In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. Black holes are rather ...

Gauging the mass of a black hole is tricky, but astronomers have devised multiple methods to measure the heft of these galactic gluttons ...

Achieve smooth results on carpentry projects, large and small, with the right sander for the job. See which models performed ...

A small asteroid has been quietly following Earth’s orbit for decades—unseen, unbothered and, until recently, completely ...

Researchers from Japan have discovered a unique Hall effect resulting from deflection of electrons due to "in-plane ...

The long-standing idea of planets forming in perfectly flat, orderly discs has been challenged by new research. Instead of ...

Their results pave the way for developing advanced electronic devices that rely on nonmagnetic materials. For the first time, researchers in Japan have detected a giant anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in ...

Some people believe that unusual animal behavior during a lunar eclipse is due to supernatural influences. Stories often describe dogs acting restless, birds going silent, or farm animals behaving ...

Kepler's laws show the effects of gravity on orbits. They apply to any object that orbits another: planets orbiting the Sun, moons orbiting a planet, spacecraft orbiting Earth.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers detected a potential gas giant exoplanet, designated S1, orbiting Alpha Centauri A, a star in the closest stellar system to Earth. The ...

Is there a massive undiscovered planet on the outer reaches of the Solar System? The idea has been around since before the discovery of Pluto in the 1930s. Labelled as planet X, prominent astronomers ...
