compelling evidence for intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), the "missing links" in black hole evolution. These studies provide unprecedented insights into the universe's earliest stars and galaxy formation, bridging the gap between stellar and supermassive black holes.
