A brilliant star in our nearest galactic neighbor didn’t go out with a bang, it simply faded from sight, leaving scientists to piece together what could make something so massive vanish so quietly.
A long-running study of more than 131,000 adults links moderate caffeinated coffee or tea intake with a slightly lower risk of dementia and slower cognitive decline. Here is what it found, and what it does not prove.
It started with a handful of unusually tiny bones in Spain, and now researchers say they may point to a plant eating dinosaur that does not fit where it is supposed to on the family tree.
Jupiter has 79 known moons, the four largest of which are known as the 'Galilean moons'. These four worlds are among the most fascinating in our entire solar system.
Scientists propose a new tool for the shed of dark matter research. Let's use exoplanets, rogue planets, and brown dwarfs as detectors for gravitationally captured dark matter.
Scientists at the Argonne National Laboratory may have found a better, more efficient, and cheaper solution for producing hydrogen without consuming fossil fuels.
Despite what many people think, space is far from empty. Every day, the Earth sweeps up tons of debris left over from the solar system's formation as it orbits around the sun.
Researchers discovered that bacteria, like most organisms on earth, have a circadian rhythm. This new understanding may have a significant impact on scientific research into drug delivery and biotech.
Access to clean and safe drinking water is becoming more and more of an issue for millions of people around the globe. Scientists from the University of South Australia devised an affordable technology to solve this issue.
Commercial space travel becomes more viable by the year, which means we should start thinking about healthy exercise protocols for passengers, especially when it comes to longer trips.
A group of researchers led by the University of California Museum of Paleontology director, Charles Marshall, asked themselves how many tyrannosaurus rexes ever wandered the earth.
The world of particle physics shakes as it turns out that muons behave differently than predicted by the standard model. Is the standard model broken? Did scientists find evidence for new physics?
Scientists analyzed data from NASA's earlier rover Curiosity and discovered that Mars didn't dry out over a long period of time; instead, it had alternating wet and dry periods in its younger years.
Almost a billion tires get dumped each year, and a significant portion of them get burned or end up in landfills. Scientists have found a new use for them
