In the quest to understand the fundamental forces of nature, scientists have turned their attention to a long-debated theory: the existence of a fifth force. A recent study,published in Nature ...

The authors use the state-of-art tracking data for the asteroid Bennu from the OSIRIS-REx mission to derive the tightest limits on fifth forces and ultralight dark matter at the lengths of solar ...

What Osiris-REx’s hypersonic capsule return could teach researchers about asteroids hitting Earth’s atmosphere, and the genetic studies that could help restore the genomes of Scotland’s ...

Last month, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft garnered global attention as it successfully delivered a cache of asteroid Bennu's regolith, unlocking a potential treasure trove of knowledge about the ...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx dropped off the Bennu asteroid sample last month. Scientists discovered the rocky surface contains carbon and evidence of water.

The OSIRIS-REx mission, launched with the goal of collecting 60 grams of asteroid material from Bennu and bringing it back to Earth, has now delivered its payload. NASA experts have been meticulously ...

After also building a 3D model of one of the asteroid particles, this early look confirmed abundant amounts of carbon and water present in the sample.

The Osiris-Rex teams aim to have a raft of studies completed in time to report at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in March.

NASA scientists revealed the sample collected by the OSIRIS-REx mission from near-Earth asteroid Bennu for the first time Wednesday.

X-ray imagery was used to produce 3D models of one sample of particles, which revealed a rich interior boasting a variety of features that included the earliest evidence of an abundance of carbon and ...

NASA's OSIRIS-REx asteroid probe captured photos during the release of its return capsule last month, preserving the historic moment for posterity.
