As humanity looks beyond Earth for future settlements, the moon, and Mars have emerged as potential destinations. However, establishing livable habitats on these celestial bodies poses significant challenges, particularly in regulating…

In the mesmerizing dance of cosmic dust, a groundbreaking revelation has emerged, shedding light on the enigmatic process of planet formation. Microparticle dust aggregates, those tiny building blocks of celestial bodies, have long been…

According to fundamental physics, the properties of mass—weight, inertia, and gravitation—always remain the same relative to each other. If this is not true, Einstein's theory of relativity would be debunked. Now, however, quantum theory…

There may be many more Earth-like exoplanets with liquid water than we thought, potentially increasing the chance of finding life. Dr. Lujendra Ojha of Rutgers University claims that their work shows water can be found in places previously…

There is a spacetime warping effect of gravitational waves passing through our galaxy, says researchers with the U.S. National Science Foundation's NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center. Their findings were published in The Astrophysical…

There’s now a method to test Einstein's and Euler's theories for the accelerating expansion of the Universe and dark matter together. If you're unfamiliar with the theories, Euler described the movements of celestial objects, and Einstein…

Researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) scored a first in modular robotics development with an origami robot that can change shape, move around, and interact with objects and people. Inspired by the digital world of…

Millions of people watch the Geminids meteor shower every year. This intense event usually peaks around December 13th or 14th and appears to originate from the Gemini constellation, giving them their name. The Geminids are one of two meteor…

Saturn has more moons than any other planet in our solar system. With the recent discovery of 62 new spatial bodies in the system, the ringed planet now has a total of 145 moons, beating Jupiter’s 92, which also increased in February with …

What do you think would happen if we received a message from aliens? Hollywood loves to explore this premise. If you’re my age, you will likely have seen Contact, the 1997 movie based on Carl Sagan’s book of the same name. Luckily, the…
