Recently, scientists discovered that there is an enormous quantity of water on the Moon, hiding beneath the surface.

Astronomers have come up with the most precise measurement of the Universe's expansion rate so far - and sure enough, it still appears to be accelerating.

Global powers are pushing flight faster. With Japan looking to reintroduce supersonic speeds to aircraft, China has joined several US companies in working on aircraft capable of achieving hypersonic speeds - and they're relatively far along.

An international team of scientists have provided the first proof of an exotic new state of matter, known as Rydberg polarons.

Life as we know it needs three things: energy, water and chemistry.

One of the world's most respected theoretical physicists Michio Kaku has predicted that humans will make contact with an alien civilisation within this century.

A novel approach to an energy storage device run on an aqueous electrolyte can go from flat to fully-charged in just 20 seconds, making it perfect for portable electronics that frequently need a quick boost.

The first light which ever shone in the universe has been detected by astronomers scouring the skies for the earliest stars.

In a few months, astronomers are going to be pointing their telescopes to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy.

More than two dozen satellites from the U.S. military, NASA and research institutions will ride into orbit on SpaceX’s second Falcon Heavy rocket launch, a mission currently scheduled for liftoff in June, a military spokesperson said.

Cultured tissue, harvested without killing any animals, could allow scientists to grow meals’ worth of products with just a handful of starter cells

The crew onboard the International Space Station (ISS) will soon welcome a new member, described by its creators as "a kind of flying brain."

Holding hands with a loved one might spark more of a connection than just the feeling of flesh on flesh: new research suggests it causes our breathing and heart rates to sync up between partners, and could even ease bodily pain.

In recent months, researchers at OpenAI have been focusing on developing artificial intelligence (AI) that learns better.

The foundation stone of quantum mechanics doesn't just describe the behaviour of infinitesimal subatomic particles – it also governs the movement of the largest and most massive objects in the Universe, says a prominent astrophysicist.

It's not often you get chance to look at something that's several billion years old - we're totally amazed by these fossilised remains, found in rocks formed from microbial mats that settled in shallow pools some 1.6 billion years go.

Parents are reluctant to vaccinate their children for many reasons, but one of the more persistent arguments has been a fear of 'overwhelming' the immune system.
