The ancient town of al-Natah, inhabited between 2400 and 1500 BCE, represents an early transitional phase from pastoral lifestyles to more complex urban settlements. A recent study published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Guillaume Charloux from the French

Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a neutron star in the Milky Way that rotates at an astonishing 716 times per second, placing it among the fastest-spinning stars ever observed. The neutron star was identified using NASA’s NICER X-ray

A new technique enables data storage in synthetic polymers, allowing direct bit access without full sequence decoding, significantly increasing storage density and stability, demonstrated by encoding a university address in ASCII within a polymer. The need for data storage is

Here's all we know about Black Friday 2024 so far — from when it takes place to the best science gifts to look for in the sales.

Sober as a wasp.

Here's how they did it.

In a rare show of openness about the X-37B, Boeing Space released a video detailing how the space plane's aerobraking maneuvers help change its orbit.

The idea ostriches bury their heads when they feel threatened is thought have come from Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder around 2,000 years ago. But is it true?

The Concorde was the fastest commercial plane ever flown, but its speed came with a hefty price tag.

Astrophysicists have developed a method to detect light echoes from black holes, potentially revolutionizing the measurement of their masses and spins. The technique, designed to distinguish faint echo signals from more direct light observations, utilizes advanced simulations and could also

Recent research indicates that even small increases in physical activity, such as five minutes of uphill walking or stair-climbing daily, can significantly lower blood pressure. Findings from the international ProPASS Consortium reveal that replacing sedentary time with 20-27 minutes of

A massive ice sheet once covered much of Canada and the northern U.S., causing land shifts as it melted. New research shows this melting impacts today’s sea levels by causing sinking in some regions and rising in others. Imagine that

Motion illusions override the eye’s compensatory mechanisms for stabilizing movements. The brain works intensively to process visual information. Every second, our eyes capture over ten million pieces of information, sending them to the brain through thousands of nerve fibers. This

The explosion that started it all.
