New research suggests that the origins of life may be tied not only to deep-sea hydrothermal vents but also to environments ...
New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic ...

Life on Earth may have origins from far, far away. Scientists have found a full set of life-building molecules in a nearly pristine asteroid sample, and the discovery suggests that the necessary ...
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has spotted the fastest-rotating large asteroid ever seen. Despite measuring more than half a kilometre across, this asteroid spins about once every 1.9 minutes ...
TransAstra developed the Capture Bag to grab asteroids or defunct satellites. This render shows a spacecraft powered by TransAstra's Omnivore Solar Thermal Propulsion moving the asteroid to a ...
In an important step for both planetary defense and childhood imaginations everywhere, a recent scientific study has confirmed that NASA rammed an asteroid hard enough to change its trajectory. The ...
The asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs didn’t keep life down for long. New research shows that microscopic plankton began evolving into new species within just a few thousand years—and ...
Asteroid mining technology is transforming how we think about space exploration and resource acquisition. By targeting near-Earth objects rich in platinum-group metals and water, these innovations aim ...
NASA's DART mission, which tested a planetary defense strategy, successfully changed the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos in 2022. The mission also unexpectedly altered the orbit of Dimorphos's larger ...
