If you can't beat them, steal their game. This seems to be what NASA Administrator Bill Nelson thinks about China's space program, since he broke the ice during a low-key House Appropriations Commit… [+3411 chars]
A research team from Tokyo Tech has used an alumina-supported, iron-based compound to develop a catalyst that can efficiently convert CO2 into formic acid (HCOOH) with ~90% selectivity. An open-acess… [+3085 chars]
THE eerie sounds of the Northern Lights can be heard even when they're invisible to the human eye, new research suggests. Popping, crackling, and even the sound of a rushing waterfall all describe … [+3476 chars]
Magnetic nanostructures are promising tools for medical applications. Incorporated into biological structures, they can be steered via external magnetic fields inside the body to release drugs or to … [+3424 chars]

Researchers have found over 1,700 asteroid trails in archived Hubble data from the last 20 years. While many of the asteroids are previously known, more than 1,000 are not. What good are another 1,00… [+7553 chars]
This is how the "Blood Moon" appeared from space during the lunar eclipse. The first total lunar eclipse of the year created a lot of buzz on the planet. People in some countries - mostly in South A… [+2130 chars]
The size of a Near-Earth Object is something that scientists always keep an eye on. The larger the object, the larger the threat. Next month, another NEO will whiz by our planet, but, thankfully, e… [+3445 chars]
If you have ever watched a bird land on a tree branch, you may have noticed that it rapidly pitches its wings upward at a high angle to execute a smooth landing. However, for some birds, they land by… [+2718 chars]
Stars have been a marvellous subject for astrophysicists but what happens inside these cosmic entities largely remains a mystery to them. Scientists say that this is because the matter produced when … [+2376 chars]
