Is the universe infinite? The answer gets weird fast
Scientists studying the cosmic microwave background find the universe appears geometrically flat, but this doesn’t definitively answer whether it’s infinite or finite, as space could loop back on itself in ways we cannot yet detect.
James Webb reveals why planet formation is a race against time
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals how gas escapes from planet-forming disks around young stars, showing that different wind mechanisms dominate at different developmental stages.
Scientists were wrong about this strange mammal for nearly 40 years
A nearly complete fossil discovered in Mongolia’s Gobi Desert overturns nearly 40 years of scientific understanding about an extinct mammal group called zhelestids, suggesting they were not closely related to modern placental mammals.
Gene-edited bananas that don’t go brown could hit UK supermarkets
Gene-edited bananas that resist browning have received marketing approval in the UK, potentially reducing food waste by over 25% in the banana supply chain.
Saurichthys fish fossil found in Wales resolves teeth confusion
An amateur fossil hunter’s discovery of a 200-million-year-old fish jawbone in Wales has resolved confusion about misidentified fossils across European museums, researchers say.
Baby girls’ greater interest in faces offers clue to nature v nurture debate
A study of newborns found that baby girls spent more time watching faces than boys did, suggesting some behavioral differences may exist from birth rather than develop through social conditioning.
Scientists say a critical Atlantic Ocean current is weakening and the effects could be global
Scientists report that a critical Atlantic Ocean circulation system has weakened significantly over nearly two decades, with potential global consequences for weather, rainfall, storms, and sea levels.
First stellar stream beyond the Milky Way could reveal dark matter
Astronomers have detected the first globular cluster stellar stream outside the Milky Way, opening new possibilities for studying dark matter distribution in distant galaxies using advanced observational techniques.
Blood tests find high levels of cancer-causing forever chemical in residents near factory
Blood tests reveal elevated levels of PFOA, a cancer-causing forever chemical, in dozens of residents near a UK chemical factory, raising concerns about health risks.
Black holes of every size follow the same surprising rule
Astronomers have discovered that black holes of all sizes launch jets at the same critical stage of their feeding cycle, suggesting a universal rule governs this dramatic behavior regardless of mass.
Rare snails lay eggs on drive from Wales to Wingham Wildlife Park
Rare glutinous snails, found only in one UK lake, began laying eggs during transport to a wildlife park as part of a national conservation breeding program.
Elephants treat themselves with medicinal plants, witnesses say
African elephants in Kenya’s Mount Elgon region use dozens of medicinal plants to treat themselves and their families when sick, according to a study based on interviews with local observers.
Ancient meteorites reveal a powerful force that helped build the Solar System
New research from MIT analyzing ancient meteorites reveals that magnetism may have played a significant role alongside gravity in shaping the early solar system formation billions of years ago.
“We found something never seen before” – A dead star is producing a shock wave that shouldn’t exist
Astronomers discovered an unexpected shock wave around a dead star called RXJ0528+2838 using the Very Large Telescope, challenging current understanding of how stellar remnants interact with surrounding material.
Scientists gave worms magnetic bacteria. They lived 43% longer
Scientists found that magnetotactic bacteria extended the lifespan of worms by over 43% by suppressing a form of cell death called ferroptosis, suggesting a new microbial approach to anti-aging treatment.
Endangered dormice on Babers Farm signal healthy landscape
Endangered hazel dormice have been detected on Babers Farm in Dorset, signaling successful biodiversity improvements through the Countryside Regeneration Trust’s nature-focused farming initiative.
‘Immature playground boasting’: Mathematicians uneasy at OpenAI’s latest scalp
OpenAI’s AI model solved a Millennium Prize Problem worth $1 million, sparking concerns among mathematicians about the future of their field and the pace of artificial intelligence advancement.
Scientists create mice with part-human brains
Researchers created mice with half-human brains by transplanting lab-grown human brain cells into genetically engineered rodents, aiming to understand neurological disorders and develop new treatments.
Baby girls’ greater interest in faces offers clue to nature v nurture debate
Newborn girls showed greater interest in watching faces compared to toys than boys did, suggesting some sex-based differences in attention may be present at birth rather than learned through experience.
Stanford scientists discover the human brain may actually be two separate organs
Stanford researchers discovered the human brain develops from two distinct progenitor cell populations rather than one, challenging decades of neuroscience assumptions and potentially enabling new treatments for neurological diseases.
MIT’s tiny flying robot gets 450% faster with AI
MIT researchers developed an AI-based controller for insect-sized flying robots, increasing speed by 450% and enabling complex aerial maneuvers like repeated somersaults.

Better Removing Rust from Your Home
Rust is common in households especially from iron oxides. It mainly occurs when a metal is exposed to air moisture or water and is oxygenated to form the oxides. It affects metal items and metallic surfaces in the home, and is a corrosion of iron spoiling and ruining...
The Core DNA of the Cosmic Order
& Summa Meytaphysica’s Quest for Potential? Theory Metaphysicist David Birnbaum (see BirnbaumBio.com) of Manhattan sought after the cosmic genesis point. To that end he crafted the now-iconic 3-part Summa Metaphysica philosophy treatise (1988, 2005, 2014). [See...
