The Periodic Table of Elements lists the 118 chemical elements that make up everything in our world. Some you're familiar with—Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, etc. Others maybe less so—Vanadium, Germanium...

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...
