Imagine peering into the night sky with a powerful telescope and seeing galaxies scattered across the cosmic landscape. Some are so distant that their light has been travelling for over 13 billion ...

Scientists at the University of Manchester and The Australian National University have created a new molecule that may soon enable ultra-compact hard drives (the size of a postage stamp) by allowing ...

For millennia, human beings stared up at the night sky and were held in awe by the Moon. To many ancient cultures, it represented a deity, and its cycles were accorded divine significance. By the time ...

Jupiter has 79 known moons, the four largest of which are known as the 'Galilean moons'. These four worlds are among the most fascinating in our entire solar system. In this article, we will attempt ...

Scientists designed a new 3D zinc-manganese nano-alloy anode enabling faster-charging speeds while also reducing the risk of catching fire significantly in resulting batteries. According to the ...

Recently we made an attempt to put incomprehensible astronomical distances into a human perspective. We started by looking at the vast distances within our solar system, moving on to distances within ...

Saturn may be the most recognizable planet in our solar system due to its gorgeous rings. But, perhaps due to their iconic nature, they are a common topic of discussion because there is disagreement ...

Rogue planets, also referred to as interstellar, orphan, or nomad planets, are planets that do not orbit a star but instead roam through space on their own, orbiting the center of our galaxy. One of ...

Scientists at the Monash Energy Institute have developed a longer-lasting, lighter, and more ecologically responsible alternative to conventional lithium-ion batteries. By employing a glucose-based ...

One of the downsides of Solar panels (on Earth) is that they can only generate energy during the day. However, an Australian-based research team is working on a solution to this problem. As of yet, ...

Scientists wanted to be able to see what cells and diseases are doing inside our body on a cellular level, in real-time. A group of researchers developed a groundbreaking microscope to do this.

A few of the deeper returning questions people engage with in conversations and discussions about cosmology relate to what happened before the big bang and what instigated the big bang in the first ...
