Most stars in the Milky Way just hang around doing pretty normal star things, but one particular star just will not.
Google on Tuesday said it would introduce AI-generated answers to online queries, in one of the biggest changes to its world leading search engine in 25 years.
Across Europe, Asia and North America, surface air temperatures were more than 2°C higher in June, July and August 2023 than the average summer temperature between AD1 and 1890, as reconstructed from tree ring records.
Nasa says its Perseverance rover has essentially completed the job it was asked to do when it landed on Mars in February 2021.
Our reliance on plastic has become a huge problem, which is why researchers are excited about a new type of material - one that comes with built-in biodegrading capabilities, due to the bacterial spores living inside it.
The same geomagnetic storms causing the auroras can cause havoc with our planet’s human-made infrastructure.
Around five and half millenia ago, northern Africa went through a dramatic transformation. The Sahara desert expanded and grasslands, forests and lakes favoured by humans disappeared. Humans were forced to retreat.
Artificial intelligence can learn to lie and cheat, and this is a serious risk that requires regulatory and legislative measures to ensure that it remains a useful technology, rather than becoming a threat to human knowledge.
One group of scientists thinks that we may already have detected technosignatures from a technological civilization's Dyson spheres, but the detection is hidden in our vast troves of astronomical data.
Research shows inhaled plastic particles deposit in the respiratory system, affecting health based on size, shape, and breathing rate.
A new discovery could help to turn the tides in the war against greenhouse gases. Scottish scientists have created new molecules which, thanks to their hollow and cage-like structure, can store greenhouse gases.
Could AI be the universe's "great filter" – a threshold so hard to overcome that it prevents most life from evolving into space-faring civilizations?
Although the map covers just a fraction of the organ—a whole brain is a million times larger—that piece contains roughly 57,000 cells, about 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and nearly 150 million synapses.
An international team of researchers has produced the first sharp radio maps of the universe at low frequencies. Thanks to a new calibration technique, they bypassed the disturbances of the Earth's ionosphere.
April marked another "remarkable" month of record-breaking global air and sea surface temperature averages, according to a new report by the EU's climate monitor published on Wednesday.
