Footage shows the record-breaking TOKUFASTbot solving a Rubik's Cube so fast that it appears to happen in a single move. But in reality, advanced AI is helping it rapidly turn the puzzle's colored panels in an imperceptibly fast sequence.
Astronomers may be watching a supermassive black hole "waking up" from a long slumber for the first time ever. The researchers think the black hole may have gotten its hands on a glut of new material to devour, causing an uptick in brightness.
NASA's Perseverance rover spotted a bizarrely light-toned boulder on Mars, the likes of which have never been seen before.
Two superluminous quasars, or active black holes at the centers of large galaxies, were found just 900 million years after the Big Bang — the earliest detection of a pair of merging quasars ever seen.
A new analysis of inexplicably young stars orbiting extremely close to the Milky Way's black hole heart reveals that they orbit around the gigantic structure in a surprisingly organized way, similar to swarming insects like bees.
Ugandan lion brothers Jacob and Tibu were filmed swimming a mile across the Kazinga Channel in Uganda — the longest swim ever recorded for the species —after getting their "butts kicked" by rival males.
Researchers examining the wall of a ceremonial tomb in Benin found proteins that could have come only from human blood.
New research suggests that runoff from the Greenland Ice Sheet could prevent icebergs from disrupting key ocean currents. But some scientists have cautioned that other factors may be at play.
A new study confirms that Earth's inner core has been rotating more slowly than usual since 2010. This mysterious "backtracking" could also end up slightly altering the planet's overall rotation, lengthening our days.
A low-mass star has been discovered racing through the Milky Way at over a million miles per hour, a journey that began with either the supernova explosion of a vampire star or an encounter with black holes.
Has a scholar located two Assyrian military camps mentioned in the Hebrew bible?
To assess risk from heat, scientists use the "wet bulb temperature," looking at the point where the human body isn't able to let enough heat out.
As we sleep, the brain rids itself of waste built up throughout the day. But how?
By analyzing the proteins in the blood, a new blood test and AI tool can identify which at-risk patients are most likely to develop Parkinson's disease.
Around 20% of cases of tuberculosis affect organs other than the lungs, and some can cause warty plaques on the skin.
Eight stone catapult shots used during the siege of Kenilworth Castle, which lasted 172 days in the 13th century, were unearthed in "perfect" condition.
Researchers have retrieved hundreds of artifacts, including porcelain items, copper coins and ornate pieces of pottery.
Cancer treatments aim to kill tumor cells, and the immune system is tasked with getting rid of the resulting cellular corpses.
A new study suggests an earthquake of estimated magnitude 7.5 or 8 shook the Indian subcontinent 2,500 years ago, changing the course of the Ganges.
New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed that a distant protostar is actually a pair of baby binary stars that are spitting out parallel energy jets as they gobble up giant disks of gas and dust.
