Nasa's Artemis II moon mission created large disturbances in the ionosphere, a region of Earth's upper atmosphere that GPS signals travel through. It reportedly disrupted signals across the US. The findings have sparked questions about the long-term impact on GPS and other navigation technologies as powerful rocket launches become increasingly frequent
The legendary space telescope is slowly losing altitude, prompting Nasa to look beyond its own resources for a possible solution. Here's what could happen next.
Archival observations trace Rubin dwarf-planet candidate 2026 ED138 across 89 years and refine its orbit, size and shape constraints.
Crows can make visual decisions in just 235 milliseconds, nearly twice as fast as humans, with brain activity distinguishing movement directions within 70 milliseconds.

The conventional Haber-Bosch process, which supplies nearly all of the world’s ammonia, operates under extreme heat and pressure, consuming about 1–2% of global energy and releasing roughly 1.6 tons of CO2 per ton of ammonia produced.
Black holes are mysteriously the most fascinating and dreadful part of the universe. Scientists have been trying to know how they work.
Astronomers have identified a small asteroid named 2026 QQ8 that has temporarily become a natural satellite of Earth, commonly referred to as a mini-moon.
Groundwater table depth (GWTD) influences how water moves through soils, rivers, and ecosystems. Hence, it also affects how water and energy move between the land and atmosphere.
New research suggests Earth may have generated its own water 45 billion years ago through chemical reactions between iron-rich rocks and hydrogen
Time has a way of taking almost everything away. Bodies decay. Tissues disappear, and even bones gradually change as millions of years pass.
How do ions and water interact at the atomic level in nanochannels grafted with polymer brushes using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations? Siddhartha Das of the University of Maryland and his team are working on answering this question.
