2,200-year-old Roman shipwreck reveals ancient waterproofing secrets
Researchers analyzing a 2,200-year-old Roman shipwreck off Croatia’s coast discovered ancient waterproofing techniques using pine tar and beeswax, with pollen analysis revealing where materials were sourced.
Scientists catch a hidden electronic state forming in just 30 femtoseconds
Researchers in Japan observed a fleeting electronic transformation in a metal-organic framework forming in just 30 femtoseconds, revealing a previously unknown intermediate state that could inform light-based material control.
World’s first superconducting quantum heat engine could help unlock massive quantum computers
Researchers at Aalto University have demonstrated the world’s first superconducting quantum heat engine, which could advance quantum computing technology and deepen understanding of quantum thermodynamics.
Scientists detect a nuclear reactor’s ghostly afterglow for the first time
Scientists detected antineutrino emissions from a shut-down nuclear reactor for the first time, revealing that radioactive decay continues long after reactors are switched off.
Scientists hope to shed light on young universe by using far side of the moon
Scientists plan to deploy a small satellite around the moon’s far side to detect radio signals from the early universe, potentially revealing information about the cosmos shortly after the big bang.
Science or fiction? Shadowy ‘paper mills’ let you pay to be a published author – of fraudulent research
Researchers tracking “paper mills”—organizations selling fraudulent academic authorship—have documented over 18,000 advertisements offering falsified research papers and intellectual property registrations for as little as $30 to $800.
Scientists turn DNA into a memory device that uses 100x less power
Penn State researchers developed a bio-hybrid memory device combining synthetic DNA and perovskite that consumes 100 times less power than traditional storage while maintaining higher capacity.
Tiny 1.7-billion-year-old fossils could reveal how complex life began
Scientists are studying 1.7-billion-year-old microfossils to understand how eukaryotes emerged and eventually led to complex life on Earth, with implications for detecting life elsewhere in the universe.
Webb’s mysterious little red dots may be hiding entire galaxies
Astronomers studying a galaxy nicknamed the “Saguaro” suggest that mysterious distant red objects observed by the James Webb Space Telescope may be entire galaxies with faint surroundings, not isolated sources.
A slowing Atlantic current could unleash stronger California storms
A weakening Atlantic Ocean current could intensify storms along California’s coast while reducing precipitation over Greenland, according to new University of California research.
Earth’s hidden “gold kitchen” lies beneath the seafloor
Scientists studying volcanic glass from seafloor regions find that repeated mantle melting beneath island arcs concentrates gold at unusually high levels, offering new insights into gold enrichment in subduction zones.
Why are so many dead bumblebees appearing on sidewalks?
Dead bumblebees appearing on sidewalks during summer months result from natural colony maintenance, heat stress, pesticide use, and habitat loss, with climate change exacerbating population declines.
Animal spillover? Lab leak? What the science says about the origins of COVID-19
Debate continues over COVID-19’s origins as a Senate hearing revives questions about animal spillover versus laboratory leak theories, though most virologists support the animal origin explanation.
Fossil hunter discovers rare ‘sea dragon’ at Lavernock Point
A mountaineer recovered from a near-fatal avalanche by turning to fossil hunting, discovering a rare marine reptile jawbone from 200 million years ago at a Welsh beach.
Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming
Scientists have detected a statistically significant acceleration in global warming since around 2015, with temperatures rising at roughly 0.35°C per decade—nearly double the rate from 1970 to 2015.
Mysterious Milky Way object accelerates protons beyond one quadrillion electron volts
Scientists have identified a cosmic object in the Milky Way that accelerates protons to energies exceeding one quadrillion electron volts, advancing understanding of high-energy cosmic rays.
Dark matter’s secret force does the opposite of what scientists expected
Scientists exploring whether dark matter experiences hidden forces find that an additional attractive force tends to slow cosmic structure growth rather than accelerate it, contrary to expectations.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered an earlier wooden post structure 3 miles from Stonehenge, dated to 5,000 years ago, that aligned with summer and winter solstices similarly to the famous monument.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
Scientists have confirmed that a fossil stored in a drawer for 40 years is Antarctica’s first-ever discovered dinosaur bone, a tail vertebra from a Titanosaur collected in 1985.
The search for life on Jupiter’s icy moon Europa just got more complicated
New research suggests water from Jupiter’s moon Europa’s deep ocean may struggle to reach the surface through ice fractures, complicating the search for extraterrestrial life.
