A plant with no brain, no neurons, and no nervous system appears to count. That is the central finding by William & Mary psychology professor Peter Vishton and his former student Paige Bartosh. Working with Mimosa pudica, commonly called the shy plant or touch-me-not, the researchers found that the plant’s leaf movements were shaped not simpl

A powerful new laser-based monitoring system is giving scientists an unprecedented look at how reentering satellites and rocket debris may be contaminating Earth’s upper atmosphere. According to findings presented by researchers from the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) and highlighted on the IAP website, the growing wave of sat

More than 100 meters beneath the seabed in southern China, engineers are advancing what is now the deepest undersea tunnel ever constructed for a high-speed railway. The project, carried out by the Chinese-built Shenjiang-1 tunnel boring machine, has already crossed the 4-kilometer mark after four years of continuous work. The tunnel belongs

A fast-moving solar event detected by NOAA has sharply increased the chances of seeing the northern lights across large parts of the United States on Thursday night into early Friday morning. Forecasters upgraded the incoming disturbance to a G2 geomagnetic storm after an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection was observed leaving the Sun. The

NASA has unveiled the most complete panoramic view yet from its Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), offering a breathtaking look at a sky crowded with thousands of potential alien worlds. The newly released all-sky mosaic combines years of observations into a single image that highlights nearly 6,000 confirmed and candidate exoplane

A newly released image from the European Space Agency (ESA) has revealed mysterious dark material spread across part of an enormous ancient channel on Mars, a region where water once flowed billions of years ago. The image, captured by the Mars Express spacecraft, focuses on the northern section of Shalbatana Vallis, a massive valley system n

A newly identified near-Earth asteroid known as 2026 JH2 will pass remarkably close to Earth on May 18, 2026. Despite the dramatic proximity, scientists say there is no indication that the space rock poses any danger to the planet. The object was spotted only a few days ago by astronomers working with several observatories, including the Moun

A remarkable new deep-space image taken by astrophotographer Ronald Brecher is drawing attention across the astronomy community after revealing the intricate beauty of Markarian’s Chain, a famous collection of galaxies stretching across the Virgo Cluster. The scene, highlighted by the dramatic interacting pair known as “The Eyes”, offers a vi
