Partly motivated by the NASA Deep Space Atomic Clock and the Parker Solar Probe, we show that space quantum sensors present new opportunities for ultralight dark matter searches, especially for dark matter states bound to the Sun.

In their paper published in the journal Science, the group describes analyzing years of seismic data from the site and building supercomputing models. Kari Cooper with the University of California Davis has published a Perspective piece on the ...

The red planet may have once been home to an abundance of microbes. New studies suggest it's possible that some hardy microbes managed to survive underground in a frozen state.

A strange system of trenches on Mars may be hiding an enormous plume of molten rock rising from the planet's core. This could upend our ideas of Mars as a mostly geologically static world and explain why so many marsquakes start near these fissures, ...
