Nobel Prize-winning chemist Rudolph Marcus, whose electron transfer theory reshaped modern chemistry, died at 102 while remaining active in research.

Astronomers have confirmed the first atmosphere on a rocky Earth-like planet in another star's habitable zone, marking a major milestone in the search for potentially habitable worlds.

The Perseid meteor shower begins its annual display tonight, with California's best viewing expected in dark inland locations ahead of an exceptionally favorable August peak.

Astronomers are counting down to Apophis' rare 2029 flyby, when the giant asteroid will safely pass close enough to be visible without a telescope.

A bronze sword dating to the Late Bronze Age was discovered upright in sandy soil in a forest near Gdańsk. Archaeologists say the unusual vertical placement may indicate intentional deposition—possibly a ritual or symbolic offering—rather than the sword being lost accidentally. Officials recovered the artifact using proper methods, and it will be studied and conserved before being assigned to a museum.
