On Aug. 15, Chinese astronauts Chen Dong and Wang Jie completed a 6.5-hour spacewalk to strengthen the Tiangong space station’s defenses against orbital debris. Working outside...
An international team of astronomers has discovered WD 0525+526, an unusual white dwarf about 128 light-years away, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike typical white dwarfs,...
A team in China has unveiled a lithium battery design with over 600 Wh/kg energy density—double that of Tesla’s best batteries. If scalable, the breakthrough could...
flatband states in CsCr₃Sb₅, a kagome superconductor. This experimental validation connects lattice geometry with emergent superconductivity, opening new pathways for engineered quantum materials, superconductors, and advanced...
Earendel, the farthest object ever seen, was first thought to be a single massive star from the early universe. New findings from JWST suggest it may...
A new mathematical approach has revived previously ignored particles, now called neglectons, and shown how they can work with Ising anyons. By filling in the missing...
Scientists have recreated helium hydride ions, the universe’s first molecules, under lab conditions. The study reveals these ions were far more effective in driving early star...
Mercury’s surface reveals it has been shrinking for billions of years due to cooling and faulting. A new study estimates the planet’s radius has contracted by...
NASA and ISRO’s joint NISAR mission has successfully deployed its 12-meter radar reflector in orbit. This unique satellite, carrying dual L-band and S-band radars, will monitor...
SpaceX’s upcoming 10th Starship test flight, scheduled for Aug. 24 from Starbase, Texas, is a milestone for the company’s ambitious rocket program. The launch will validate...
SpaceX successfully launched 24 new Starlink satellites on Aug. 14, lifting off at 1:05 a.m. EDT from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California aboard a Falcon...
NASA’s PUNCH mission has reached full operational status, enabling continuous monitoring of the Sun and solar wind from multiple vantage points around Earth. This collaborative effort...
In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers observed SN 2023zkd, a supernova that may have been triggered by close interaction with a black hole. Featuring unusual brightness peaks...
A rare NASA satellite image shows 10 sharply defined “dark voids” above Heard Island, a volcanic peak in the southern Indian Ocean. Formed by von Kármán...
NASA’s Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) has made surprising observations in a black hole binary system, detecting a high degree of X-ray polarisation that challenges current...
United Launch Alliance launched its powerful Vulcan Centaur rocket carrying NTS-3, a cutting-edge GPS PNT satellite for the U.S. military. This mission marks the first military...
Europe’s heavy-lift Ariane 6 rocket completed its third successful launch on Aug. 12, 2025, lifting off from Kourou, French Guiana at 8:37 p.m. EDT. The mission...
NASA is partnering with U.S. firms to study boosting the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory’s orbit, aiming to extend its scientific life and advance orbital servicing technologies....
NASA’s Artemis II Orion spacecraft has taken another major step toward launch. After being fueled, it was moved to the Launch Abort System Facility at Kennedy...
The “Cosmic Grapes” galaxy discovery sheds new light on early galaxy formation, revealing unexpected dense, star-forming clumps just 930 million years post-Big Bang. Uncovered through JWST,...
