"For asteroids of the size scale relevant to planetary defense (i.e., ∼50-500 m), the mass can only be directly measured ...

To uncover the history of our solar system, it is necessary to study the dynamic evolution of the ancient solar nebula materials. These materials interacted and coevolved with the weak but widespread ...

Paleomagnetic analysis of 28 Ryugu asteroid particles reveals stable magnetization acquired within millions of years of solar ...

A super-tough microbe may be able to survive being blasted from Mars into space—opening the door to interplanetary life ...

Samples from Ryugu, a small, near-Earth asteroid, preserve natural remanent magnetization (NRM) from the early history of the solar system. However, despite multiple studies, there is currently no ...

A famously resilient bacterium may be tough enough to survive one of the most violent events imaginable on Mars. In ...

It is one of the most famous questions in science, and it was asked, as legend has it, over lunch. Enrico Fermi, the ...

Helium-3 dating reveals new plankton species emerged within thousands—and sometimes just 2,000—years after the dinosaur-killing impact, showing life recovered far faster than assumed.

Tiny, tooth-sized fossils have just reshaped the story of our deepest ancestry. Paleontologists have discovered the southernmost remains ever found of Purgatorius—the earliest-known relative of all ...

The fifth season of the hit Apple TV sci-fi show For All Mankind is set to premiere globally on Friday March 27, 2026, with a ...

The extremophile bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans can survive the pressures developed during ejection from Mars as a result of massive asteroid impact. According to the authors, microorganisms can ...
