Researchers at the University of Chicago have created new materials that make OLED displays fully stretchable. Their key advance is an aluminium electrode embedded...

A new study has identified the primary force behind Venus’s extreme superrotating atmosphere: a once-per-day thermal tide driven by solar heating. Using data from...

A new study has linked an unexplained LHAASO detection to a pulsar-powered X-ray nebula, confirming it as a rare PeVatron capable of accelerating particles...

China’s Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory has delivered world-class results after only 59 days of data collection, achieving the most precise measurements yet of two...

China has begun testing UBTech’s Walker humanoid robots at a border facility near Vietnam, aiming to use them for guiding travellers, managing queues and...

NASA’s Perseverance rover may have discovered its first meteorite on Mars, a 31-inch iron-nickel boulder named Phippsaksla found in Jezero Crater. Its pitted, coral-like...

A new analysis of NASA’s Fermi telescope data reveals a faint gamma-ray halo around the Milky Way’s core, matching predictions for annihilating dark-matter particles....

A new study suggests that icy moons such as Mimas and Enceladus may host boiling subsurface oceans triggered by thinning ice shells and falling...

NASA’s fractured comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) dazzled stargazers on Monday night, offering a rare live view of a cosmic object breaking apart after a...

James Webb may have discovered the universe’s earliest supermassive black hole in galaxy GHZ2. Observations reveal high-energy emission lines, challenging existing models of rapid...

NASA’s upcoming Roman Space Telescope is expected to measure seismic waves in over 300,000 red giant stars, far greater than early predictions. These signals...

NASA’s Perseverance rover has identified Phippsaksla, a sculpted, metal-rich boulder in Jezero Crater with an unusually high iron-nickel composition. The rock’s chemistry strongly suggests...

A hardy moss species survived 283 days on the outside of the ISS, enduring vacuum, radiation and extreme temperatures. More than 80% of its...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has been cleared as an Earth threat, but updated observations show a small chance it could hit the Moon in 2032....

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 achieved Florida’s 100th launch of 2025, carrying 29 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. The milestone reflects a surge in launch...

Webb’s mid-infrared images of Apep reveal a rare triple-star system producing vast carbon-rich dust spirals from colliding stellar winds. The two Wolf–Rayet stars and...

A new isotopic study reveals that Theia—the Mars-sized body that struck Earth 4.5 billion years ago to form the Moon—likely originated in the inner...

When LIGO and Virgo detected GW231123 in late 2023, it appeared to show two black holes merging in the so-called mass gap, where theory...

NASA is preparing an unprecedented mission to save the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a key gamma-ray burst monitor launched in 2004 but now rapidly...
