NASA’s Juno spacecraft has been orbiting Jupiter since 2016, mapping the planet’s gravity and magnetic fields with extraordinary precision. Instead of finding a dense solid core or no core at all, the ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a ...

When the densest objects in the universe collide and merge, the violence sets off ripples, in the form of gravitational waves ...

The catalogue of all the new 128 events observed by LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA from May 2023 to January 2024 is being published. It reveals an even greater variety of binary pairs producing gravitational ...

New 3D reconstructions of a key sensory organ in ctenophores reveal an unexpected structural and functional complexity. The ...

A newly derived “q-desic” equation suggests that quantum effects may subtly alter particle trajectories across the universe.

The “gravity hole” formed at least 70 million years ago after convection in Earth’s mantle. The weak gravity could impact our ...

Shaped by a different biology or culture, other intelligent civilisations – if they’re out there – might understand the ...

Last year, our most detailed map of the universe yet suggested our understanding of dark energy has been wrong for decades. The shock result is reigniting the search for a better cosmic story ...

It’s a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across ...

A launch vehicle’s ascent battles gravity to gain orbital velocity, while re-entry is a controlled struggle against the atmosphere to systematically shed that immense kinetic energy through ...
