Amboseli elephant deaths: Kenya Wildlife Service suspects cyanide in tomato pesticide to be the cause
Fifteen elephants died outside Amboseli National Park in Kenya, with preliminary tests indicating cyanide poisoning from pesticide-sprayed tomatoes on nearby farms.
A strange quantum rule caps electrical resistance
Researchers studying ultracold atoms found that electrical resistance from particle collisions appears to reach a maximum limit rather than continuing to increase indefinitely.
This new alloy is up to 10 times stronger than steel and surprisingly flexible
Materials scientists at Purdue University have developed a cobalt-aluminum intermetallic alloy up to 10 times stronger than structural steel while maintaining significant flexibility, potentially enabling advanced turbine blades and aerospace components.
Strange gamma rays could reveal how stars forge heavy elements
An international research team has identified the source of puzzling low-energy gamma rays emitted by zinc-70 nuclei, finding that magnetic transitions within the nucleus produce the signal and advancing understanding of heavy element formation in space.
Black holes may spit out nearly as much matter as they swallow
Astronomers studying a black hole system found that it expels nearly as much matter as it consumes, suggesting black holes function as complex cosmic digestive systems rather than simple matter vacuums.
World-first photonic time crystal opens a new era of light control
An international research team has created the first all-optical photonic time crystal, a material that rapidly and repeatedly changes its optical behavior over time, potentially enabling ultrafast optical computers and advanced telecommunications.
Scientists left water inside a battery and nearly doubled its power
Scientists at the University of Surrey found that leaving water inside sodium-based battery material nearly doubled its energy storage capacity, potentially enabling batteries that also desalinate seawater.
Beavers helping to reduce drought with wetlands
Beavers are creating wetland areas that help reduce drought impacts by slowing water flow and providing wildlife refuge, according to University of Exeter research.
Milky Way flipped in collision with dwarf galaxy 10bn years ago, astronomers say
Astronomers found that the Milky Way was knocked on its side by a dwarf galaxy collision approximately 10 billion years ago, fundamentally reshaping the galaxy’s structure and orientation.
