Scientists have recorded a song coming from a volcano. They think the musical notes may someday be useful for predicting when a dangerous eruption might occur.

For decades, U.S. astronauts and Russian cosmonauts have lived side-by-side aboard the International Space Station. Now some are wondering whether that partnership can withstand the war in Ukraine.

As Americans commemorate a million deaths due to COVID-19, the partisan divide of who has gotten sick and died continues to grow, mostly due to disinformation about the vaccines.

Stephanie was usually careful about her health and regular vaccinations. But then she got into sharing far-out videos and fringe ideas. When COVID hit, misinformation put her and her husband at risk.

The satellite image lends credence to the idea that Russia may have exposed its troops to unhealthy levels of radioactivity.

Amazon has announced plans to launch thousands of new satellites into orbit over the next five years. Some experts fear that it will overwhelm the world's ability to manage congestion in space.

Images of Ukraine are flooding social media, but experts warn they don't show the full picture and can sometimes give a misleading account of the conflict on the ground.

An NPR analysis of security footage and photos following the attack on Europe's largest nuclear power plant shows that many of the plant's critical safety systems were in the field of Russian fire.

Emergency diesel generators are providing power to critical safety systems at the facility, but they have only enough fuel for 48 hours.

A torrent of satellite images and cell phone videos are shaping the public's view of the war in Ukraine. The speed and scale at which the information spreads is powerful, but it can also be deceiving.

Heavy fighting caused a fire to break out near one of the Zaporizhzhia plant's six reactors, but Ukrainian authorities say the fire has been extinguished. Here's what we know.

A fire at Europe's largest nuclear power plant is out — it had been attacked by Russian troops in Ukraine. The U.S. Department of Energy activated its nuclear incident response team as a precaution.

The head of the U.N. atomic watchdog says there was no release of radioactive material after a projectile hit a building at the plant facility.

Russian troops appear to be at the entrance of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant and are engaged in active combat. Footage shows what looks like a fire in one of its administrative buildings.

Russian President Vladimir Putin gave orders to his nation's nuclear forces over the weekend, but their exact meaning is unclear. Russia has more nuclear weapons than any other nation.

Scientists are piecing together what led up to a massive eruption in Tonga last month. They found a likely sequence of events.

An anti-vaccine group known for spreading medical disinformation is writing prescriptions for unproven COVID-19 treatments, with the help of a doctor whose medical license was revoked in Alabama.

A station to detect nuclear weapons tests picked up the volcanic eruption in Tonga from Antarctica. Some experts say the blast could be more than 50 megatons, while NASA estimates 6-10 megatons.

Researchers who have been studying the volcano since 2015 say it was likely caused by seawater flowing into a chamber filled with magma.
