NASA's Perseverance rover finds nickel and gemstone crystals hinting at ancient Mars life

NASA's Perseverance rover has made two significant discoveries on the rim of Jezero Crater that together strengthen the case for ancient microbial life on Mars. Scientists have identified microscopic corundum crystals — the mineral that forms rubies and sapphires on Earth — alongside......

SpaceX launches 119 payloads from California on Transporter-16 rideshare mission

SpaceX launched its Transporter-16 rideshare mission Monday morning from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, sending 119 payloads to a sun-synchronous orbit aboard a Falcon 9 rocket. One of the largest dedicated smallsat rideshare flights in SpaceX history, the mission lifted off from Space Launch......

Researchers build a phonon laser that could one day replace GPS

Researchers at the University of Rochester and the Rochester Institute of Technology have developed a new type of laser that manipulates sound particles rather than light, a breakthrough they say could eventually contribute to navigation systems immune to jamming. The findings, published March 30 in......

Studies pinpoint Sun's magnetic engine deep below surface

Two recent studies reshape scientists' view of the Sun's hidden magnetic interior. Researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology analyzed nearly 30 years of solar oscillation data from NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, Solar Dynamics Observatory and the ground-based Global......

Rice University researchers recover 95% of battery metals using plasma and citric acid

Researchers at Rice University have developed a new lithium-ion battery recycling method that recovers nearly 95 percent of valuable metals by combining microwave-induced plasma with citric acid, the same compound found in lemons. The patented process, published in the journal Advanced Materials, offers......

Johns Hopkins team releases detailed atlas of human brain development

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers and global collaborators unveiled the most comprehensive cellular atlas of the developing human neocortex. The study integrates data from nearly 200 published works and over 30 million cells. Published in Nature Neuroscience on March 25, 2026, it maps the formation......

NASA clears Artemis II for April 1 moon mission launch

Four astronauts stand one week from becoming the first humans to fly toward the moon in over 50 years. NASA targets April 1 for the Artemis 2 launch, a 10-day test flight. The crew will loop around the moon's far side and return aboard the Orion spacecraft atop the Space Launch System rocket. The......

General Fusion develops diagnostic method for large-scale fusion machine

General Fusion, a Canadian company working toward the commercialization of nuclear fusion technology, announced the publication of a peer-reviewed study in Fusion Science and Technology. The paper introduces an innovative diagnostic method to measure ion temperatures in the Lawson Machine 26 (LM26),......

Astronomers discover 87 stellar streams reshaping Milky Way research

Astronomers at the University of Michigan have identified 87 stellar streams linked to globular clusters in the Milky Way, dramatically expanding the number of known structures and providing new tools to study dark matter and galactic evolution. The findings, published in the Astrophysical Journal Supplements,......

Astronomers map 12 billion years of a spiral galaxy’s evolution

Astronomers have reconstructed the full 12 billion year history of a spiral galaxy for the first time, offering new insight into how galaxies form and evolve over cosmic time. The study, led by the Center for Astrophysics Harvard and Smithsonian and published in Nature Astronomy, focuses on the massive......

Webb telescope detects thickest atmospheric haze ever seen on exoplanet

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified an exceptionally dense atmospheric haze surrounding the exoplanet Kepler-51d, blocking efforts to determine its chemical composition and origin, according to a study published in the Astronomical Journal. An international team led by researchers......

Scientists detect full set of genetic building blocks in Ryugu samples

Scientists have identified all five canonical nucleobases, the molecular units that encode genetic information, in samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu. The findings, published on March 15 in Nature Astronomy, support the theory that carbon-rich asteroids delivered key chemical ingredients to early......

Yale researchers identify circular RNA that boosts HIV replication

Scientists at Yale University have discovered that HIV produces a circular RNA molecule that helps the virus activate its genes and replicate more efficiently. The finding reveals a previously unknown layer of HIV biology and could open new avenues for antiviral therapies. The study, published on March......
