Scientists have identified when black holes emit powerful jets after consuming stars, discovering that supermassive black holes release material in two distinct phases of their feeding cycle.

Scientists have identified the genetic basis for the MAL blood group system, solving a 50-year mystery about the AnWj antigen found on human red blood cells, potentially aiding transfusion compatibility for rare patients.

Physicists at Oxford University and CERN have demonstrated quantum entanglement persisting in heavy, short-lived Z bosons created in extreme particle collisions, published in Physical Review Letters.

Researchers developed a method to estimate body temperature from fossilized teeth, finding that T. rex maintained approximately 97 degrees Fahrenheit, comparable to modern humans and supporting theories of warm-blooded metabolism.

After a decade of experiments, physicists opened a sealed envelope containing data about gravity’s fundamental strength, only to find their measurement disagreed with previous results.

Engineers at the University of Toronto developed dye-sensitized nanoparticles that detect chemicals at extremely low concentrations and distinguish between nearly identical molecules by producing bright optical signals.

Researchers propose that the Qumran sect used a 364-day calendar during its early history but abandoned it due to astronomical problems and changing political relations with Jerusalem authorities.

Researchers identified branched-chain fatty acids in cat urine that form unique individual profiles, potentially serving as a durable chemical signature for cat identification.

UK red squirrel populations have collapsed from 3.5 million to under 300,000, largely due to competition from grey squirrels introduced in the 19th century. Conservation efforts now focus on controlling grey populations through lethal means and testing new fertility control methods.

Paleontologists have identified the first Diplodocus fossil ever found outside North America, discovered in Spain and providing evidence of dinosaur movement between continents during the Late Jurassic period.

Hummingbird hawk moths, ivy bees, and wasp spiders are appearing in growing numbers across the West Midlands as temperatures rise, with 2026 marking a record year for sightings.

Northwestern physicists found that variation in complex systems like power grids and ecosystems can enhance stability more than uniformity, challenging the conventional assumption that identical components ensure optimal reliability.
