Comets are often treated as leftovers, but sometimes the leftovers become the primary focus. That is the case with 3I/ATLAS, only the third known interstellar object seen crossing the solar system, ...

The researchers who scan the skies for radio signals from extraterrestrials are now rethinking their approach.

Abstract: This paper summarizes current practices for assessing the thermal efficiency of external wall systems incorporating cold-formed steel studs. Due to the high thermal conductivity of steel, ...

Researchers analyzed 28 Ryugu asteroid samples and found preserved magnetic signals that record early solar system magnetic fields and water-driven alteration on its parent body.

Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and ...

Chalk up another victory for “Conan the Bacterium”—a rugged germ that fresh research suggests could conquer the solar system.

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Researchers decoded the synthesis mechanism of heavy-metal-free CuInS2 quantum dots and built a photoelectrochemical device ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has started releasing its first discoveries: including supernovae, variable stars and asteroids ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

Microscopic crystals extracted from meteorites could help settle a debate about the birth of our patch of the Milky Way.

New research suggests that Jupiter’s icy moons may have formed with complex organic molecules already embedded in their building blocks.
