On Jan. 19, Japan's 'Moon Sniper' spacecraft made a successful soft landing on the moon. The landing was the most precise in lunar history; it was also upside-down. | Continue reading
Astronomers detected a small asteroid zooming toward Earth's atmosphere on Jan. 21, correctly predicting it would explode over Germany within hours. Here's how they did it. | Continue reading

BetaVolt's BV100 is smaller than a coin and contains a radioactive isotope of nickel that decays into copper and supplies power to a device for up to 50 years. But it probably won't power your smartphone anytime soon, an expert suggests. | Continue reading
A new analysis of a skeleton buried under Hernán Cortés' palace in Mexico reveals that it doesn't belong to a monk, as was long thought. | Continue reading

Bigfoot reports across North America have been linked to the presence of black bears, but the research can't account for sightings in Florida. | Continue reading
Satellite images reveal the heat still radiating from the reawakened volcano in Iceland. | Continue reading
Cameras recorded footage in red, blue, green and UV channels simultaneously, with openly available software processing the raw footage and converting it into different kinds of "animal vision," showing us how bees, birds, mice and dogs might see the world. | Continue reading
The DragonFire laser can shoot down drones and costs less than $13 a shot, the UK government claims. | Continue reading
A pair of linked solar flares recently exploded near-simultaneously from sunspots on different hemispheres of our home star, triggering radio blackouts on Earth. | Continue reading
Microscopic water bears can enter a near-invincible 'tun' state when stressed, enabling them to survive in the harshest conditions — including the vacuum of space. Now we know how. | Continue reading
When temperatures drop below freezing, alligators can enter a state of torpor known as brumation, as the water around them solidifies and suspends them in a giant, pond-shaped ice cube. | Continue reading
A study suggests that a yeast tied to tooth decay in young children may be passed to them by their mothers, and this is more likely if the moms have lots of dental plaque. | Continue reading
The most sensitive image of a globular cluster, a tightly packed ball of ancient stars, has revealed a strange radio signal that could be a black hole. | Continue reading
The sudden disappearance of quantum fluctuations inside an atom-thin 2D superconductor has left scientists baffled. | Continue reading
