Neptune’s tiny moons may be the wreckage of shattered ancient worlds
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope detected unexpected clay minerals on Neptune’s inner moons, suggesting they may be remnants of larger celestial bodies destroyed by the capture of the moon Triton.
Einstein’s biggest “mistake” came back — and changed cosmology forever
Einstein’s cosmological constant, once dismissed as his greatest mistake, has become central to modern cosmology after observations revealed the universe’s expansion is accelerating, not slowing.
Scientists may have finally proved that “empty” space isn’t really empty
Astronomers may have detected vacuum birefringence, a quantum phenomenon predicted nearly 90 years ago, by observing an extremely magnetic neutron star using specialized space telescopes.
After record heat, could the Atlantic make Britain’s weather even more extreme?
Scientists are monitoring the Atlantic’s ocean currents using robotic floats and satellite data to understand whether a major system influencing global climate could weaken or shift as the planet warms.
‘Real mummy’s curse’: health warning over growing trade in mummified human remains
Academics warn that a growing global trade in mummified human remains poses serious health risks from dormant microorganisms and toxic preservation materials, with items often transported through postal services without proper safety protocols.
Paleontology rocked by organic molecules found in 66-million-year-old dinosaur bones
Researchers detected remnants of collagen protein in a 66-million-year-old dinosaur hip bone, providing strong evidence that organic molecules can survive fossilization for tens of millions of years.
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 by improving how heat is managed in quantum systems.
Scientists detect a nuclear reactor’s ghostly afterglow for the first time
Scientists have detected antineutrino emissions from a shut-down nuclear reactor for the first time, opening new possibilities for monitoring reactor status and spent-fuel inventories independent of other methods.
Scientists hope to shed light on young universe by using far side of the moon
Scientists plan to deploy a compact satellite called CosmoCube to orbit the far side of the moon to detect radio signals from the early universe, potentially revealing details about cosmic origins.
Scientists discover the Sun contains 55% more silver than expected
Researchers at Uppsala University have determined the Sun contains 55% more silver than previously estimated, using improved atmospheric models and spectroscopy techniques.
Venus may be tearing itself apart from within
New computer simulations suggest some of Venus’s enormous rift valleys may be much younger than previously thought, indicating the planet remains geologically active with potentially young tectonic features.
Scientists put the “recycling is a distraction” claim to the test
Scientists found no evidence that personal climate actions like recycling reduce support for broader climate policies, challenging the “recycling is a distraction” argument.
Twisted laser light can tell mirror-image molecules apart
Researchers have demonstrated that specially engineered laser light with controlled spin and twist can distinguish between mirror-image molecules, offering a simpler method for detecting molecular handedness.
‘Ozempic face’ and hair loss: what evidence is there for weight-loss drug side-effects?
Weight-loss drugs like Wegovy and Mounjaro have sparked reports of various side effects, ranging from well-documented digestive issues to contested claims about facial changes and hair loss.
Scientists create an “electron lighthouse” with laser light
University of Michigan researchers developed a semiconductor device that uses laser light to direct electron flow without electric fields, potentially enabling advanced sensing, imaging, and telecommunications technologies.
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 a galaxy’s center as it tore apart and consumed a star, validating a new technique for finding displaced black holes.
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 trajectory toward asteroid Psyche while testing its scientific instruments.
Hidden charcoal reveals the true age of ancient cave paintings
Scientists have accurately dated black paintings in Font-de-Gaume cave in France by detecting hidden charcoal in the pigment, revealing some artwork was created across different periods separated by thousands of years.
A slowing Atlantic current could unleash stronger California storms
A slowing Atlantic Ocean current could intensify storms along California’s coast while reducing snowfall over Greenland, according to new University of California research published in Nature Communications.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
Britain faces potential cuts to particle physics and astronomy research funding, threatening its involvement in major international experiments and raising concerns about the future of blue-sky research.
Scientists found mystery bacteria inside one of the ocean’s most elusive whales
Scientists identified three previously unknown Helicobacter bacterial genotypes in pygmy sperm whales, discovered through examinations of stranded animals along the southeastern United States.
