NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover is exploring a new region of interest the team is calling “Krokodillen” that may contain some of the oldest rocks on Mars. The area has been on the Perseverance science team’s wish list because it marks an important boundary between the oldest rocks of Jezero Crater’s rim and those of the plains beyond the crater.
What if ultrafast pulses of light could operate computers at speeds a million times faster than today’s best processors? A team of scientists, including researchers from the University of Arizona, are working to make that possible.
Researchers have developed an extremely thin, flexible imager that could be useful for noninvasively acquiring images from inside the body. The new technology could one day enable early and precise disease detection, providing critical insights to guide timely and effective treatment.
When the JWST came to life and began observations, one of its first jobs was to gaze back in time at the early universe. The Assembly of Galaxies is one of the space telescope’s four main science themes, and when it observed the universe’s first galaxies, it uncovered a mystery. Some of them appear to have supermassive black holes (SMBH) in their centers that are fueling active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, they’re not emitting X-rays, which is one of the hallmarks of AGN.
Rocket launches are amazing spectacles, but close-up viewers know to bring a set of earplugs or earmuffs to protect their hearing. However, the boom of a launch isn’t reserved for those who sign up to watch it—it can also be heard and felt in surrounding communities.
California stargazers will soon be able to witness a dazzling celestial sight composed of billions of stars.
Billions of years ago, water flowed on the surface of Mars. But scientists have an incomplete picture of how the red planet’s water cycle worked.
The Higgs boson, discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012, plays a central role in the Standard Model of particle physics, endowing elementary particles such as quarks with mass through its interactions. The Higgs boson’s interaction with the heaviest “third-generation” quarks—top and bottom quarks—has been observed and found to be in line with the Standard Model.
Analyzing massive datasets from nuclear physics experiments can take hours or days to process, but researchers are working to radically reduce that time to mere seconds using special software being developed at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley and Oak Ridge national laboratories.
On April 14, 2025, Blue Origin launched six women—Aisha Bowe, Amanda Nguyễn, Gayle King, Katy Perry, Kerianne Flynn and Lauren Sánchez—on a suborbital journey to the edge of space.
If you’ve ever watched a flock of birds move in perfect unison or seen ripples travel across a pond, you’ve witnessed nature’s remarkable ability to coordinate motion. Recently, a team of scientists and engineers at Rice University discovered a similar phenomenon on a microscopic scale, where tiny magnetic particles driven by rotating fields spontaneously move along the edges of clusters driven by invisible “edge currents” that follow the rules of an unexpected branch of physics.
Quantum computers hold the potential to revolutionize the possibilities for solving difficult computational problems that would take classical computers many years to resolve. But for those computers to meet their potential, they need working quantum bits, or qubits. The hunt for a better qubit is a major project of researchers around the world, who are trying different materials and methods in their search.
Multiple space agencies will send missions to the moon this decade and the next, with plans to establish infrastructure that will allow for many returns. This includes NASA’s Lunar Gateway and Artemis Base Camp, the Chinese-Roscosmos International Lunar Research Station (ILRS), and the ESA’s Moon Village. With so many space agencies and commercial space companies focused on lunar exploration, there are also multiple plans for establishing research facilities and scientific experiments.
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit regular radio wave pulses and beams of magnetic radiation, which can sometimes be detected from Earth. These pulsating stars are dense remnants of massive stars whose life terminated in a supernova explosion.
