Astronomers have found more ORCs in the years since those initial discoveries, and some of them also appear to have a galaxy ...

A fog of long-wavelength infrared light could be produced by dusty, star-forming galaxies that have remained hidden — until now, that is.

Researchers suggest the bacteria could be designed to detect pollution or nutrients, acting as sensors to help farmers ...

Engineers have made bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and other ...

Astronomers may have uncovered a hidden population of galaxies that could rewrite what we know about the universe's evolution ...

A blob of gas seen outside the Milky Way could be a type of starless, dark matter–dominated galaxy. Some scientists are skeptical.

However, as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) points out, most of the world’s oceans are far from ...

Green oceans on early Earth, shaped by iron, pushed microbes to evolve light-absorbing tools that worked in green light.

Scientists at EPFL have made a breakthrough in designing arrays of resonators, the basic components that power quantum ...

Despite decades of searching for this signal, astronomers have yet to find it. The problem is that our Earth is too noisy, making it nearly impossible to capture this whisper. The solution is to go to ...

A team of astronomers has discovered what appears to be a previously undetected population of "hidden" galaxies that could ...
