A strange crystal made of electrons just revealed its hidden motion
Researchers developed a light-based method to observe electron motion in Wigner crystals, revealing previously hidden collective behavior in this exotic quantum state of matter.
James Webb captures a cosmic lion sculpted by a dying star
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured detailed infrared images of NGC 2392, a planetary nebula shaped like a lion’s head, revealing structures created by a dying star at its center.
Scientists turn sheep’s wool into a material that helps regrow bone
Scientists at King’s College London have developed a wool-based material containing keratin that successfully supported bone regeneration in animal tests, offering a sustainable alternative to current bone repair methods.
3,500-year-old skeletons challenge what scientists thought they knew about syphilis
A study of 3,500-year-old skeletal remains from Vietnam reveals that congenital transmission of treponemal disease may not be exclusive to venereal syphilis, challenging long-held assumptions about identifying ancient infections.
Scientists turn Starlink into a giant scanner for Earth’s upper atmosphere
Researchers at Kyoto University developed a technique using Starlink satellites and tomography to measure Earth’s upper atmosphere density, potentially improving satellite collision forecasting.
Vultures are disappearing in Nigeria – but the ‘vulture king’ and others are fighting back
Vulture populations across West Africa face near-extinction from hunting linked to traditional beliefs, but one Nigerian community protected by sacred forest status is successfully reversing the decline.
Roman shipwreck with 500 amphorae found off coast of Sicily
A 2,100-year-old Roman shipwreck carrying approximately 500 amphorae has been discovered off the coast of Sicily, described by Italy’s culture minister as one of the most important underwater archaeological discoveries in recent years.
Astronomers discover a new kind of cosmic object – a black hole ‘star’
Astronomers have identified a new cosmic object called a black hole “star” spanning the size of the solar system, emitting 100 billion times more energy than known stars while displaying characteristics of both black holes and stars.
A stress hormone may help the brain repair itself
Researchers identified that a stress hormone called corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) helps regulate brain cell maturation and myelin repair following injury in mice.
Milky Way flipped in collision with dwarf galaxy 10bn years ago, astronomers say
Astronomers found that the Milky Way was flipped on its side about 10 billion years ago when struck head-on by a dwarf galaxy called the Gaia Sausage, which the galaxy subsequently absorbed.
New programmable photonic chip can control how fast light moves
Researchers developed a programmable photonic chip that can control light speed dynamically, potentially enabling more efficient optical computing systems for data centers and AI applications.
Rivers of magma once bubbled beneath crust of Mars, research suggests
Research suggests Mars once had vast underground magma rivers, indicating the planet may have supported life and expanding the pool of potentially habitable rocky worlds.
Pembrokeshire space radar plan to be considered by Welsh government
Welsh government ministers will decide on a Ministry of Defence plan to build 27 massive radar dishes at a Pembrokeshire barracks as part of a trilateral AUKUS security partnership.
A strange quantum effect dramatically boosts energy transfer
Researchers discovered a quantum effect where proton movement dramatically enhances triplet energy transfer in materials, with potential applications in solar cells, lasers, and catalysis.
Ancient ferns turned Triassic Europe into a wildfire inferno
Ancient ferns may have fueled massive wildfires across Triassic Europe during a mass extinction event roughly 201 million years ago, creating a destructive feedback cycle.
A strange transmissible cancer is spreading through the catfish in this lake
Researchers have identified a transmissible skin cancer spreading among brown bullhead catfish in Lake Memphremagog, marking the first known instance of such a cancer in fish species.
Scientists discover the Sun contains 55% more silver than expected
Researchers at Uppsala University have determined the Sun contains 55% more silver than previously calculated, using advanced atmospheric modeling to resolve a discrepancy with meteorite measurements.
Venus may be tearing itself apart from within
New computer simulations suggest Venus’s massive rift valleys may be geologically younger than previously thought, indicating the planet remains tectonically active despite its extreme surface conditions.
The Universe can outrun light without breaking Einstein’s rules
The expanding universe allows space itself to expand faster than light without violating Einstein’s relativity, enabling observation of galaxies up to 45 billion light-years away despite the universe’s age of 13.77 billion years.
Scientists put the “recycling is a distraction” claim to the test
Australian researchers found no evidence that personal climate actions like recycling reduce support for broader climate policies, challenging the “distraction” argument.
Artemis II: The 40 minutes when the astronauts lose contact with Earth
Artemis II astronauts will lose radio contact with Earth for approximately 40 minutes as their spacecraft passes behind the Moon, a moment reminiscent of Apollo-era missions.
