If ever spotted in the emptiness of space, according to theoretical physicist Eugeny Babichev of the University of ...

Flashes like Cherenkov radiation in space may reveal negative-energy ghosts, hinting at gaps in gravity theories.

The coldest and densest molecular gas clouds in the interstellar medium can have temperatures of 10 K (-505 °F/-263 °C), ...

Earth is surrounded by a radio field caused by very low-frequency waves. This field pushes away the Van Allen Belts, a radiation swim-floaty that surrounds Earth's middle. Van Allen radiation hinders ...

A new research collaboration that fuses fashion and science is set to send bacteria into space—and the outcomes could create radiation-sensitive fabrics capable of preventing skin cancer on Earth and ...

A new nanobarrier coating could help protect ultra-lightweight carbon composite materials from extreme conditions in space, according to a study from the University of Surrey and Airbus Defence and ...

In 1958, James Van Allen discovered far fewer cosmic rays than expected using a cosmic-ray detector and suggested that a belt of strong radiation may have damaged the device. The belts were therefore ...

The invisible forces erupting from our Sun create a chaotic environment extending far beyond what most people imagine. Space ...
