Astronomers have found stars that repeatedly skim past supermassive black holes, surviving each encounter while producing a new burst of light. In some systems, those flares mysteriously fade with every return. Researchers now think the key may be...
Mice that developed compulsive drinking after alcohol abstinence showed more than double the activity in a brain region associated with stress and addiction. Because the signal appeared before they drank again, researchers think it could eventually...

The use of AI in music creation continues to be a divisive topic and recent figures confirm that the onslaught of AI-generated tracks is not slowing down. Worse, certain artists are becoming more open about using the controversial technology.
NASA said on Wednesday a $30 million mission to save its Swift space telescope had failed after the rescue spacecraft could not be controlled. The unprecedented effort aimed to use a robot to move Swift into a higher orbit. The satellite is now...
MIT physicists found that two electronic phases inside the same quantum material emerge through surprisingly different mechanisms—one smoothly and the other in expanding pockets resembling growing ice crystals. The discovery could help explain how...
Without a rescue, NASA's Swift Observatory is expected to reenter the atmosphere later this year.
The foldable phone market is in the middle of a huge transformation, but no one told Google. Last year, Samsung transformed its Galaxy Z Fold 7 with a dramatically thinner design. This year, it made its phones thinner and lighter again, almost...
Researchers have identified a speed demon at the heart of the Milky Way. This fast-moving star may yield insights into the black hole parked at the center of our galaxy.
В компании SpaceX опасались, что верхняя ступень ракеты Starship может утонуть в Индийском океане. Илон Маск признал, что шансы на ее спасение невелики. Но во вторник ее удалось отбуксировать к берегу острова Рождества недалеко от Австралии.
Sophie Adenot became the first French female astronaut to venture outside the International Space Station (ISS) for a spacewalk on Tuesday, accompanied by American astronaut Anil Menon. During the nearly six-and-a-half hour mission, the two...
A tomb in Egypt’s Theban Necropolis reveals a surprisingly organized story of burial, reuse, and changing beliefs spanning hundreds of years. Researchers found 16 mummified people, the remains of at least four more, and a mummified dog, with burials...
