The powerful LARID radar in Hainan, China, can detect plasma bubbles in Earth’s upper atmosphere up to 9,600km away.

Researchers have discovered that the Tau protein, often linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, also has a protective role in the brain.

The secrets of black holes and dark matter could lie before the Big Bang, a new study of "bouncing" cosmology hints.

About 66 million years ago, a cataclysmic event marked the end of the dinosaur era. This episode is linked to the...

It feels like there have been staggering science stories emerging every other day recently, all of which have blown our tiny little minds.First, there was the discovery of a terrifying black hole pointing right at us, then there was a huge hole found in the sun and a missing continent found after go...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration has set a new standard for Earth-based observations. Interestingly,...

NASA's satellite recently discovered peculiar X- and C-shaped patterns in Earth's ionosphere, the layer of charged gas that helped radio signals travel over long distances. The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission revealed how various factors caused disturbances in the ionosphere. These strange alphabetical structures appea...

Mars will get the newly dubbed "Dimorphid" meteors first but Earth is not too far behind.

Researchers uncovered matching sets of hundreds of dinosaur footprints in Africa and South America, revealing a dinosaur highway used 120 million years ago.

To determine an object’s quantum properties, you may only need to measure how it exchanges heat with its environment, without touching the object itself

Experts are terrified about the "Gates of Hell": The plan to open them is ready, and this energy will be extracted for the first time

Scientists have finally learned more about the opposite of deja vu, which is a phenomenon known as jamais vu.

The Moon is a key piece of the space exploration puzzle. One of our next objectives is to visit Earth’s satellite and establish a permanent … The post China produced large quantities of water using the Moon’s soil appeared first on BGR.

Did they beat humans to the punch?

Some of the Earth’s most “extreme features” have been discovered deep, deep underground, and scientists can’t work out what they are. The mysterious zones have the power to slow down seismic waves by up to 50 per cent, yet experts don’t know what they’re made of or what role they play. These strange black holes (figuratively speaking) are located w...

An "incredibly rare" fish was found at La Jolla Cove recently, making it the 20th time an oarfish has been spotted in California in the last century.

When organizing the massive amount of data needed for bioinformatics, AI might be just what the doctor ordered.

Scientists have traced six meteorites to their original craters on Mars, providing unprecedented new insights into their origins.

Bdelloid rotifers, a type of small freshwater animal, harness stolen bacterial genes to create antibiotics, offering insights into developing safer antimicrobial drugs and addressing growing antibiotic resistance. A team of researchers from the University of Oxford, the University of Stirling, an

The original principle of relativity, proposed by Galileo way back in the early 1600s, remains true in its unchanged form even today.

An analysis of the brightest gamma-ray burst ever observed reveals no difference in the propagation speed of different frequencies of light—placing some of the tightest constraints on certain violations of general relativity.

Einstein's theoretical warp drive concept brings faster-than-light travel closer, defying known physics limits.

One of the quantum fields that fills the universe is special because its default value seems poised to eventually change—changing everything.

A study adds strong evidence to the hypothesis that the deadly rock came from a family of objects that originally formed well beyond the orbit of the planet Jupiter.
