Scientists opened a sealed envelope after 10 years. Gravity still didn’t make sense
After a decade of experiments, physicists opened a sealed envelope containing the gravitational constant measurement, only to find their result disagreed with previous measurements, deepening a longstanding puzzle in fundamental physics.
New nanoparticles make hidden chemical differences light up
University of Toronto engineers developed nanoparticles that detect chemicals at extremely low concentrations and distinguish nearly identical molecules, producing bright optical signals useful for pharmaceutical and environmental applications.
Scientists may have solved a 2,000-year-old Dead Sea Scrolls mystery
A Tel Aviv University study proposes that the Qumran sect actively used its unusual 364-day calendar during its early history before abandoning it due to astronomical drift and political changes.
Scientists discover a hidden “ID card” in cat urine
Researchers identify 13 branched-chain fatty acids in cat urine that form unique profiles for individual cats, potentially serving as lasting chemical identifiers in feline communication.
A giant crater may reveal the origin of Mars’ doomed moon
Scientists are studying Mars’ moon Phobos and its giant Stickney Crater to determine whether the moon formed from debris after a massive impact on Mars or was captured as an asteroid.
New chemical wipes out 95% of termites without harming humans
Researchers at UC Riverside found that bistrifluron, a chemical that disrupts insect exoskeleton formation, kills western drywood termites with 95-99% efficiency in laboratory tests without harming humans.
Hurricane Hunters reveal 4 warning signs that a storm is about to strengthen
Researchers identified four features that help tilted tropical cyclones align vertically and intensify, potentially allowing forecasters to provide communities with earlier warning time.
This new concrete is stronger and pulls CO2 from the air
Engineers have developed a new concrete that is stronger than conventional concrete while also capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, according to research published in Carbon Research.
One of America’s largest reservoirs just hit a record low
Lake Powell, the second-largest U.S. reservoir, hit record-low levels in late August and early September due to reduced snowpack and warm conditions across the Colorado Basin in 2026.
Nepal to use new flood study to claim millions from UN climate disaster fund
Nepal plans to claim approximately $20 million from a UN climate disaster fund using a new study linking the deadly floods last month to climate change as evidence.
Textbooks may have misdrawn this basic brain structure for 100 years
Researchers discovered that axons, the brain’s signal-carrying extensions, may have a pearl-like structure overlooked in textbooks for a century, with implications for understanding neural communication.
JWST’s mysterious little red dots may be black holes growing at incredible speeds
New simulations suggest that mysterious Little Red Dots detected by the James Webb Space Telescope may be rapidly growing black holes that exploited unique conditions in the early Universe.
Astronomers just found the youngest known planet ever
Astronomers have confirmed the youngest known planet ever discovered, less than 1 million years old and still surrounded by the gas and dust from which it formed, offering rare insights into planet formation.
A $100 detector can see invisible particles raining down from space
A $100 device called CosmicWatch detects muons, subatomic particles from cosmic rays that constantly pass through Earth, enabling both educational use and professional astrophysics research.
Scientists discover a mysterious new frog hiding in the Amazon
Scientists have identified a previously unknown frog species in the western Amazon, named Adenomera varcena. The discovery highlights hidden biodiversity in Amazonian floodplain forests and underscores the need for rapid species documentation.
Artemis II: The 40 minutes when the astronauts lose contact with Earth
Artemis II astronauts will experience approximately 40 minutes of radio silence as their spacecraft passes behind the Moon, temporarily losing contact with Earth and mission control.
How meteorologists recreated weather that helped decide second world war
A new film depicts meteorologist James Stagg’s critical weather forecast for D-day landings, showcasing how Allied forecasters used limited data to guide one of World War II’s most pivotal military operations.
OpenAI claims to have solved maths problem that stumped humans for decades
OpenAI claims to have solved the Navier-Stokes problem, a century-old mathematics puzzle, using advanced AI systems. The announcement became controversial after a mathematician alleged the company accelerated its work upon hearing of a competing breakthrough.
Indonesian foragers may have sucked on mind-altering nuts 25,000 years ago, research finds
Researchers found evidence that Indonesian foragers may have sucked on psychoactive betel nuts as long as 25,000 years ago, marking potentially the earliest known human drug use.
Tiny nanolaser could cut computer energy use in half
Researchers at DTU have developed a nanolaser that could reduce computer energy consumption by roughly half by enabling microchips to communicate using light instead of electrical signals.
Tiny sound waves could help solve a major quantum computing problem
Harvard researchers demonstrated using microscopic sound waves to protect quantum information, potentially enabling more compact quantum networks and hybrid quantum systems built on chips.
