New process turns plastic waste into hydrogen fuel while trapping the carbon
Researchers have developed a chemical process that converts mixed plastic waste directly into high-purity hydrogen fuel while capturing carbon in solid mineral form, addressing two major environmental challenges simultaneously.
How scientists finally confirmed rare pink seaweed as new species
Scientists have confirmed a rare pink-striped seaweed discovered in UK maerl beds over 40 years ago as a new species, with the finding contributing to understanding of these threatened marine habitats.
Scientists found two mysterious ‘ghost’ ancestors hiding in our DNA
Researchers at UC Berkeley identified two previously unknown human ancestors whose DNA persists in modern humans today, revealing more complex interbreeding patterns than previously understood in human evolution.
Superheated magma may power towering lava fountains
Scientists studying magma from a 2021 Spanish volcanic eruption found that superheating delays crystal formation, which could explain why similar volcanoes erupt differently.
Ant brains reveal how evolution turned hunger into parenting
A study of clonal raider ants reveals that evolution may have adapted ancient neural pathways regulating hunger to produce parental behavior, rather than creating entirely new brain systems for caregiving.
Tiny black holes may be secretly exploding stars across the Milky Way
Researchers propose that primordial black holes may trigger white dwarf explosions as Type Ia supernovae, potentially explaining certain chemical patterns observed in Milky Way stars.
NASA’s Curiosity rover finds a mysterious honeycomb landscape on Mars
NASA’s Curiosity rover has discovered an extensive honeycomb-like landscape of polygonal fractures covering terrain in Mars’ Valle Grande valley, marking the largest such formation the rover has encountered during its 14-year mission.
Cancer-fighting chewing gum cuts HPV levels by up to 93%
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania developed a bioengineered chewing gum that reduced HPV levels by 93% in patient samples, potentially offering a new approach to head and neck cancer treatment.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
