After her initial test run, she cultured a regular sample, as well as the shocked sample so she could compare them side by ...

Space-based experiments show fungi can efficiently extract valuable metals from meteorites in microgravity, advancing prospects for asteroid biomining and sustainable resource use. As humans look ...

NASA once sent over 2,000 jellyfish into space to study how gravity affects biological development. The unusual experiment ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Sitting in a dark planetarium, kids of all ages had stars in their eyes on Friday as they learned about black holes and Earth ...

"Extremophile" bacteria could survive asteroid impacts that are strong enough to launch them into space, suggesting that life ...

Hardy bacteria in a lab survived pressures comparable to an asteroid strike on the red planet, suggesting a hypothetical scenario in which our planet was seeded with life.

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Two future experiments set to take flight ...

A Sydney Ph.D. student has recreated a tiny piece of the universe inside a bottle in her laboratory, producing cosmic dust from scratch. The results shed new light on how the chemical building blocks ...

Research conducted partly aboard the International Space Station (ISS) suggests that "microgravity" could help scientists fight drug-resistant superbugs, according to a report from SWNS. Microgravity ...

In 1990, NASA carried out an unusual experiment that involved sending thousands of baby jellyfish into space. The goal was to study how living organisms develop in microgravity — and what that might ...
