A new discovery could represent the most concrete evidence of alien life to-date, but scientists caution that further studies are needed.

A team of Cambridge researchers studying the atmosphere of a planet called K2-18b discovered chemical signatures of dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS). The molecules ...

Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system, although they ...

The discovery was made on a massive exoplanet known as K2-18b that that for years has captivated scientists searching for ...

U.S. team of researchers detected signs of two chemicals in the planet's atmosphere long considered to be "biosignatures" indicating extraterrestrial life.

Researchers at Cambridge University's Institute of Astronomy have found evidence that could support proof of life on K2-18b, ...

In a stunning new finding, astronomers have uncovered the strongest evidence yet of life existing beyond our solar system. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers from the University of ...

In a potential landmark discovery, scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have obtained what they call the strongest ...

Despite decades of searching for this signal, astronomers have yet to find it. The problem is that our Earth is too noisy, making it nearly impossible to capture this whisper. The solution is to go to ...

A new AI model from the University of Bern predicts planetary systems likely to host Earth-like planets. It could boost the ...

The cluster, full of more than 2,500 newborn stars that blaze blue in the Hubble image, is in a galaxy with far fewer heavy chemical substances than the Milky Way. It's mostly made of hydrogen and ...

The easiest way to time travel is more simple than you realise - and it doesn't involve any fancy equipment, say scientists.
