Attoclocks, or attosecond clocks, are instruments that can measure time intervals on the attosecond scale by measuring the time it takes for electrons to tunnel out of atoms. The attosecond procedure ...

NASA is calling other commercial space companies to compete with SpaceX is a part of its plans to establish a sustained presence on the Moon.

Washington: As NASA makes strides to return humans to the lunar surface under Artemis, the space agency has announced plans to create a second Moon lander

NASA is turning to the spirit of healthy competition to boost its chances of success in establishing a presence on the Moon, today outlining plans for a commercially-developed sidekick to SpaceX's lander. The announcement calls for private space companies to develop a second lander to take astronauts from lunar orbit down to the surface, forming a key pillar in what the agency hopes will become a recurring transportation service for both crew and cargo.

NASA says it’s welcoming lunar lander concepts from commercial companies other than SpaceX, which already has a contract to land astronauts on the moon.

By combining CRISPR technology with a protein designed with artificial intelligence, it is possible to awaken individual dormant genes by disabling the chemical "off switches" that silence them. Researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle describe this finding in the ...

Scientists have now found answers to central questions which had previously stood in the way of acoustic propulsion of nanoparticles.

How can you accurately test a space antenna down here on Earth when it has been scaled up to penetrate the subterranean depths of another planet? This was the question faced by SENER in Spain, currently designing a candidate antenna for ESA's EnVision mission, which will explore Venus from its inner core to outermost cloud layers. To solve it they lifted their prototype skyward with a balloon.

Another batch of 47 internet satellites launched Thursday on a Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center, heading into the sky to join SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network on the company’s ninth mission in nine weeks, keeping pace with a goal of around 50 Falcon flights this year.

The rocket met its predicted doom.

Astronauts Kayla Barron and Raja Chari floated out of the International Space Station airlock for a spacewalk Tuesday, installing brackets and struts to support new solar arrays to upgrade the research lab’s power system on the same day that crewmate Mark Vande Hei marked his 341st day in orbit, a U.S. record for a single spaceflight.

Astronomers had the chance to observe a massive, star-size debris cloud as it passed in front of a nearby star and blocked some of its light. This observation revealed evidence of a collision between two celestial bodies likely the size of giant asteroids or mini planets, the scientists said.

Scientists are searching for new technologies that could help the world reach carbon neutrality. One potential solution is to capture and store carbon dioxide emissions in the form of hydrates under ocean floor sediments, kept in place by the natural pressure created by the weight of the seawater above. Now researchers have demonstrated experimental evidence of the stability of carbon dioxide hydrates in oceanic sediments -- an essential step in making this carbon storage technology a viable reality.
