A pizza-sized ocean predator and a tribe are trying to protect each other. Here’s how
The Samish Indian Nation and University of Washington researchers released 20 lab-bred sunflower stars into Pacific waters to restore the critically endangered species devastated by wasting disease.
Pollen has a surprising problem — and honeybees have found a way around it
Honeybees can regulate their food intake based on amino acid balance in pollen, a discovery that could help protect pollinator populations and guide conservation efforts.
Astronomers detect fastest known star in Milky Way
Astronomers have identified the fastest known star in the Milky Way, designated S301, orbiting the galaxy’s central supermassive black hole at approximately 25,000 km per second.
Researchers reveal deeper workings of brain’s information hub
Researchers at the University of Iowa have revealed how the brain’s frontoparietal cortex dynamically adjusts its communication patterns to manage information flow during decision-making under uncertainty.
MIT physicists discover electrons rebuilding like ice inside a quantum material
MIT physicists discovered that electrons in a quantum material organize into two distinct patterns that coexist like an atomic checkerboard, with one phase rebuilding gradually and the other through isolated expanding regions.
Queen bees have a disturbing way to survive pesticides
New research reveals that queen honeybees exposed to pesticides over time transfer accumulated chemicals into their eggs as a self-protective mechanism, a process researchers call maternal offloading.
This shark can live 400 years. Its eyes barely seem to age
Greenland sharks can live 400 years, and new research reveals their eyes show no signs of age-related degeneration despite extreme Arctic conditions and parasitic infections.
Physicists create a tiny “Big Bang” with surprisingly small atomic nuclei
Physicists at the University of Copenhagen recreated primordial matter from the early Universe using collisions between smaller atomic nuclei than previously thought possible, offering new insights into cosmic history and nuclear physics.
Scientists left this farm field alone. Thousands of orchids appeared
Research on a Norfolk field left fallow for over a decade shows abandoned farmland can naturally develop into species-rich wildflower meadows without expensive interventions or artificial seeding.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur tail bone discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and forgotten in a drawer for four decades has been confirmed as the first dinosaur fossil ever found on the continent.
World-class Jodrell Bank is under threat and UK risks a physics brain drain
Jodrell Bank, a world-leading UK radio astronomy facility, faces closure after the Science and Technology Facilities Council announced plans to withdraw funding in March 2028, threatening the nation’s astronomy research capabilities.
World-first photonic time crystal opens a new era of light control
An international research team has created the first all-optical photonic time crystal, a material that rapidly alters its optical behavior over time, opening possibilities for ultrafast computing and advanced telecommunications.
Scientists catch a “jumping gene” mid-leap between species
Scientists observed a jumping gene attempting to transfer between microbial species, suggesting a previously unknown mechanism for genetic exchange that differs from traditional viral or plasmid transport routes.
Did T. rex leave these 66-million-year-old bite marks?
Researchers identified tooth marks on 66-million-year-old dinosaur bones in Wyoming that were likely made by Tyrannosaurus rex, offering insights into prehistoric feeding behavior and ecosystem interactions.
A solar eclipse and the Perseid meteor shower arrive on the same day
A total solar eclipse crosses the Northern Hemisphere on August 12, while the Perseid meteor shower peaks that same night under dark skies created by the New Moon.
A colossal magma system has been hiding beneath Tuscany
Scientists have discovered approximately 6,000 cubic kilometers of magma hidden 8 to 15 kilometers beneath Tuscany using seismic imaging, despite the region showing few volcanic warning signs.
This school-bus-sized “terror croc” ate dinosaurs. Now it’s back
A 31-foot prehistoric crocodilian that hunted dinosaurs in the eastern United States has been reconstructed as a full-scale skeleton replica, now displayed at a Georgia science museum.
SpaceX: What can scientists learn from a Falcon 9 rocket hitting the Moon?
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket upper stage struck the Moon near Einstein crater, creating a research opportunity for scientists to study crater formation and lunar geology.
80-million-year-old snake brain reveals a surprising evolutionary secret
Scientists analyzing an 80-million-year-old snake brain from Brazil discovered that early snakes occupied multiple habitats and developed diverse sensory adaptations rather than following a single evolutionary path.
See the Sun like never before with most detailed images yet
Scientists using Hawaii’s most powerful solar telescope have captured unprecedented images of the Sun’s surface, revealing magnetic swirling patterns that drive space weather affecting Earth’s infrastructure and astronauts.
Racy short story by Alan Turing offers glimpse of ‘playful, funny, cheeky’ side
A Cambridge professor has transcribed Alan Turing’s previously unstudied short story, arguing it reveals a playful, literary figure rather than the isolated mathematician portrayed in popular culture.
