Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
Britain is preparing to cancel its contribution to major particle physics upgrades, raising concerns among scientists about funding cuts to fundamental research amid government emphasis on applied science priorities.
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 the Pacific Ocean to help restore the critically endangered species decimated by disease.
Pollen has a surprising problem — and honeybees have found a way around it
Research shows honeybees can adjust their feeding based on amino acid balance in pollen, and they process pollen into nutrient-rich foods for larvae, compensating for nutritional gaps in individual plant sources.
MIT physicists discover electrons rebuilding like ice inside a quantum material
MIT researchers observed how two distinct electron wave patterns in a quantum material rebuild after disruption, revealing they form through fundamentally different mechanisms.
Scientists turn sheep’s wool into a material that helps regrow bone
Scientists have discovered that wool-based keratin can effectively support bone regeneration in living animals, potentially offering a sustainable alternative to collagen scaffolds used in bone repair.
Scientists turn Starlink into a giant scanner for Earth’s upper atmosphere
Researchers at Kyoto University developed a technique using Starlink satellite data and medical imaging methods to create detailed maps of Earth’s upper atmosphere, potentially improving satellite collision prediction.
A 60-year-old theory about ants, bees and wasps may be wrong
A new study challenges a 60-year-old theory that a genetic system in ants, bees and wasps explains their complex societies, suggesting other biological traits may be more important.
A black hole shredded a “super sun” — but something strange may have survived
Astronomers observed a black hole tearing apart and consuming a massive star in a rare extreme cosmic event that released energy levels far exceeding known supernovae.
A new Ice Age species was hiding in la brea tar pits fossils for decades
Researchers at La Brea Tar Pits identified a previously unknown Ice Age spadefoot toad species in decades-old fossil collections, offering insights into ancient climate conditions near Los Angeles.
Superheated magma may power towering lava fountains
Scientists found that superheating in magma can delay crystal formation, potentially explaining why volcanoes erupt differently and may influence whether lava fountains or slower eruptions occur.
Tiny aerosol particles could supercharge tropical storm clouds
Tropical storm clouds may be strengthened by tiny aerosol particles under specific atmospheric conditions, according to aircraft measurements collected over the Philippines and coastal regions.
Ant brains reveal how evolution turned hunger into parenting
A study of clonal raider ants reveals that evolution adapted ancient hunger-regulating brain systems to enable parental caregiving, rather than creating entirely new neural pathways for nurturing behavior.
Tiny black holes may be secretly exploding stars across the Milky Way
Researchers propose that primordial black holes may trigger white dwarf explosions as Type Ia supernovae, potentially explaining chemical patterns observed in Milky Way stars.
NASA’s Curiosity rover finds a mysterious honeycomb landscape on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover discovered an extensive honeycomb-patterned landscape in a Martian valley, with polygonal formations stretching across terrain in all directions.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
Britain faces potential cuts to major particle physics projects, threatening the country’s leadership in fundamental research that historically produced groundbreaking discoveries like the Higgs boson.
Sweden’s hidden rare earth deposits could help break China’s grip
Swedish researchers are investigating how the country’s rare earth mineral deposits could enable more sustainable magnet production and reduce dependence on Chinese manufacturing.
Scientists create an “electron lighthouse” with laser light
University of Michigan researchers created a semiconductor device using laser light to direct electron movement without electrical fields, potentially enabling advanced sensing and telecommunications applications.
Blazing like 10 billion suns: NASA’s Swift sees a wandering black hole devouring a star
NASA’s Swift Observatory detected a rare supermassive black hole far from its galaxy’s center devouring a star, validating a new technique to find wandering black holes previously hidden from view.
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft aces Mars flyby capturing stunning timelapse video
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft successfully completed a Mars flyby in May, using the planet’s gravity to adjust its course toward asteroid Psyche while testing instruments for the 2029 arrival.
Hidden charcoal reveals the true age of ancient cave paintings
Scientists have determined the age of black paintings in a French cave using hidden charcoal traces, revealing some artwork was created across widely separated time periods spanning thousands of years.
How scientists finally confirmed rare pink seaweed as new species
Scientists have confirmed a rare pink-striped seaweed discovered in UK maerl beds 40 years ago as a new species, after researchers found sufficient samples for DNA analysis.
