A “natural history” approach to space exploration would take into account instead developments in the fields of physics, ...

Space is cold and has abundant solar energy — the very things data centers need. Experts tell us it’s not that simple.

Quantum mechanics and relativity are the two pillars of modern physics. However, for over a century, their treatment of space ...

NASA’s Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) has reached its destination of the first Sun-Earth Lagrange point ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.

It sounds like something from the plot of Interstellar, but this plan to beam precious data back to Earth—before it’s lost ...

For centuries, the principle of symmetry has guided physicists towards more fundamental truths, but now a slew of shocking findings suggest a far stranger idea from quantum theory could be a deeper dr ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Eric and Wendy Schmidt are backing a start-up-like approach to building a giant space telescope and powerful ground ...

Scientists at Fermilab’s MicroBooNE experiment have ruled out the existence of the elusive sterile neutrino, a particle proposed for decades to explain puzzling neutrino behavior. Their high-precision ...

Both NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory caught these two galaxies in a close embrace.
