Japan's MMX spacecraft will launch October 19 to collect samples from Mars moon Phobos and return them to Earth, a first-ever achievement in planetary science exploration.
Researchers have discovered that thunderquakes—seismic waves generated by lightning strikes—can map subsurface geology using existing fiber-optic cables as vibration sensors, potentially revolutionizing how we detect groundwater, sinkholes, and contamination.
Only 15% of eligible American adults have discussed lung cancer screening with doctors despite its life-saving potential, according to University of Cincinnati Cancer Center research published in the American Journal of Surgery.
Danish researchers using three advanced brain-scanning techniques found higher dopamine D2 receptors and distinct energy patterns in autistic brains, suggesting the dopamine system plays a more fundamental role in autism than previously understood.
Researchers combining three brain-imaging techniques found autistic adults have more dopamine D2 receptors than neurotypical people, suggesting dopamine plays a fundamental role in autism's neurobiological mechanisms.
Human remains discovered in Lake Powell as the Utah-Arizona reservoir drops to critically low levels due to drought. The finding marks another grim consequence of the region's water crisis affecting millions.
Conservation researchers in Tanzania captured rare footage of servaline servals—a color morph variant never before documented in the country—using camera traps during big cat research.
New research reveals Angola's Angolan Highlands Water Tower contains significantly more peatland than previously estimated, with 8,662-11,167 km² identified. The discovery is critical for regional water security and carbon storage across southern Africa.
Grief coach Kate Doerge describes opening her home to celebrate her 16-year-old daughter Penny before her death from an inoperable neurofibromatosis tumor, framing it as sending her 'out on a rocket ship of love.'
NASA has decided to cancel a planned mission to save the Swift gamma-ray telescope from falling to Earth, pivoting away from the rescue effort.
President Trump will award the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to NASA's Artemis II crew on Aug. 28 for completing a historic lunar mission and traveling farther than humans ever before.
Monash University researchers predict stable quantum droplets can form from bosons and fermions under strong interactions, challenging decades of physics assumptions and opening pathways for quantum technology applications.
Large Hadron Collider experiments reveal that oxygen and neon nuclei shift shape during high-energy collisions, challenging conventional understanding of nuclear geometry and recreating conditions from the early universe.
LHC experiments using oxygen and neon collisions reveal that atomic nuclei have dynamic, shifting shapes rather than fixed structures, with particle flow patterns providing insights into their internal geometry.
President Trump will present the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to NASA's Artemis II crew on Aug. 28, recognizing their historic lunar mission. The four astronauts become only the 31st group to receive the nation's top space honor.
Dietitians share practical, whole-food strategies to boost protein intake across breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals, helping older adults maintain muscle mass and independence without relying on processed products.
Magnesium supplements can support sleep and recovery, but exceeding 400mg daily risks diarrhea and serious complications. Experts advise checking total intake across all supplements and consulting doctors about medication interactions.
Opinion piece critiques space programs as vanity projects driven by powerful leaders, highlighting SpaceX rocket debris on the moon as symbol of competitive waste rather than genuine human progress.
