Caltech researchers developed a chip that uses light to steer light in 74 femtoseconds, faster than conventional electronic systems, potentially enabling advanced photonic technologies.

Scientists have named a newly identified snake species from New Guinea after Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, recognizing his long-standing support for reptile research and natural history.

Scientists warn that wildfires across Wales this summer caused “catastrophic” hidden damage to soil ecosystems, with thousands of years of carbon lost in days.

A new study finds climate change likely weakened a glacier in Nepal that collapsed last month, triggering catastrophic floods that killed over 1,000 people across Nepal and Tibet.

Scientists have confirmed a new spotted wildcat species from Bolivia’s forests through DNA analysis, revealing that tiger cats are more diverse than previously understood.

Arctic sea ice moves differently than wind alone predicts, and researchers found that collisions between individual ice floes help explain the discrepancy, potentially improving forecasting models.

Indonesia’s Anak Krakatau volcano erupted explosively in early September, sending ash plumes nearly 10 miles high and disrupting approximately 3,000 flights across the region.

The Royal Observatory Greenwich has announced Ali Alobaidly as the winner of its Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition for his striking image of the Shark Nebula.
