Researchers plan to install the first Japanese radio telescope in Antarctica to study how stars are formed, enhancing the ...

Since the beginning of September, temperatures in the atmosphere above Antarctica have soared by over 35°C (63°F), while wind speeds have halved and ozone depletion has suddenly stalled. This kind of ...

The collision and merger of two neutron stars—the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars—are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

When two neutron stars collide, they unleash some of the most powerful forces in the universe, creating ripples in spacetime, showers of radiation, and even the building blocks of gold and platinum.

Located 700 meters underground near the city of Jiangmen in southern China, a giant sphere—35 meters in diameter and filled with more than 20,000 tons of liquid—has just started a mission that will ...

At any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our surroundings, without noticeable effect. Smaller than electrons and lighter than ...

A 20-year-old American pilot and influencer who was attempting to become the first pilot to fly solo to all seven continents has been released from Chilean detention in Antarctica after more than two ...

Physicists have proposed a new type of laser that could emit powerful bursts of neutrinos instead of light 1. This could enable ‘tabletop’ studies of neutrinos — elementary particles that have no ...

With the conflicts in Europe and the Greater Middle East seemingly frozen, the geopolitics of the world’s polar regions continue to thaw. What few eyes are fixated on the geopolitics of the polar ...
