Hottest-ever West summer inspires project to prevent extinctions
Scientists are updating conservation guidance for six endangered grassland species as the UK experiences record summer heat, aiming to help wildlife adapt to rapid climate change.
King penguin chick hatches in UK for first time in 12 years
A king penguin chick has hatched in the UK for the first time since 2014, marking a significant achievement for Birdland Park and Gardens in Gloucestershire.
Aditya-L1: Indian solar mission’s new findings throw light on enduring Sun mysteries
India’s Aditya-L1 solar mission has identified key mechanisms explaining why the Sun’s corona remains millions of degrees hotter than its surface despite frequent energy-losing eruptions.
Tiny graphene wrinkles create surprisingly powerful electrical effects
Researchers at Rice University demonstrate that tiny graphene wrinkles create surprisingly powerful electrical effects, offering a new method to control electricity in atomically thin materials through shape rather than chemistry.
Animals have been eating nature’s original bioplastic for millions of years
Researchers discovered that many animal species possess enzymes enabling them to break down polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs), natural microbial bioplastics that animals have likely consumed for millions of years.
A SpaceX rocket smashed into the Moon — NASA just revealed the crater
NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter photographed a newly formed crater on the Moon created when a SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage impacted the lunar surface on Aug. 5.
Scientists crushed diamond beyond Neptune-like pressures—and solved a 20-year mystery
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory used advanced laser techniques to measure diamond’s behavior under extreme pressure, resolving a two-decade mystery about its melting point and structure.
The “Asian water tower” is losing 24 billion tonnes of groundwater every year
Groundwater reserves in High Mountain Asia, which supplies water to over a billion people downstream, are declining by approximately 24.2 billion tonnes annually, according to a satellite-based study.
Scientists say the human family tree may need a major rewrite
Monash University researchers propose expanding the genus Homo to include Australopithecus and Paranthropus species, arguing that recent fossil discoveries and genetic analysis reveal traditional human taxonomy no longer accurately reflects our evolutionary history.
A strange quantum rule caps electrical resistance
Researchers studying ultracold atoms found that electrical resistance from particle collisions appears to reach a maximum limit rather than continuing to increase indefinitely.
This new alloy is up to 10 times stronger than steel and surprisingly flexible
Materials scientists at Purdue University have developed a cobalt-aluminum intermetallic alloy up to 10 times stronger than structural steel while maintaining significant flexibility, potentially enabling advanced turbine blades and aerospace components.
Strange gamma rays could reveal how stars forge heavy elements
An international research team has identified the source of puzzling low-energy gamma rays emitted by zinc-70 nuclei, finding that magnetic transitions within the nucleus produce the signal and advancing understanding of heavy element formation in space.
Black holes may spit out nearly as much matter as they swallow
Astronomers studying a black hole system found that it expels nearly as much matter as it consumes, suggesting black holes function as complex cosmic digestive systems rather than simple matter vacuums.
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 and repeatedly changes its optical behavior over time, potentially enabling ultrafast optical computers and advanced telecommunications.
Scientists left water inside a battery and nearly doubled its power
Scientists at the University of Surrey found that leaving water inside sodium-based battery material nearly doubled its energy storage capacity, potentially enabling batteries that also desalinate seawater.
Beavers helping to reduce drought with wetlands
Beavers are creating wetland areas that help reduce drought impacts by slowing water flow and providing wildlife refuge, according to University of Exeter research.
Milky Way flipped in collision with dwarf galaxy 10bn years ago, astronomers say
Astronomers found that the Milky Way was knocked on its side by a dwarf galaxy collision approximately 10 billion years ago, fundamentally reshaping the galaxy’s structure and orientation.
Rivers of magma once bubbled beneath crust of Mars, research suggests
Research using Mars seismic data suggests the planet once had vast underground magma systems, potentially making it more capable of supporting life and expanding the definition of habitable worlds.
New process turns plastic waste into hydrogen fuel while trapping the carbon
Researchers have demonstrated a chemical process that converts mixed plastic waste into high-purity hydrogen fuel while capturing carbon in solid mineral form, potentially addressing plastic recycling and clean energy challenges simultaneously.
Is the cyclosporiasis outbreak slowing? Test-makers are hopeful
A laboratory test maker reports signs that a major cyclosporiasis outbreak in the US may be slowing, though data limitations complicate the assessment of the outbreak’s true trajectory.
Scientists found two mysterious ‘ghost’ ancestors hiding in our DNA
Researchers at UC Berkeley identified two previously unknown human ancestors whose DNA persists in modern humans, revealing a complex history of interbreeding among multiple hominin populations over millions of years.
