Astronomers Witness Dark Matter Go Rogue in Epic Galaxy Cluster Collision

Two giant clusters of galaxies observed in the process of colliding are going so hard that their dark matter has basically detached from normal matter and flown ahead.

'comet' Tail of Speeding Star Cluster Solves 100-Year-Old Cosmic Puzzle

Terzan 5 star cluster is a copious producer of cosmic rays, because it contains a large population of rapidly rotating, incredibly dense and magnetised millisecond pulsars – which accelerate cosmic rays up to extremely high speeds.

Mid-Crust of Mars May Contain "Oceans of Liquid Water"

New data about the Martian crust gathered by NASA's InSight lander allowed geophysicists to estimate that the amount of groundwater could cover the entire planet to a depth of between 1 and 2 km.

An Evil Twin Universe Could Be Behind Our Universe's Rapid Expansion

Something is making the fabric of our Universe grow at an ever-accelerating rate, and scientists are truly stumped on what it could be.

Europe's Gaia Telescope Spots Hundreds of Hidden, Lurking Moons

The European Space Agency's Gaia mission spotted hundreds of potential moons, orbiting around more than 350 previously unknown asteroids lurking within the solar system.

Quantum Entanglement in Neurons May Actually Explain Consciousness

Chinese scientists explain how entangled photons emitted by carbon-hydrogen bonds in nerve cell insulation could synchronize activity within the brain.

1.2km drill core provides unique insight into Earth's mantle

Below the Earth's crust is our planet's thickest layer, the mantle, which influences many processes - such as volcanism, crust formation, and its magnetic field.

'Continents' of Venus Hint at Surprising Link to Early Earth

Venus and Earth seem like twins who, through dramatically different circumstances and choices, ended up leading dramatically different lives.

Carvings in Ancient Temple in Turkey Could Be Earth's Oldest Calendar

The ancient monument of Göbekli Tepe in Türkiye is truly one of the most magnificent ancient marvels on our planet. The temple complex that thrived as a cultural epicenter more than 10,000 years ago is the oldest monument of its kind.

Tropical Andean Glaciers Show Unprecedented Retreat Due to Climate Change

Andean tropical glaciers are retreating at an unprecedented rate, exposing ice-free areas not seen for 11,700 years since the Holocene epoch began. This phenomenon highlights the significant regional impacts of human-induced climate change.

The Great Barrier Reef is the hottest it's been in 400 years

The results are sobering confirmation that global warming will continue to damage the Great Barrier Reef.  If humanity does not divert from its current course, our generation will likely witness the demise of one of Earth's great natural wonders.

China launches its rival to Elon Musk’s Starlink internet satellites

By 2025, China is aiming to deploy 648 satellites of the "Thousand Sails Constellation" to create global internet coverage, according to state media CCTV.

Higgs Particles And Tiny Black Holes Could Have Destroyed Our Universe

Although our Universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk - walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff.

Valuable "super-black" material derived from plasma-treated wood

Canadian scientists have created a super-black substance that has the potential to be cheaper, hardier and easier to manufacture … and it's made out of wood. Trademarked as Nxylon the material reflect less than 1% of visible light.

Naturally occurring graphene discovered on the Moon for the first time

Chinese researchers have recently discovered a naturally occurring few-layer graphene for the first time in the lunar samples brought back by Chang’e-5 probe, which provides new insights into the Moon’s geology.
