NASA said Dec. 9 that it lost contact with the spacecraft three days earlier after MAVEN failed…
Since it began operations in 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has allowed scientists to make incredible strides in our understanding of the cosmos — especially its early epoch. However, one lingering cosmological mystery that the…
A new mesoporous polymer combines optical transparency higher than glass with thermal conductivity lower than air. The material, which is easily made at the square-metre scale and should last decades, could be used to make insulating windows for…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has found the strongest evidence yet that a small, rocky planet outside our solar system has air, even though it orbits precariously close to its…
SHENZHEN, China, Dec. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Huawei Digital Power’s Commercial and Industrial Hybrid Cooling Grid Forming Energy Storage System (C&I GFM ESS) has successfully passed a stringent extreme ignition test…
Certain strains of Escherichia coli produce the natural product colibactin, which is a chemically unstable genotoxin, and increasing evidence suggests that colibactin is associated with colorectal carcinogenesis. Previous work indicted that…
An international team of researchers led by scientists from the Max Planck Harvard Research Center for the Ancient Mediterranean (Leipzig, Germany) and the University of Bologna (Italy) has reconstructed, for the first time, the genetic and…
Astronomers have announced they’ve catalogued the 40,000th near-Earth asteroid.
The announcement marks a milestone in the detection of space rocks that orbit close to Earth and, scientists say, highlights the threat posed by space rocks to our…
Scientists have tested, for the first time, how biodegradable wet wipes break down when flushed rather than composted, discovering that most wipes remain after five weeks – a finding the research team say challenges the marketing of these…
