Gallery: An Artist Makes the Universe From Sand—And Then Destroys It

The new image isn’t just stunning—it may also provide clues about how this star survived its own explosion.

The cloud has baffled astronomers since its discovery in 2018. Now, a new study offers a possible cause for its appearance.

The Webb telescope sees tiny red dots everywhere. Astronomers can’t agree on what they are, but some believe they may be enormous stars with black holes inside.

Sold by its trailer as a gag reel, Tom Cruise’s strangest movie may be the most unsettling portrait of our tech and climate moment yet.

“Detecting a neutrino is like looking for a needle in a haystack,” says Juan Carlos Díaz Vélez, who breaks down why researchers are looking for the cosmic particles under the Antarctic ice.

These elusive and reactive particles have been challenging to hold on to and even more challenging to study, but a new method paves the way for tests on the differences between matter and antimatter.

The team behind director Takashi Yamazaki’s new film created their kaiju roars by setting up speakers on top of an outdoor dam. The people walking by weren’t prepared for what they heard.

As coastlines change, so do surf breaks. That may spell the end for premier waves and the tourist economies that depend on them.

Under 1 million years old, “Elias 2-24b” is now the youngest exoplanet ever observed, and it may force researchers to reevaluate theories about how planets are formed.

Scientists left structures up to 100 meters under the surface. Here’s what they found when they retrieved them 10 years later.

A global network of detectors are reporting some of the most substantial measurements yet of neutrinos created deep underground by the radioactive elements that power our planet’s tectonic activity.

The deeply uncomfortable film forces audiences to confront what types of stories we tell ourselves about who has economic and political power.
