The biggest breakthrough in modern theoretical physics is the discovery that gravity can collapse the dimensions of space. Physicists don’t yet understand the implications.

Asteroid Alyankovic was discovered in 1981 and resides in the main belt of asteroids found between Mars and Jupiter.

The LIGO Collaboration used its latest gravitational-wave catalog to put Einstein’s famous theory through a series of tests.

Toronto-based Canada Rocket Company is readying this year for hot-fire testing of engine components for its R-2 rocket. The startup is one of three Canadian companies that earlier this year received…

For 27 years, the Southwest has been gripped by a historic drought. Scientists think it might be here to stay.

All matter particles can act as waves, and massless light waves show particle-like behavior. Can gravitational waves also be particle-like?

The US astronomer battled discrimination in a male dominated field.

Canadian government funding recruits top talent as ‘parts of the world are turning away from science.’

Canadian universities have recruited dozens of foreign scientists and researchers, many of them poached from prestigious U.S. institutions.

Moderate G1 and G2 geomagnetic storms are forecast during the Aug. 27-28 partial lunar eclipse, with the northern lights potentially visible across several northern U.S. states.

Black holes are sneaky.

Few things distinguish us from our neighbours to the south more quickly than calling the last letter of the alphabet zed instead of zee, but why do we do it?

Scientists observing clusters of stars congregated near the Milky Way's centre have discovered evidence that our galaxy swallowed a smaller galaxy roughly 11.8 billion years ago, when the universe was...

Astronomers have discovered the fastest known star in our galaxy, the Milky Way, orbiting the black hole at its centre. The star, named S301, was detected with the European Southern Observatory’s Very...

Astronomers have spotted runaway black holes screaming through space, leaving trails of stars in in their wake.

Despite hundreds of public comments opposing a giant space mirror that would shine light roughly five kilometres wide, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has given it the green light. W...

It's a sweet discovery that has the science world talking — and may help us better understand the origins of life on Earth.

Most Americans would be surprised to learn that both political symbols – the donkey for Democrats and the elephant for Republicans – were popularized by the same maverick cartoonist: Thomas Nast.
