New research reveals star formation has declined by more than half over the past 4.5 billion years, yet supplies of neutral hydrogen remain relatively stable, suggesting gas availability alone cannot explain the slowdown.

The LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector recorded a single unusual particle interaction that researchers cannot fully explain using known background signals, representing the most compelling potential dark matter signal the experiment has reported.

Research from Queen Mary University of London suggests caffeine activates an ancient cellular energy system linked to growth, stress resistance, and DNA repair—processes closely tied to aging.

Astronomers detected a faint hydrogen radio signal from billions of light-years away using South Africa’s MeerKAT telescope, demonstrating a promising new method for efficiently mapping the Universe’s structure.

A new analysis challenges the prevailing theory that dark energy causes cosmic acceleration, arguing the evidence may be weaker than assumed, though other researchers dispute this conclusion.

Kew Gardens will fell rare trees to renovate its deteriorating Victorian Palm House, though the effort aims to propagate endangered species and restore wild populations worldwide.

NASA’s $4.3 billion Nancy Grace Roman space telescope launched from Florida on Sunday after surviving two rounds of proposed White House budget cuts, beginning its journey to a million miles from Earth.

A study on wealthy individuals’ behavior won the economics Ig Nobel prize, finding that upper-class people are more likely to cut off other drivers, lie at work, and steal candy meant for children.

A new study analyzing magnetic properties of volcanic rocks in Colombia reveals that the collision between Central and South America occurred earlier than previously thought, before about 10 million years ago.

Chinese researchers discovered that a hidden atomic structure forms on nickel oxide catalysts during methane conversion, enabling high performance with minimal nickel content.

Researchers propose a new strategy to address gaps in tropical insect conservation, where more than 80% of insect species live but scientific knowledge remains limited to temperate regions.

Researchers determined that ancient builders transported 25-tonne stones 11 miles from Brimham Rocks to create Britain’s tallest stone row, the Devil’s Arrows, suggesting deliberate choices about monument construction.
