Hypersonic flight could turn marathon international trips into one-hour commutes, bringing science fiction closer to reality.

Blocking fatty ceramides could stop acute kidney injury—and possibly revolutionize mitochondrial disease treatment.

A new theory-based approach provides access to the minute transverse motion of quarks within protons. Nuclear physicists have developed a new theoretical framework that allows them to calculate a ...

PET imaging has revealed the first evidence in humans of changes in brain chemistry among people who use both substances.

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...

The ocean’s smallest organisms could hold the biggest clues to Earth’s climate future. The ocean’s tiniest engineers, calcifying plankton, play a vital yet often unnoticed role in regulating Earth’s ...

A new study uncovers how volatile-rich magmas propel diamond-bearing kimberlites from Earth’s depths. If you’ve ever admired a diamond, chances are it originated from a kimberlite. More than 70% of ...

Scientists have traced Lake Erie’s deadly saxitoxin to a cyanobacterium called Dolichospermum. During the warm summer months, Lake Erie becomes a prime environment for the rapid growth of ...

Evidence suggests the universe’s expansion has started to slow, not accelerate. The results imply dark energy is weakening and evolving faster than previously believed.

Using data from NASA’s TESS mission, scientists can estimate the size (radius) of potential planets orbiting distant stars. However, to verify that these objects are truly planets and not low-mass ...
