After two decades of debate, researchers say they finally have definitive proof that the Silverpit Crater, a buried structure in the North Sea, was created by an asteroid strike more than 40 million years ago.

The crater, discovered in 2002 about…

A maelstrom of star formation close to the center of our galaxy has been revealed in two different wavelengths by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), its beautiful images highlighting the intensity of star-birth in the region and deepening…

New research from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute reveals that changes in lysosomes – the cellular recycling centers tied to longevity – can be passed from parents to offspring in the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans).

A mysterious object hurtling through space has been identified as a rare “interstellar object,” only the third of its kind ever seen.

In July, NASA reported its ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) survey telescope in Chile…

Scientists have created an artificial intelligence tool called SCIGEN that can potentially speed up the hunt for novel quantum materials. Such unusual substances, displaying odd electronic and magnetic characteristics, are promising candidates to…

A million-year-old human skull suggests that the origins of modern humans may reach back far deeper in time than previously thought and raises the possibility that Homo sapiens first emerged outside of Africa.

Leading scientists reached this…
