Supercomputing is transforming scientific research at NASA, aiding discoveries that span from our planet to the farthest reaches of space. At the International Conference for High Performance Computing (SC24), NASA…
A puzzling ‘zebra' pattern in high-frequency radio waves emitted by the Crab Nebula's pulsar might finally have an explanation, according to new research by Mikhail Medvedev, Professor of Physics and…
At the Supercomputing Conference or SC2024, NASA's Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, Nicola Fox, detailed new computational tools intended to advance space science. NASA plans to employ a…
A recent NASA-funded study has observed findings about the molecular processes that might have shaped the origins of life on Earth. Research published in Nature Communications suggests that ribonucleic acid…
A significant revelation about the dietary habits of early human ancestors suggests a strong reliance on plant-based foods rather than meat consumption. Evidence from fossilised teeth of Australopithecus africanus has…
A massive female great white shark measuring 18.4 feet (5.6 meters) in length was found dead on a drumline deployed off Tannum Sands, Queensland, Australia, in August. According to the…
A massive planetary object, believed to be eight times the size of Jupiter, is thought to have passed close to the solar system billions of years ago, potentially altering the…
Researchers have examined (2060) Chiron, a celestial body orbiting between Jupiter and Neptune, revealing its unusual surface and gaseous composition. According to a study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, Chiron…
The concept of heavy dark matter has raised concerns about its implications for the universe's fundamental structure. While dark matter has been theorised as a key component explaining several astrophysical…
Innovative VR headsets have been designed for mice, enabling scientists to study brain activity in highly immersive environments. Using these headsets, researchers can observe neural responses during specific behaviours, potentially…
