A supermassive black hole in the early Universe has been spotted blasting out powerful jets of plasma that are at least twice as long as the Milky Way is wide.
It's hard to imagine something as big as the Universe not having a center at all, but physics says that's the reality.
The study suggests that emperor penguins, iconic residents of Antarctica, need to be uplisted to threatened on IUCN Red List.
Scientists have observed yet another type of magnetism for the first time within a lab-made crystal, promising to drive improvements in efficiency and speed in electronics as well as open new areas to explore in fundamental physics.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have captured breathtakingly detailed images of two giant exoplanets orbiting a distant sun-like star.
The Wallace Line divides species in Southeast Asia. A deep ocean trench prevents animal migration. Even flying birds rarely cross it.
IBM released its plans for building a system that should push quantum computing into entirely new territory: a system that can both perform useful calculations while catching and fixing errors.
A study found that ocean acidification—the process in which the world’s oceans absorb excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, becoming more acidic—crossed a “planetary boundary” five years ago.
China is going full Jules Verne as it prepares to go where no drill has gone before. As part of its Deep Ocean Drilling Program, the special-built Meng Xiang ("Dream") drill ship is gearing up for a multi-year effort to pierce the Earth's crust.
Dark matter affects how stars move within galaxies, how galaxies build up over time, and how everything in the universe is held together - but no existing tool has directly detected it. While dark matter does not reflect, absorb, or emit light, it can still be indirectly observed by telescopes.
Physicists from the Muon g-2 experiment have released their third measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly.
Astronomers have discovered the largest known cloud of energetic particles surrounding a galaxy cluster - the 20-million-light-year-wide cloud around the galaxy cluster PLCK G287.0+32.9.
In new research, astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope searched for signs of interactions between the magnetic environment and the surfaces of Uranus and its four largest moons: Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon.
Brain-inspired computers could boost AI efficiency—a tantalizing prospect as the industry's energy bills mount.
A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic black hole data sets.
