Evidence is mounting that a secret lies beneath the dusty red plains of Mars, one that could redefine our view of the Red Planet: a vast reservoir of liquid water, locked deep in the crust.
The half-tonne Soviet vehicle malfunctioned after its launch in 1972 and never made it out of Earth's orbit for the next 53 years.
NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory helped diagnose the cause behind a large kink in a huge filament near the center of the Milky Way.
The early Solar System was like a debris field where objects smashed into each other in cascades of collisions.
A new satellite radar study has now found evidence that the nation's 28 most populous cities are all buckling under the pressure of urbanization, drought, or rising sea levels, to varying extents.
The technology may one day be used to create cyborg micro-robots that perform biomedical functions via sensors or other electronics printed directly onto their bodies.
New views of TOI-421 b by JWST gives insight into how the most common type of planet in the galaxy might form.
In a sweeping new study of more than 13,000 urban areas worldwide, researchers have mapped air pollution levels and carbon dioxide emissions, providing comprehensive global analysis of urban environmental quality.
Climate scientists reveal that millions of today's young people will live through unprecedented lifetime exposure to heatwaves, crop failures, river floods, droughts, wildfires and tropical storms under current climate policies.
A new study from eight countries shows that premature deaths attributable to consumption of ultraprocessed foods (UPFs) increase significantly according to their share in individuals' total energy intake.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have directly detected the faint glow of a planet that’s colder than any world whose light has been directly observed.
In a world first, Japanese researchers flew a lightning-proof drone in a thunderstorm, using it to induce and direct natural lightning strikes. The team is now working on how this flying lightning rod might capture lightning energy.
Most of the lights in the new JWST-Hubble composite image are not bright stars, but galaxies, stretching back almost as far across space-time as the beginning of the Universe.
Earth-like exoplanets might be more common throughout the Milky Way than previously believed, astronomers report in a new study.
