Aditya-L1: Indian solar mission’s new findings throw light on enduring Sun mysteries
India’s Aditya-L1 solar mission has provided new insights into why the Sun’s corona remains millions of degrees hotter than its surface despite losing energy through eruptions.
Solar eclipse in the South West: Pac-man to Shinto myths
Crowds across the South West observed a rare solar eclipse on Wednesday evening as the Moon moved between Earth and the Sun, creating distinctive crescent shapes and sparking various reactions from spectators.
Starwatch: Vega the bright star will light the way to the constellation of Lyra
Vega, the fifth-brightest star in the night sky, serves as a guide to locating Lyra, one of the smallest but most recognizable constellations visible high overhead from the UK after dark.
Tiny graphene wrinkles create surprisingly powerful electrical effects
Rice University researchers demonstrate that tiny wrinkles in graphene can produce powerful electrical effects, validating decades-old theoretical predictions about flexoelectricity in atomically thin materials.
Animals have been eating nature’s original bioplastic for millions of years
Researchers found that diverse animals including marine worms and earthworms possess enzymes to break down polyhydroxyalkanoates, biodegradable plastics produced naturally by microorganisms.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
Britain faces significant cuts to particle physics funding and major research projects, threatening the nation’s leadership in blue-sky research that historically yielded transformative discoveries like the electron and DNA structure.

Why Jupiter has several giant moons but Saturn has only Titan
Jupiter’s stronger magnetic field may explain why it retains multiple giant moons while Saturn is dominated by a single large moon, according to new research using computational simulations.
500,000-year-old elephant bone hammer shows ancient humans were master toolmakers
Archaeologists in England have identified a 500,000-year-old hammer made from elephant bone, the oldest known elephant bone tool discovered in Europe, revealing sophisticated toolmaking abilities of early human ancestors.
These insect submariners survive depths that should crush them
Deep-diving insect larvae in an African lake use specialized air sacs lined with elastic material to survive extreme pressure, challenging theories about why insects are absent from the ocean.
Earth’s waters are quietly running out of oxygen, scientists warn
Scientists warn that dissolved oxygen is disappearing rapidly from oceans and freshwater systems, potentially creating unsafe conditions that could persist for centuries.
Some dinosaurs could rise like giants until they grew too big
New research suggests some long-necked dinosaurs could stand upright on hind legs, particularly when younger, potentially to access high vegetation or attract mates before growing too large.
Scientists discover the hidden brain switch that assigns bees their jobs
Scientists identified brain circuits that control job assignments in bee colonies by manipulating a gene that influences age-dependent worker behavior, offering insights into how colonies organize without central leadership.
