A testing replica of the “backbone” of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and a full-scale model of the agency’s Parker Solar Probe are now on permanent display at the Smithsonian’s National Air and ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new computational method that could accelerate the search for next-generation materials capable of turning sunlight into useful chemical energy. The work focuses ...

System at the cross road The humanitarian system has been on a transformative journey for many years, anchored in the vital principle of saving lives and the dignity of the people affected by natural ...

A tiny burst of motion inside a molecule may be enough to shove an electron across a solar material almost as fast as nature permits. That is the striking result from a University of Cambridge-led ...

Scientists explore the Interplanetary Habitable Zone framework to evaluate habitability beyond the Goldilocks Zone, considering energy, radiation, transport, and material factors in planetary systems.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that electrons can be fired across solar cell materials in just 18 femtoseconds, a timescale so brief that light itself travels only about ...

The standard story of the origin of our solar system has gone like this: 4.6 billion years ago, a giant cloud of dust hung frozen in space. Then the explosion of a nearby star caused part of that dust ...

Scientists have watched in fascination as interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, only the third of its kind spotted in the solar system so far, hurtled past several planets and made its closest pass of the Sun ...

An exoplanetary system about 116 light-years from Earth could flip the script on how planets form, according to researchers who discovered it using telescopes from NASA and the European Space Agency, ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...
