The photograph, taken in visible light, made it possible to observe for the first time the tiny plasma vortices that had been predicted for more than a century.
The Korea Aerospace Research Institute shared images that show the gash on the surface. It’s pretty small.
With rising temperatures and drier conditions, fires are more likely to explode. And with more people living next to forests, the results can be catastrophic.
The use of AI systems to create viruses opens up new possibilities for combating bacterial resistance. It also raises concerns about the pace at which technology is outstripping regulation.
Its WeatherNext model, which will be open-sourced, can accurately predict a storm’s track and intensity using lower-resolution weather data. Researchers don’t yet fully understand how it does this.
Here’s when some of this year’s most anticipated astronomical events will happen and the best way to observe them.
Zulfi Alam thinks his team doesn’t need to “prove” they engineered a new state of matter in their bid to reinvent computing. Science would disagree.
Chevron and Williams are big winners in the race to power artificial intelligence as they build out gas-fired power plants and pipelines.
Although no one captured a direct image of the impact, scientists have detected signals confirming the rocket hit the lunar surface. Orbiters could provide the first images of the crash site in the coming days.
A startup has created beagles without the gene that causes runny noses and watery eyes for allergy sufferers.
A new study shows how the big cats cause deer to move away from roads and deeper into the forest, where they pose less of a hazard to motorists.
Nobody likes getting a swab shoved up their nose. A startup in Japan has developed a much less intrusive system.
What the Unabomber, Steve Bannon’s tech guy, and Bernie Sanders taught me about the great data center backlash of 2026.
The risk of more debris hitting the moon is on the rise as the space race heats up.
From how galaxies form to the beginnings of the universe, the images from the space telescope are giving cosmologists new data to explore—and theories to build out.
Everything you need to know about the solar eclipse and lunar eclipse that will occur in August 2026.
More EVs reaching the end of their life means more batteries to recycle. But waste management companies have yet to catch up to the new reality.
A discovery in a solar system 73 light-years from Earth is challenging definitions and “blurring the lines between stars, planets, and moons.”
The impact will kick up a plume of debris so high, it’ll likely be visible through some telescopes. Astronomers will be watching.
A combination of El Niño, unusually hot ocean waters, and jet stream changes is sending temperatures soaring in the US, Europe, and Asia.
