Physicists propose that quantum mechanics may be formulated using only real numbers rather than complex numbers, challenging decades of mathematical convention in the field.

A new study warns that methane from spacecraft exhaust could contaminate the moon’s ice-rich polar regions within days, potentially destroying pristine chemical evidence about life’s origins on Earth.

Citizen scientists using iNaturalist helped researchers more than double documented examples of parental care in harvestmen, revealing that fatherhood evolved through multiple independent pathways in these spider-like arachnids.

Researchers at CUNY have experimentally demonstrated wave amplification inspired by theories about energy extraction from black holes, using synthetic rotation in a stationary radio frequency device.

Scientists discovered that deep-sea pressure forces nutrients from sinking marine snow particles, providing an unexpected food source for ocean microbes and potentially reshaping understanding of Earth’s carbon cycle.
