Researchers at Germany’s Karlsruhe Institute of Technology achieved a record 303-second operating time for a hydrogen turbine using pressure-gain combustion, surpassing NASA’s previous benchmark.

Scientists identified the earliest known structures that became spider fangs in a 518-million-year-old fossil from the early Cambrian Period, providing new insights into chelicerate evolution.

Scientists have discovered previously unseen plasma vortices on the Sun’s surface using the world’s largest solar telescope, revealing tiny structures that may explain how the star stores and releases magnetic energy.

LSU physicists have created the first room-temperature quantum material that can identify and transport quantum states of light, potentially enabling practical quantum computers and communication systems without requiring extreme cooling.

Researchers at Washington University developed a new catalyst design using platinum-cobalt nanoparticles that could make fuel cells more efficient for powering data centers and reducing strain on the electrical grid.

A meteorite that struck a New Jersey home in July 2024 has yielded rare insights into the chemical conditions on primitive asteroids that may have contributed to life’s origins.

Britain faces proposed cuts to particle physics and astronomy funding that could force scientists to reduce involvement in major international research projects, raising concerns about the nation’s scientific leadership.

Stanford researchers identified immune cells in flatworms that destroy nearby cells by exploding within minutes, a process called ruptosis that could have implications for treating infections and tumors.

Japanese researchers identified orexin neurons as key to maintaining motivation, finding these brain cells regulate effort and persistence toward goals through reward expectation mechanisms.
