The very first cells obtained their energy from geochemical reactions. LMU researchers have now managed to recreate this ancient metabolic process in their laboratory.

Did you know some of the brightest sources of light in the sky come from the regions around black holes in the centers of galaxies? It sounds a little contradictory, but it's true! They may not look bright to our eyes, b...

Space-based solar power (SBSP) has long been the dream of many space enthusiasts and energy economists. However, the reality of economic constraints has long left any practice projects on the ground. There has been plent...

NASA is investigating a problem with the electric propulsion system on its Psyche asteroid spacecraft, but an agency official said it is not currently a major concern. The post NASA investigating problem with Psyche elec...

NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) astronaut Takuya Onishi will answer prerecorded questions about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from students in Mansfield, Tex...

Astronomy has entered the age of gravitational waves. While there are plenty of differences between gravitational wave astronomy and typical waves of the electromagnetic spectrum, they share one similar feature: frequenc...

Magnetars are among the rarest--and weirdest--denizens of the galactic zoo. They have powerful magnetic fields and may be the source of fast radio bursts (FRBs). A team of astronomers led by European Space Agency researc...

Communications with Mars explorers face unique challenges, including 4-24 minute signal delays and limited bandwidth that restricts data transmission. While NASA's Deep Space Network currently manages these communication...

Data from Europe's Gaia spacecraft have revealed that a cluster of 1,000 stars is breaking up much faster than is normal, stumping astronomers.

This spectrograph map, generated from data collected by NASA's New Horizons probe, depicts the relatively uniform brightness of the ultraviolet "Lyman-alpha" background surrounding our Sun and its area of influence.

We know that our Milky Way galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in its center. Astronomers think most spiral galaxies do, and that SMBHs coexist and co-evolve with their host galaxies. However, they haven't been...

NASA is asking private industry and academia for ideas for new rescue services for its astronauts on Earth in the event of emergencies.

Getting missions to land successfully on the moon has been difficult. Recent missions, such as IM-1 and IM-2, which the private company Intuitive Machines completed, have been qualified successes at best, with both lande...

How do robots feel in space? This is both a practical and possibly an existential question. Still, today, we'll focus on the practical side by looking at a review paper from Hadi Jahanshahi and Zheng Zhu of York Universi...

In 2020, astronomers detected WD 1856+534 b, a gas giant that orbits a star 81 light-years from Earth. This exoplanet, which is roughly six times the mass of Jupiter (making it a "super-Jupiter"), was the first transitin...

Astronomers have captured the sharpest, most detailed images yet of young solar systems where planets are just beginning to take shape.
