NASA’s $4.3 billion Nancy Grace Roman space telescope launched Sunday from Florida after surviving proposed budget cuts, beginning its million-mile journey to search for exoplanets and study dark matter and dark energy.

Chinese scientists discovered a hidden atomic structure that forms during methane oxidation reactions, enabling highly efficient catalysts with significantly lower nickel content than previously thought necessary.

Scientists propose a new strategy to improve insect conservation in tropical regions, where over 80% of insect species live but where knowledge gaps remain significant.

Researchers traced Britain’s tallest prehistoric stone row, the Devil’s Arrows, to a source 11 miles away at Brimham Rocks, suggesting ancient builders deliberately selected distant stones despite enormous transportation challenges.

A survey of hundreds of astrobiologists reveals cautious skepticism about recent claims of extraterrestrial life discoveries, with only 6.6% agreeing about K2-18b and 15.1% about Mars findings.

Researchers found evidence that Indonesian foragers sucked on psychoactive betel nuts as long as 25,000 years ago, marking possibly the earliest known human drug use.

An international research team has experimentally demonstrated the optical Magnus effect, where focused laser light’s strongest interaction with an ion shifts slightly sideways, a finding potentially significant for quantum computing precision.

Austrian researchers are constructing a microscope combining electron microscopy with quantum computing to extract more information from individual electrons, potentially enabling clearer images with reduced sample damage.

A global survey of physicists reveals limited consensus on major questions, with most standard answers failing to win majority support across topics like dark matter, quantum gravity, and dark energy.
