Scientists demonstrate that recycled human waste can unlock nutrients in Martian dust, offering a new path for farming on Mars.

After decades of debate, researchers say that they have found the clearest evidence yet for this rare form of carbon ...

In a series of experiments at Johns Hopkins University, Lily Zhao fired tiny samples of a microorganism with a room-sized gas ...

There is a near-infinite number of material candidates out there—and simply not enough time to hunker down in the lab and ...

SETI researchers may have missed alien signals due to a cosmic phenomenon that distorts narrowband radio waves, new research says.

Miniature organs grown in the lab can organize themselves into complex shapes, which enables scientists to use them to study disease. The trouble is they never do it the same way twice, which has made ...

Most materials, especially metals and ceramics, are crystals. Their atoms are arranged in three-dimensional lattices that repeat the same exact pattern, over and over again. But there's a well-known ...

Scientists simulated an asteroid impact, and Deinococcus radiodurans’ cell membranes made it through. This suggests that life ...

Theoretically, it’s impossible for us to perceive a 4D creature. That is, unless it broke into our three-dimensional reality.

If you’re in that boat, if you’re stressing over whether Project Hail Mary is actually good, please stop worrying. It’s ...

Comets are often treated as leftovers, but sometimes the leftovers become the primary focus. That is the case with 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object seen crossing the solar system, ...

Humans could have come from Mars, scientists have said. A study by Johns Hopkins University has found that alien microbes could travel between planets on asteroids, meaning humans could be descended ...
