“Cannot be explained” – New super steel stuns scientists
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong developed a corrosion-resistant stainless steel that could reduce green hydrogen production costs by replacing expensive titanium components in electrolyzers.
Scientists find evidence for two origins of life on Earth
An international research team found evidence that life on Earth may have originated independently twice, with bacteria and archaea emerging separately about 4 billion years ago from hydrothermal vents.
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.

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

150-million-year-old dinosaur footprints reveal something strange about its walk
A 95.5-meter looping trail of 150-million-year-old sauropod footprints in Colorado suggests the giant dinosaur may have walked with a limp based on variations in stride length and width.
Black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter
Researchers propose that black holes created before the Big Bang may have survived to the present day and could explain dark matter, challenging conventional cosmology through bounce universe models.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
British physics faces potential major funding cuts to particle physics and astronomy research, threatening the country’s historic leadership in blue-sky discovery science that has driven innovation for generations.
