Scientists turn Starlink into a giant scanner for Earth’s upper atmosphere
Researchers at Kyoto University used Starlink satellite data and tomography techniques to map Earth’s upper atmosphere, creating the first two-dimensional snapshot of thermospheric density to improve satellite collision predictions.
Astronomers discover a new kind of cosmic object – a black hole ‘star’
Astronomers have identified a new cosmic object called a black hole “star” located billions of light-years away, which is solar system-sized and emits extraordinary energy levels.
‘A mouse can’t tell us what works’: UK scientists to grow miniature human organs for drug testing
UK scientists will grow miniature human organs from NHS patients’ cells to improve drug testing and reduce animal use in research and development.
This hydrogen turbine turns controlled explosions into electricity
Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology operated a hydrogen turbine for 303 seconds using pressure-gain combustion, surpassing NASA’s previous record and advancing clean energy technology.
Sunlight creates quantum entanglement once thought to require lasers
Researchers demonstrated that sunlight can generate quantum entanglement between photons, offering a more energy-efficient alternative to laser-based quantum technologies for secure communication and computing applications.
The sun is covered in tiny whirlpools we’ve never seen before
Scientists have detected tiny plasma vortices on the Sun’s surface using advanced telescope observations and simulations, structures that may help explain how the star stores and releases magnetic energy.
This tiny gold crystal could bring quantum technology out of the deep freeze
LSU physicists have created the first room-temperature quantum material that can identify and transport quantum states of light, potentially enabling practical quantum technologies without expensive cryogenic cooling systems.
New fuel cell breakthrough could help power energy-hungry data centers
Researchers have developed an improved fuel cell catalyst using platinum-cobalt nanoparticles embedded in structured carbon, potentially enabling data centers to generate their own electricity and reduce grid strain.
Meteorite that smashed through a New Jersey roof reveals clues to life’s origins
A meteorite that struck a New Jersey home in July 2024 contains rare evidence of salty fluids from a primitive asteroid, revealing possible ingredients for life’s origins.
AI flags more than 250,000 suspicious cancer research papers
A machine learning system has flagged over 250,000 cancer research papers potentially linked to paper mills, companies that sell fraudulent or low-quality studies on an industrial scale.
Sun-like star caught after eating one of its own planets
Astronomers have detected unusually high lithium levels in TOI-5882, a sun-like star 1,300 light-years away, suggesting it may have consumed one of its own planets.
Earth has a natural thermostat and scientists finally know how it works
Scientists have identified how Earth’s natural climate control system works through a connection between sea level, ocean phosphate availability, and carbon burial in marine sediments over millions of years.
A bug commonly sold at pet stores is helping scientists with a vexing task
Researchers in Iran discovered that superworms, commonly sold as pet food, can effectively clean animal skeletons for museum specimens, offering advantages over existing methods like chemical treatment and dermestid beetles.
Vikram-1: India’s first private space rocket by Skyroot to carry diamond flower
India’s Skyroot Aerospace achieved its first orbital rocket launch on Saturday, becoming the first private Indian company to reach orbit and positioning the nation as only the third country with private orbital launch capability.
UK’s furry bumblebees ‘keeling over’ in heatwaves
UK bumblebees face population declines as heatwaves become more frequent, with fuzzy bodies adapted to cool climates making them vulnerable to overheating during extreme temperatures.
This ancient sea worm has “bio-metal” jaws unlike anything scientists have seen
Scientists studying ancient sea worms have identified a new category of biological material called “bio-metals” with properties unlike conventional metals, combining hardness and unique mechanical characteristics.
New “living plastic” self-destructs in just 6 days without leaving microplastics
Researchers have developed a self-destructing plastic containing dormant microbes that decomposes completely in six days without creating microplastics, offering a potential solution to plastic waste persistence.
Scientists built a camera that can track invisible particles in 3D
Scientists developed a camera using light field technology and advanced sensors to track invisible particles like neutrinos in 3D within unsegmented scintillator blocks, potentially simplifying particle detection systems.
Scientists found two powerful new ways to destroy forever chemicals
German researchers are developing two technologies to destroy persistent PFAS chemicals: hydrodynamic cavitation and cold atmospheric plasma combined with gas dispersion, both showing promise in degrading these “forever chemicals” in contaminated water.
An ordinary laptop solved a problem thought to require a quantum computer
Researchers used classical computers with advanced mathematical techniques to solve a complex quantum physics problem previously thought to require quantum hardware, with some calculations running on a personal laptop.
Earth’s waters are quietly running out of oxygen, scientists warn
Scientists warn that oxygen levels in oceans and freshwater systems are declining rapidly due to warming and pollution, potentially causing irreversible damage for centuries.
