Expedition 74 crew members, aboard the International Space Station (ISS), are gearing up for a pivotal spacewalk while ...

Following the early departure of Crew-11 in mid-January due to a medical concern, the International Space Station began February with a crew of just three. Two cosmonauts, Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and ...

What governs the speed at which raindrops fall, sediment settles in river estuaries, and matter is ejected during a supernova? These questions circle around one, deceitfully simple factor: the rate at ...

Millions of hedgehogs die as they cross the roads, but a discovery is paving the way for a warning that might stop them crossing at dangerous times.

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

Superluminous supernovas are the brightest stellar explosions in the universe. Astronomers may have found a mechanism that can trigger these events.

A new study explains how some supernovas are particularly dazzling—the glow from a magnetic, spinning ball of neutrons called a magnetar. An assist from Einstein is what settled the case ...
