The remarkable natural light show is the result of electrons colliding with atoms in the upper reaches of Earth’s atmosphere.

When 3I/ATLAS swept past the sun in late October 2025, it became only the third confirmed visitor from interstellar space ...

MIT scientists have achieved the first-ever lab synthesis of verticillin A, a complex fungal compound discovered in 1970. Its delicate structure stalled chemists for decades, despite differing from ...

Scientists were able to manipulate a calcium monohydride molecular ion — made up of one atom of hydrogen and one atom of ...

Seattle biotech startup Rhizome Research has emerged from stealth with technology for creating small-molecule drug candidates ...

Electronics keep shrinking, but silicon is starting to run into physical limits. To go smaller, researchers are turning to ...

Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to bits of quantum data. Translating these quantum technologies from obedient ...

The Southwest Research Institute-led Ultraviolet Spectrograph (UVS) aboard NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has made valuable observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which in July became the ...

For nearly two centuries, textbooks blamed icy spills on pressure and friction, but new simulations tell another story. The ...

Quick clay collapse can be both dangerous and costly. New research will help us understand more about why the clay is so ...

Scientists have developed a new technique that doubles the amount of hydrogen produced when splitting water molecules with ...

NASA’s Europa Clipper spacecraft has recorded important new observations of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS using its ...
