Recent breakthroughs in science include solving a superluminous supernova mystery a billion light-years away, NASA's moon landing timeline risks due to SpaceX's delays, Spain's artificial cornea from ...

Queen’s physics researchers are part of a global experiment that will use the Pacific Ocean to study some of the most elusive particles in the universe.

Astrophysicists have identified what contributes to the extreme brightness of superluminous supernovas, aiding cosmic understanding. Bonobos, traditionally seen as peaceful, are now compared to chimps ...

A team of astronomers from NASA have detected several strange and unexplained "little red dots" that are travelling through ...

A powerful "gamma-ray burst" has been seen exploding from merging neutron stars hidden within a previously unknown mini-galaxy leftover from an ancient cosmic crash. The "collision within a collision" ...

Space-time is being driven apart. Every second that passes, the universe expands faster and faster. What is propelling this dramatic acceleration is an enigma, though – one scientists have known about ...

A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge stream of gas. Astronomers have never seen this type of explosive event in an ...

Try searching for your own micrometeorites by collecting particulates from roofs or drain spouts. Use a magnet to see if any particles are attracted, and discard nonmagnetic ones. Use your microscope ...

Researchers have identified a potential mechanism that explains how turbulent plasma can produce the vast, ordered magnetic fields observed across the universe Cosmic magnetic fields are everywhere, ...

This week, we recommend A.D. Sui's The Iron Garden Sutra, a meditative horror sci-fi/fantasy and murder mystery. I don't ...

Astronomers may have found an exciting new clue about dark energy—the mysterious force driving the universe’s accelerating expansion. They discovered an extraordinarily bright supernova from more than ...
