Tiny factories float inside our cells and provide them with almost all the energy they need: the mitochondria. Their effectiveness decreases when we get older, but also when we face many diseases such as diabetes, cancer or Parkinson's. This is why scientists ...

International team develops a new method to determine the origin of stardust in meteorites. Analysis of meteorite content has been crucial in advancing our knowledge of the origin and evolution of our solar system. Some meteorites also contain grains of ...

... ‌. Our solar system's ice giants are bizarre worlds of extremes… if you were born at one of Uranus's poles, for example, you would be a middle-aged man at sunset and a very old, 84-year old before it was time for a second sunrise and by the time of a ...

The MAVEN team was surprised to find that the atmosphere pulsed exactly three times per night, and only during Mars' spring and autumn. NASA MAVEN Spacecraft Shows Vast Areas Of Martian Night Sky Pulsing In UV Light. New data from NASA's MAVEN ...

The leader of Russia's civil space program appears to be increasingly disengaged from reality. In recent months Dmitry Rogozin, the chief of Roscosmos, has given a series of interviews in which he has made all manner of big promises about the supposedly ...

NASA scientists say that Ceres, a dwarf planet in the Asteroid Belt, is still holding onto pockets of a subsurface, liquid water ocean. NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA. Remnants of an ancient water ocean are buried beneath the icy crust of dwarf planet ...

A new paper out today in Nature Geoscience identifies fertilizer and pesticide applications to croplands as the largest source of sulfur in the environment—up to 10 times higher than the peak sulfur load seen in the second half of the 20th century, during the ...

STARGAZERS can see Venus at its brightest this week. This best part is you won't need any fancy equipment, just the naked eye and the right directions. Earlier this year, Venus came very close to the Moon. 2. Earlier this year, Venus came very close to the ...
