The first full-color images from the James Webb Telescope are gorgeous, but they’re also full of substantial science.
Images of galaxy clusters, deep fields, dying stars, birthing stars, and exoplanet spectra electrified the astronomy community Tuesday.
In the event of a nuclear disaster, would you know what to do? If you’re a New York City resident, there’s a YouTube video for that.
The city’s Department of Emergency Management released a public service announcement video outlining the three steps that residents should take in case of a nuclear attack.
The James Webb Space Telescope has the potential to rewrite the history of the cosmos and reshape humanity’s position within it. But first, a lot of things have to work just right.
Mahle claims the motor can run continuously at 90% of its max output, with durability assured by a new integrated oil-cooling technique.
The Sun is expected to explode any day now.
Solar researchers have their eye on a massive sunspot dubbed AR3055, which measures more than 6,100 miles wide. These regions, which appear as dark moles on the surface of the Sun, are concentrations of relatively cooler temperatures caused by a magnetic flux.
“There is an incredible-looking sunspot crossing the center of the solar disk and a new large dark core has just appeared on the limb,” astronomer Apollo Lasky said in a Monday statement published on SpaceWeather.com.

Our ability to use mathematical modelling is accelerating breakthrough discoveries in health care and biotechnology.
A new study from the University of Bonn, Germany, has found that brown fat cells produce a molecule that helps burn fat, offering implications for treating obesity.
The sterile neutrino, if it truly exists, only answers to gravity.
Physicists are spelunking the complex findings from an experimental particle reactor found a mile below the surface in the mountains of Russia. What they found has the potential to send an earthquake through the bedrock of the standard model of physics itself: the results could confirm a new elementary particle, called a “sterile neutrino,” or demonstrate a need to revise a portion of the standard model.
The research comes from New Mexico’s Los Alamos National Laboratory in collaboration with the Baksan Neutrino Observatory near the Georgia border in far southwestern Russia. The scientists outlined their findings in two new papers published last month in the journals Physical Review Letters and Physical Review C.
