The Solar System chose fire over ice from the very beginning
New research shows that the earliest planetary bodies in the Solar System preferentially incorporated heat-formed chondrules over cold, icy dust during the first million years of formation, revealing a highly selective assembly process.
The LHC just ruled out another hiding place for quantum black holes
UC Santa Barbara researchers found no evidence of quantum black holes at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, but the null result helps rule out new physics possibilities and advances understanding of fundamental forces.
How opencast mining risks reawakening dormant geological faults
Opencast mining in western Germany triggered subsidence affecting areas up to 12 miles away and reactivated dormant geological faults, according to new research.
Glimpses into lives of Roman suburbanites in Bath revealed in rare finds
Roman artifacts including pottery, coins, and a military helmet fragment have been discovered beneath Bath Assembly Rooms, revealing new details about the city’s suburban Roman population.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier version of Stonehenge about 3 miles away, featuring two wooden posts aligned with solar solstices and dating back roughly 5,000 years.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
Scientists have confirmed that a fossil stored in a drawer for 40 years is Antarctica’s first ever discovered dinosaur bone, a tail vertebra from a Titanosaur dating back 82 million years.
The clues that hint our planet might be heating faster than we realised
Scientists debate whether declining air pollution from clean-air policies is accelerating global warming by removing a cooling effect that previously masked greenhouse gas warming.
Textbooks may have misdrawn this basic brain structure for 100 years
Researchers found that brain axons may have a pearled structure previously overlooked in textbooks for about a century, with implications for how neural signals travel through the brain.
The end of humanity? What would happen if the Yellowstone supervolcano erupted now
Scientists monitor unusual seismic activity at Yellowstone supervolcano, triggering emergency protocols as earthquake swarms migrate upward and ground deformation accelerates, raising eruption probability significantly.
CERN finds gluons behaving strangely deep inside atomic nuclei
A CERN experiment has revealed unusual gluon behavior inside atomic nuclei, providing evidence that could help explain fundamental physics at extremely small scales.
Physicists discover a hidden “curveball” in quantum light
Physicists at the Paul Scherrer Institute have experimentally demonstrated an optical Magnus effect in quantum light, where laser interactions with ions shift slightly sideways, with implications for quantum computing precision.
Scientists are building a microscope powered by a quantum computer
Austrian researchers are constructing a quantum computer-powered electron microscope designed to extract more information from individual electrons, potentially enabling clearer biological imaging with reduced sample damage.
Physicists can’t agree on how the Universe works
A comprehensive survey of physicists reveals limited agreement on fundamental questions about black holes, dark matter, and quantum gravity, with most standard answers failing to secure majority support.
UK mathematician debunks myth around Parthenon’s optical illusions
A UK mathematician challenges a 2,000-year-old claim that the Parthenon’s curved features correct optical illusions, finding little evidence the illusions actually exist.
Elstead reserve in Surrey sees 30 endangered water voles released
Surrey Wildlife Trust has released 30 endangered water voles at a nature reserve near Elstead, continuing efforts to restore the species to the River Wey after decades of local extinction.
NASA’s New Horizons spots signs of liquid nitrogen flowing on Pluto
NASA’s New Horizons has detected signs of liquid nitrogen flowing on Pluto’s surface near a massive glacier, marking the first evidence of recent liquid activity on the dwarf planet.
Rare tree offspring given lifeline at Logan Botanic Gardens
Two seedlings from the world’s rarest tree species have been relocated to a Scottish botanic garden as part of an international conservation effort to prevent extinction.
‘Very messy eaters’: scientists solve the mystery of when black holes ‘burp’
Scientists have determined that black holes release powerful jets at two specific stages during their feeding cycles, solving a decades-long mystery about the timing of these cosmic emissions.
From blast off to splashdown: My days following Nasa’s historic mission to the Moon
Four astronauts completed NASA’s Artemis II mission, traveling further into space than humans previously ventured before returning to Earth after ten days.
Scientists find water was fueling volcanoes 3 billion years ago
Geologists analyzing ancient volcanic rocks from Western Australia found evidence that water was influencing Earth’s interior and driving volcanic activity over three billion years ago.
Venus’s pale yellow clouds may hide something surprisingly dark
Scientists have narrowed the properties of Venus’s mysterious ultraviolet-absorbing substance in its clouds, requiring either extremely strong light absorption or high concentrations of material.
