A world-first study proves microbes essential for human health can survive the extreme forces of a space rocket launch and re-entry unharmed.
This finding by RMIT University is a major step toward sustaining life on long-duration missions to Mars.
Galactic turbulence, a cosmic enigma influencing everything from star formation to particle movement, has been simulated with unprecedented precision. The surprising results challenge long-held theories about energy flow in the vast interstellar medium.
To combat the growing threat of undetected space debris, a UAF scientist is spearheading a project to design a "Space Debris Hunter" satellite. This initiative aims to track objects as small as one centimetre, safeguarding vital satellite infrastructure.
Deep within Earth, a hidden transformation is underway. Scientists have discovered that the inner core's surface is changing shape, challenging previous assumptions about its solid nature. This dynamic activity could influence Earth's rotation and magnetic field.
Euclid, the ESA's dark Universe detective, has made a stunning early discovery: a near-perfect Einstein ring. This rare phenomenon, caused by gravitational lensing, was found surrounding galaxy NGC 6505, showcasing Euclid's power and hinting at the wealth of cosmic secrets it will uncover.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking material that barely changes size with temperature, defying the usual expansion of metals. This achievement opens doors for advancements in aerospace, electronics, and precision instruments, promising to revolutionise technologies reliant on dimensional stability.
In a significant development for international space cooperation, Finland has signed the Artemis Accords, becoming the 53rd nation to join the program.
Geoffrey Hinton, a dominant figure in Artificial Intelligence, has been awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics, sharing the honour with John J. Hopfield from Princeton University.
In a bid to tackle the growing threat of space debris and ensure the sustainability of space operations, the UK government has announced ambitious initiatives and investments.
Open Access Government looks at supporting the U.S. Physical Sciences in the U.S., including research on superconductivity, high energy physics, and quantum information science.
Physicists from University College London (UCL) have put forth a theory to adapt the longstanding clash between two foundational pillars of modern physics – quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity.
On Wednesday, India became the first to land a spacecraft near the moon's south pole. The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft's Vikram ladder touched down shortly after 6 p.m and cost around $75 million.
