University physical scientists synthesize new superconducting material, developing a process that may help ‘break down barriers and open the door to many potential applications.’
Compressing simple molecular solids with hydrogen at extremely high pressures, University of Rochester engineers and physicists have, for the first time, created material that is superconducting...
The Expedition 63 crew members were sent to the International Space Station (ISS) aboard a Soyuz MS-15 spacecraft on 17 April 2020. The mission is considered the longest to the ISS, due to its six-month-long duration, an unusual double-length expedition period.
The crew of Expedition 63 has completed its six-month...
Research confirms models on the evolution of our universe.
More than half of the matter in our universe has so far remained hidden from us. However, scientists had a hunch where it might be: In so-called filaments, unfathomably large thread-like structures of hot gas that surround and connect galaxies and...
This advisory was updated on Monday, Oct. 19, to reflect that the 3 p.m Oct. 19 briefing will be a teleconference, not aired on NASA TV, and to add a social media question-and-answer session later that afternoon.
NASA will broadcast coverage of a first for the agency as its Origins,...
Since their discovery in 2007, astronomers have looked tirelessly to discover the sources of millisecond-duration 'fast radio bursts' that come from space. Currently, a class of neutron stars with powerful magnetic fields are the leading candidate for the origin of the blasts.
On April 28, astronomers detected a burst of...
A US astronaut and two Russian cosmonauts have touched down safely on the Kazakhstan steppe, completing a 196-day mission that began with the first launch under lockdown conditions.
NASA astronaut Captain Chris Cassidy and Russian cosmonauts Anatoly Ivanishin and Ivan Vagner landed around 150km southeast of the Kazakh city of...
Exposure to wildfire smoke affects the body’s respiratory and cardiovascular systems almost immediately, according to new research from the University of British Columbia’s School of Population and Public Health.
In a study published today in Environmental Health Perspectives, researchers found that exposure to elevated levels of fine particulate matter during...
Long before we had Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video to keep us occupied at night, humans used to delight in another form of relaxing entertainment: stargazing. And in just a few days, you’ll be able to catch a celestial show that humanity hasn’t seen in nearly 800 years.
On...
New study led by the University of South Florida has uncovered one of the reasons jellyfish have come to be known as the "world's most efficient swimmer." Brad Gemmell, associate professor of integrative biology, found jellyfish produce two vortex rings, which are donut-shaped bodies of fluid underneath their translucent...
