Kepler-51d is a giant, ultra-light "super-puff" planet wrapped in an unusually thick haze that's blocking scientists from seeing what it's made of. Observations from JWST revealed that this haze may be one of the largest ever detected, possibly ...

MIT physicists have built a powerful new microscope that uses terahertz light to uncover hidden quantum motions inside superconductors. By compressing this normally unwieldy light into a tiny region, they were able to observe electrons moving ...

Bull sharks may have a reputation as lone hunters, but new research reveals they actually form social bonds and even have preferred "friends." After six years of observing 184 sharks in Fiji, scientists discovered these animals don't just mix ...

Astronomers have identified a strange new kind of exoplanet that challenges how scientists classify worlds beyond our Solar System. The planet, L 98-59 d, appears to contain a vast ocean of molten rock beneath its surface that traps large amounts of ...

A mysterious metal-rich asteroid called Psyche has been baffling scientists for over two centuries, and its true origin remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in planetary science. Is it the exposed core of a failed planet, or a chaotic mix ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed new details in a bizarre nebula that looks like a brain floating in space. Formed by a dying star, the "Exposed Cranium" nebula shows layered gas and a dark central divide that creates its eerie shape. Webb ...

Astronomers may have found an exciting new clue about dark energy--the mysterious force driving the universe's accelerating expansion. They discovered an extraordinarily bright supernova from more than 10 billion years ago whose light was bent and .. ...

Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence--a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe's oldest light--have developed a new way to reduce uncertainty in how it's measured. This faint rotation in the cosmic microwave . ...

A redesigned cancer immunotherapy is showing striking early results after decades of disappointment with similar drugs. Researchers engineered a more powerful CD40 agonist antibody and changed how it's delivered--injecting it directly into tumors ...

A new UCLA Health study suggests that long-term exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos may dramatically raise the risk of Parkinson's disease. Researchers found that people living in areas with sustained exposure had more than 2.5 times the ...
