The new theory, developed by physicists at Aalto University, describes gravity in a way that’s compatible with the Standard Model of particle physics, opening the door to an improved understanding of ...

University of Portsmouth physicist Melvin Vopson proposes a new way to think about gravity — not just as a pull, but as something that happens when the Universe is trying to stay organized. The ...

The Hubble team has released a stunning new image snapped by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope of the massive spiral galaxy NGC 1961. NGC 1961 is located approximately 190 million light-years away ...

NASA’s Curiosity rover has found evidence of a carbon cycle on ancient Mars, bringing scientists closer to an answer on whether the planet was ever capable of supporting life. Planetary researchers ...

NASA has released an incredibly beautiful image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of the barred spiral galaxy Messier 77. Messier 77 is located 62 million light-years away from Earth in the ...

“To paraphrase the Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus, who famously said Panta Rhei — everything moves, we thought that perhaps Panta Kykloutai — everything turns,” said Dr. István Szapudi, an ...

Paleontologists have described the oldest known member of Haidomyrmecinae — an extinct subfamily of ants that only lived during the Cretaceous period — preserved as a rock impression in the limestone ...

Electricity-conducting cable bacteria form a group of multicellular prokaryotes that enable electron transfer over centimeter-scale distances within marine and freshwater sediments. Biologists have ...

NGC 1514’s two central stars, which appear as one in the image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, formed this scene over thousands of years — and will keep at it for thousands more. NGC ...

High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing a series of physical processes that results ...

Physicists at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology say they have observed a new form of quantum entanglement in the total angular momentum of photons confined in nanoscale structures. Their ...

Dirt ants (genus Basiceros) are widely distributed yet rarely encountered members of Neotropical ecosystems. Their rarity is attributed to a cryptobiotic life habit. These ants possess specialized ...
