With a fatality rate 20 times that of COVID-19, and no vaccine, Disease X could swiftly bring humanity to its knees.
The latest calculations from several science agencies showing Earth obliterated global heat records last year may seem scary. But scientists worry that what's behind those numbers could be even worse.
But according to a philosopher of language and mathematics, we might have been interpreting Newton's precise wording of his first law of motion slightly wrong all along.
ESA's Mars Express has revisited one of Mars's most mysterious features to clarify its composition. Its findings suggest layers of water ice stretching several kilometers below ground—the most water ever found in this part of the planet.
Melting at the interface between ice sheets and the ocean in the Arctic is much more extensive than previously estimated. Melting in the Arctic could have catastrophic effects on the rest of the world.
New research shows the early lunar crust which makes up the surface of the Moon was considerably enriched in water more than 4 billion years ago, counter to previously held understanding.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have detected the earliest known black hole. Located more than 13 billion light-years away, it dates to a mere 400 million years after the Big Bang.
Beta Pictoris has been revealed by many telescopes, even Hubble, to be home to the most amazing disk. Over the years the second disc was revealed.
A volcanic eruption that has engulfed homes in an Icelandic fishing port confirms that a long-dormant faultline running under the country has woken up, threatening to belch out lava with little warning for years to come.
Cloning primates is complicated. In most attempts, embryos and newborns die. But researchers in China have said they've cloned a rhesus monkey that's doing well.
India is changing drastically under the Earth's surface, as a new study has revealed that the Indian Continental Plate could be splitting in two.
Scientists achieve groundbreaking room-temperature quantum coherence for 100 nanoseconds, propelling molecular qubits closer to practical quantum computing.
The discovery of giant superclusters of galaxies are challenging our very understanding of the Universe.
NASA astronomers have discovered an unexpected "signal" coming from outside our galaxy, which they can't explain.
Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found a rare fast radio burst (FRB). This new FRB is particularly weird because it erupted halfway across the universe, making it the farthest and most powerful example detected to date.
