KIC 8462852, more commonly known as Tabby's star, has dazzled scientists and the general public alike for years now.

A team of researchers brought us closer to finding out at what point gravity wins over matter and collapses neutron stars into black holes

An international team of scientists has measured a new, higher value for the speed at which the universe expands. They used two massive galaxies as "gravitational lenses" to investigate the light from remote objects. The study was led by the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching in Germany.

Pure fruit juice has been a popular drink for ages. It tastes good and it was viewed as part of a healthy diet. But is it healthy? Should we cut it out of our diet or not?

A very interesting study on dangerous bacteria that can survive on our money won an Ig Nobel prize

Dark matter, by its very nature, is unseen. We cannot observe it with telescopes, and nor have particle physicists had any luck detecting it via experiments.

Astronomers discovered water vapor in the atmosphere of super-earth K2-18b, an exoplanet that is orbiting its host star in the habitable zone. According to scientists, k2-18b might potentially be the most habitable out of all exoplanets that have been discovered up until this day. The researchers published their findings in the science journal Nature Astronomy

Astrophysicists normally assume that huge systems like the universe, are indifferent to details of smaller systems contained within it. Scientists from the University of Hawaii at Manoa (Kevin Croker and Joel Weiner) have shown that this hypothesis can fail when it comes to compact objects that remain after the collapse and explosion of huge stars.

Space elevators are a fascinating concept as they will bring down the cost of space travel enormously. If we really want space travel to become available for the masses in the future we should invest in this concept. Two astronomers recently proposed a new concept building on the idea of a space elevator called a spaceline. Enjoy this curated article on the subject:

The Brazilian rain forest has been at the center of world wide attention in the past month because of huge forest fires. However it is possible that the worst is yet to come.

Most people experience a struggle with weight gain as they advance in age. Up until this point, it has been unclear why exactly we have trouble to keep our weight down.

A growing number of people worldwide are dying of infections because more and more bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics. New species are urgently needed. A promising resistance inhibitor is now in development by the research group of Nathaniel Martin, professor of Biological chemistry.

Scientists from the Dutch Maastricht University and the Belgian Hasselt University succeeded for the first time in restoring the production of the substance myelin.

It is generally considered that dating is essential for teens to develop social skills and build their identity. However, a recent study from the University of Georgia has shown that not dating can, be equally good and in some aspects, even be better for their development.

When it comes to the origin of life on Earth and how it has evolved over time there are still a lot of questions in our mind. It turns out that the moon could play a key role in solving a lot of the mysteries.

Scientists have singled out a gene that is believed to affect how much sleep someone needs.

Machine learning can help with predicting the outcome of complex chemical reactions aiding in the discovery of new drugs

Venus is the second planet from the sun, and in addition to its similar chemical makeup, it is approximately the same size and mass as Earth. It’s sometimes even called ‘Earth’s sister planet’. Although it is a fascinating planet, it has been ignored in the past few decades. Is it time for a new Venus exploration mission? Enjoy this curated article

Space law is a topic that has long fascinated us, and with humanity's slow but inevitable expansion into space, it is gradually becoming a more relevant topic.

Scientists keep making incredible discoveries in the field of paleontology. The latest of which is regarding the Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most well-known dinosaurs and popularized in many films.

Recently researchers supported by Stanford University and others discovered a previously unknown gigantic extinction,

Researchers are able to transform greenhouse gases into useful chemical components using a new biologically-based mechanism.
