New results from the James Webb Space Telescope find that radiation from ordinary galaxies cleared the primordial haze left over from the Big Bang, allowing the first light to shine through the early universe.
U.S. scientists argue that chance alone cannot consistently produce the highly complex molecules found in all living creatures. To produce billions of copies of intricate objects like proteins, human hands, or iPhones, the universe needs a 'memory'.
Astronomers have just found a second example of a white dwarf acting as a pulsar, following the first discovery in 2016.
Melting of glaciers to cause flooding and water shortages for nearly 2 billion people who live downstream, report says.
These jaw-dropping videos demonstrate precisely where the majority of this critical greenhouse gas is being released, and how that changes over the course of a single year.
The largest meat company in the world, JBS, has started construction of its first commercial-scale factory to make lab-grown meat in Spain.
Using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), US astronomers have detected a new binary millisecond pulsar. The newly found pulsar, designated PSR J0212+5321, belongs to the "redback" subclass and is located relatively nearby.
Europe should brace for more deadly heatwaves driven by climate change, said a sweeping report on Monday, noting the world's fastest-warming continent was some 2.3 degrees Celsius hotter last year than in pre-industrial times.
An object orbiting a star 1,400 light-years away is seriously confronting our notions of what's possible in the Universe.
In a recent paper a UK physicist uses past missions and recent findings to encourage the importance of searching for life in the atmosphere of the solar system's most inhospitable planet, Venus.
The impact of human activity on the Earth system could result in unpredictable chaos from which there is no return, physicists have calculated.
Researchers have created synthetic human embryos using stem cells, according to media reports. Remarkably, these embryos have reportedly been created from embryonic stem cells, meaning they do not require sperm and ova.
Scientists now find that the earliest leafy plants did not have Fibonacci spirals, contradicting our initial assumptions on plant evolution.
Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war.
Phosphorus is the least abundant essential element necessary for life, and its recent detection in icy grains from Enceladus could redefine how we look at life beyond Earth.
