Astronomers have discovered signs of complex organic molecules, considered precursors to sugars and amino acids, within a planet-forming disc. Using the powerful Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter ...

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a rare, retrograde-orbiting planet in a tight binary star system. Most stars throughout the Universe are part of binary or multiple star systems. In these ...

Scientists have imaged atomic thermal vibrations for the first time, revealing hidden patterns that could redefine quantum and nano-electronic device design. Scientists studying atomic-level behavior ...

Unlike active galaxies that endlessly devour nearby matter, these black holes remain in slumber, stirring only momentarily to consume an unlucky passing star. Astronomers from MIT, Columbia University ...

Scientists propose a groundbreaking experiment using quantum computers and atomic clocks to test whether gravity alters the fundamental rules of quantum theory. A recent study featured in the journal ...

A new peer-reviewed article argues that grapes deserve a place among today’s top superfoods. A recent article published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry takes a closer lo ...

Perseverance has uncovered unusual, basalt-rich Martian spherules that likely formed in violent explosions—either from meteors or lava.
