Saturn's Moon Blasting Water Hundreds of Miles into Space

This plume is larger than any previously observed on the moon and may contain the necessary chemicals for life coming from below its icy surface.

A Compact Fusion Reactor Has Hit a Huge Milestone

Ions inside a compact fusion reactor barely a meter across have been heated to the magic figure of 100 million degrees Celsius for the first time in a monumental step towards making nuclear fusion energy a practical reality.

This is the first X-ray taken of a single atom

Now we have the first X-ray taken of a single atom, courtesy of scientists from the US, according to a new paper published in the journal Nature. 

Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain implant firm cleared for human trials

Neuralink said on Thursday that it received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the first human clinical study of implants which are intended to let the brain interface directly with computers.

This Star Exploded So Hard, It Sent Its Core Whizzing Across The Galaxy

Astronomers studying black holes have serendipitously found another rarity: a dead star rocketing away from its birth supernova, leaving a comet-like trail of radio emission in its wake.

Scientists Unravel the Mystery Behind Jupiter's Colour-Changing Stripes

Recent research shows that the changes in Jupiter's magnetic field are causing these mysterious colour shifts. 

Scientists have found a way of making electricity from thin air

Scientists in the US have developed a device that can harvest humidity in the air to create a clean electricity supply. According to the researchers “nearly any material can be turned into a device that harvests electricity from air”.

NASA Scientists Make First Observation of a Polar Cyclone on Uranus

The cyclone on Uranus, compactly shaped with warm and dry air at its core, is much like those spotted at Saturn. Now,cyclones have been identified at the poles on every planet in our solar system except for Mercury.

In a first, astronomers discover 'radiation belt' outside solar system

The belt was discovered around a brown dwarf known as LSR J1835+3259 and is 10 million times more intense than Jupiter's.

Giant Study Identifies Dominant Force Driving Evolution on Earth Today

Mounting evidence suggests humans are now a major driving force of evolution on Earth. We're altering so much of our world that we're not only now driving the climate, but the direction of life itself.

Odds Are Earth Will Cross a Crucial Temperature Threshold Within Five Years

One year in the next five will almost certainly be the hottest on record and there's a two-in-three chance a single year will cross the crucial 1.5 °C global warming threshold.

Astronomers Have Mapped The Paths of Hazardous Asteroids For The Next 1,000 Years

While our census of hazardous NEOs is not nearly complete, we do have reliable maps of nearly all of the potentially hazardous asteroids larger than a kilometer (0.6 mile) across.

Saturn's moon count grows by 62 for a record 145 satellites

New discoveries by a team of astronomers added 62 new moons to Saturn’s existing 83, bringing its total to 145.  Therefore, Saturn is the first planet known to have more than 100 moons.

NASA supercomputer makes predictions to give time to prepare for solar storms

The model uses AI to analyze spacecraft measurements of the solar wind and predict where an impending solar storm will strike, anywhere on Earth, with 30 minutes of warning. This could provide just enough time to prepare for these storms.

Largest-Ever Cosmic Explosion Has Raged for Years

The explosive event labeled AT2021lwx was observed to be ten times brighter than any known supernova. This thing we have never, ever seen before – it just came out of nowhere.
