Packs of dog-shaped robots could one day roam the moon — if they can find their footing on Earth first
A dog-like, bio-inspired robot called Spirit is still learning to walk, but could one day be deployed on the moon to explore steep, potentially hazardous areas with a team of robot companions.
See the explosive 'devil comet' get its tail ripped off by a solar storm days before its close approach to the sun
A surprise coronal mass ejection recently smashed into Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, briefly causing the "devil comet" to lose its tail — and a NASA spacecraft caught the whole thing on camera.
Global 'time signals' subtly shifted as the total solar eclipse reshaped Earth's upper atmosphere, new data shows
During the historic April 8 total solar eclipse, a government radio station in Colorado started sending out slightly shifted "time signals" to millions of people across the globe as the moon's shadow altered the upper layers of our atmosphere. However, these altered signals did not actually change the time.
Half of China's cities are sinking, putting most of the country's urban population at risk
Major cities across eastern China are sinking due to groundwater extraction and the weight of buildings, potentially exposing millions of people to flooding and damage in the next 100 years.
Aliens may be hitching rides on meteors to colonize the cosmos, study suggests. Here's how we could spot them.
A fringe theory called "panspermia" suggests that lifeforms can spread to new planets by hitching rides on meteors. New research lays out a roadmap for finding where these hypothetical, planet-hopping aliens may reside.
Future quantum computers could use bizarre 'error-free' qubit design built on forgotten research from the 1990s
Qubits can be made by floating a suspended electron over a pool of liquid helium rather than being embedded them a solid-state crystal — which leads to impurities and errors.
Scientists are one step closer to knowing the mass of ghostly neutrinos — possibly paving the way to new physics
By precisely measuring the mass of neutrinos — ghostly particles that stream through your body by the billions each second — physicists could find some glaring holes in the Standard Model of particle physics. A new experiment has taken them one step closer.
Weird magnetic 'skyrmion' quasiparticle could be used as a bit in advanced computing memory
Scientists want to replace electrons with so-called 'nanobubbles' — or skyrmions — to store data more densely and efficiently in advanced memory components that would replace RAM and flash storage.
