Research shows these channels allow seawater and nutrients to flow in and out, helping to maintain reef health over millions of years.

Researchers share the design and implementation of an incentive-based Space Sustainability Rating.

The small and rocky lava world sheds an amount of material equivalent to the mass of Mount Everest every 30.5 hours.

Increasing greenhouse gas emissions will reduce the atmosphere’s ability to burn up old space junk, MIT scientists report.

Ideal for propelling tiny satellites, the lightweight devices could be produced on board a spacecraft and cost much less than traditional thrusters.

Their source could be the core of a dead star that’s teetering at the black hole’s edge, MIT astronomers report.

The method could help communities visualize and prepare for approaching storms.

A weak magnetic field likely pulled matter inward to form the outer planetary bodies, from Jupiter to Neptune.

In the universe’s first billion years, this brief and mysterious force could have produced more bright galaxies than theory predicts.

Knowing where to look for this signal will help researchers identify specific sources of the potent greenhouse gas.
