Scientists discover a natural Arctic cloud factory missing from climate models
Scientists have identified a previously unknown natural process in the Arctic that produces cloud-forming particles, with implications for climate models and Arctic warming.
Plantwatch: Cities make a surprising refuge for threatened UK wildflowers
UK cities are emerging as unexpected sanctuaries for threatened wildflowers, offering specialized habitats and low-fertility soils where native plants can flourish amid urban environments.
Tiny quantum engines reveal useful energy hiding in “waste heat”
Researchers at the University of Basel developed a theoretical framework reconciling quantum physics and thermodynamics to identify useful work hiding in light emissions from tiny quantum engines.
Giant whales move into Greenland waters as ice disappears
A decades-long study finds giant whales including humpbacks, minke, and fin whales are moving into previously ice-locked coastal waters off East Greenland as sea ice disappears due to climate change.
Black holes keep tearing these stars apart, but they survive
Researchers explain why some stars repeatedly torn apart by black holes produce progressively fainter light bursts—their rapid pre-encounter rotation prevents additional acceleration during subsequent passages.
Artemis II crew to receive top US space medal for historic lunar journey
The Artemis II crew will receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor on August 28 for their historic lunar flyby mission that set a new distance record from Earth.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered an earlier, simpler version of Stonehenge about 3 miles away consisting of two wooden post holes aligned with solstices, predating the famous monument by 500 years.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur bone stored in a British museum drawer for 40 years has been confirmed as Antarctica’s first-ever discovered dinosaur fossil, belonging to a long-necked Titanosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period.
Tiny robots powered by light can hunt down and collect bacteria
Researchers have developed nanorobots smaller than one micrometer that are powered and steered by light, capable of locating, collecting, and transporting bacteria in microscopic environments.
Cancer-fighting chewing gum cuts HPV levels by up to 93%
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania developed a bioengineered chewing gum that reduced HPV levels by 93% in patient samples, potentially offering a new approach to head and neck cancer treatment.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
Britain faces proposed cuts to particle physics funding that could limit involvement in major international research collaborations, sparking debate over blue-sky versus applied research priorities.
Scientists just 3D printed one of the hardest metals on Earth
Researchers have successfully 3D printed tungsten carbide-cobalt, an extremely hard industrial material, using a laser and heated wire technique that could reduce manufacturing waste and costs.
DNA on the Shroud of Turin reveals centuries of hidden history
Advanced DNA analysis of the Shroud of Turin reveals complex biological material accumulated over centuries, including human DNA, microorganisms, plant and animal traces from various environments and handling.
Strange quantum experiment shows “negative time” is more than an illusion
A quantum physics experiment demonstrates that photons can spend negative amounts of time interacting with atoms, a phenomenon with measurable effects beyond mathematical artifact.
These underwater bones could solve a mystery about extinct giants
Researchers at Griffith University developed a framework for interpreting how bones accumulate and preserve in underwater caves, offering insights into extinct megafauna remains.
This hydrogen turbine turns controlled explosions into electricity
Researchers at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have operated a hydrogen turbine using pressure-gain combustion for over five minutes, surpassing previous records and advancing clean energy technology.
518-million-year-old creature reveals the origins of spider fangs
Scientists have identified the earliest known precursor to spider fangs in a 518 million-year-old fossil from the early Cambrian Period, revealing how these hunting structures evolved.
Restricted eating hours may reduce cognitive decline in older age, researchers find
A pilot study found hints that older women who ate within a nine-hour window showed better cognitive performance on certain mental skills tests than those who spread meals over longer periods.
Google pauses AI satellite images, after fears of deepfakes in the sky
Google removed an AI-generated satellite imagery tool from Google Earth just one day after its launch, citing concerns about potential deepfake creation and policy violations.
Some coastal cities are sinking faster than the ocean is rising
Coastal cities worldwide are sinking faster than oceans are rising, with heavily populated regions experiencing relative sea level rise nearly three times the global average due to land subsidence from groundwater pumping and other factors.
Scientists went looking for giant trees in Taiwan and found a lost world
Scientists in Taiwan discovered an 84.1-meter-tall Taiwania fir in 2023, recognized as East Asia’s tallest tree, while mapping hundreds of giant trees using LiDAR technology and citizen scientists.
