Scientists have further decoded the phenomenon that led Mars to lose the equivalent of a global ocean of water up to hundreds of feet deep over billions of years.
Researchers have discovered new drug compounds that target a protein which enables the novel coronavirus and other viruses with pandemic potential to replicate in human cells, an advance that may lead to new therapeutics for COVID-19.
NASA and SpaceX are now targeting Sunday for the launch of the Crew-1 mission to the International Space Station (ISS) due to onshore winds and first-stage booster recovery readiness.
Scientists have found a key factor which may explain why the novel coronavirus predominantly affects adults and older people while seeming to spare younger children, an advance that may lead to the development of new treatment strategies for COVID-19.
SpaceX delayed its second astronaut flight by a day because of high wind and weather conditions that could jeopardize the recovery and recycling of the rocket booster, pushing the launch to Sunday.
Astronomers have discovered the brightest infrared light from a short gamma-ray burst ever seen, with a bizarre glow that is much brighter than previously thought was possible.
Scientists have found that a drug commonly used to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD, if taken within seven days of first symptoms of COVID-19, may reduce the risk for respiratory deterioration, an advance that might lead to a new treatment strategy for the novel coronavirus infection.

Amid the Covid-19 pandemic, researchers have developed a special type of cotton face mask that kills up to 99.9999 per cent of bacteria and viruses within 60 minutes of daylight exposure.
Chemical engineers have developed a new way to stabilise vaccines with proteins instead of relying on refrigeration, an innovation that may help reduce wastage of the therapeutic during transportation and storage.
Scientists have used high-speed videos of air flow to show why masks with exhalation valves do not slow the spread of COVID-19.
Lung fibrosis' symptoms include shortness of breath, dry cough, feeling tired, weight loss and nail clubbing. People with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), also called lung fibrosis, have a life expectancy fewer than five years.
