Scientists on board the International Space Station are attempting to grow stem cells in microgravity in an effort to boost their therapeutic viability.

Volcanic activity in Arsia Mons — the southernmost member of the Tharsis Montes group — most likely peaked roughly 150 million years ago.

The image, captured using the telescope's Wide Field Camera 3, shows a section of the spiral galaxy located about 50 million light-years from Earth.

A new model suggests that Mars' moons — Phobos and Deimos — may be the product of rings of debris coalescing and breaking apart many times over the past 4.3 billion years.

A team of researchers has discovered that the "little brain" may be playing a key role in anticipating and responding to rewards — activities that are key drivers of behavior.

This is the first time the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array has been used to image and measure what’s known as the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich effect.

In a new study, a team of MIT researchers describe a technique to make tumor cells more susceptible to certain kinds of anti-cancer drugs.

Astronomers believe the outburst was triggered by a protostar in the nebula undergoing a period of intense growth spurt.

The discovery of the 4.2 billion-year-old crust, found in samples harvested from the Canadian Shield, could help geologists better understand Earth's formative years.

The experiment — Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen at Rest — is designed to study how gravity affects antimatter particles.

Data gathered during these tests — carried out earlier this month — would add to that collected during the two dedicated science orbits conducted late last year.

The mission involves putting a spacecraft — the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer — in orbit around the gas giant and its massive moon Ganymede.

The licence, granted to a clinic at Newcastle University, would allow doctors to carry out pronuclear transfer to reduce the risk of mitochondrial diseases.

The particles are all excited states of Omega-c-zero, which is a baryon containing two strange and one charm quark.

The earliest studies based on the treasure trove of data gathered as part of the unique study may be published either later this year, or sometime in 2018.

A team of astronomers has spotted a supermassive black hole located in a galaxy 300 million light-years from Earth "choking" on stardust.

A series of NASA experiments has indicated that on Saturn's largest moon, hydrocarbon lakes may occasionally “breathe” nitrogen.

A team of researchers has found a direct correlation between the rise in global temperatures and the size of some mammals — when temperatures rise, some mammals shrink.

The discovery, made using instruments on board NASA's Van Allen Probes, could help scientists create lighter and cheaper spacecraft designed to withstand the low-intensity radiation in the inner belt.

Observations of star-forming galaxies in the early (and distant) universe have revealed that unlike their modern-day counterparts, these galaxies were completely dominated by normal matter.

A new study that examined neuronal activity in lab rats has revealed that parts of nerve cells are more active than scientists hitherto assumed them to be.

The images of the dwarf galaxy NGC 6822 reveal that even in low-mass galaxies, the process of star birth is remarkably similar to that in more massive galaxies like the Milky Way.

The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment, housed in a one-mile-deep abandoned gold mine in South Dakota, is scheduled to become operational in 2020.

The images, captured using the Kepler Space Telescope, show dips in the brightness of the red dwarf star caused by the system's transiting planets.

A team of researchers has shown that it is possible, at least theoretically, for electrons to flow through a narrow opening in a piece of metal much faster than previously thought.

In seven papers published Thursday in the journal Science, an international team of researchers describe the creation of five additional “designer” chromosomes of baker’s yeast.

In a new study, researchers combine the principles of quantum mechanics and general relativity to place fundamental limits on our ability to measure time.

Analysis of gigantic gas bubbles burped out by Sagittarius A* — the black hole at the center of our galaxy — has revealed when it ate its last big meal.

In order to explain the origin of these mysterious bursts of radio emissions, two researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have put forward a controversial idea — aliens are causing them.
