NASA’s Hubble and Webb discover ancient worlds that remember their past
NASA’s Hubble and James Webb telescopes discovered 27 previously unknown trans-Neptunian objects, revealing that distant icy bodies have preserved evidence of their ancient origins for billions of years despite dramatic orbital histories.
Scientists just found a loophole that could let black holes split in two
A new theoretical study suggests black holes could potentially split into two under extreme conditions, though the physics normally prevents such fragmentation through thermodynamic restrictions.
Large Hadron Collider reveals evidence of Big Bang matter in surprisingly small collisions
Multiple research teams at the Large Hadron Collider detected evidence of quark-gluon plasma—primordial matter from the Big Bang—emerging from collisions of relatively small atomic nuclei like oxygen and neon, challenging prior assumptions about the forces required.
Greenpeace drops boulders in North Sea fishing grounds off Norfolk
Greenpeace dropped nine boulders off the Norfolk coast to obstruct bottom trawling in a marine protected area, citing slow government progress on environmental protections.
PFAS: Major study into ‘forever chemicals’ in UK population
The UK government is launching its first study into PFAS or ‘forever chemicals’ in the population by collecting blood and urine samples through the Health Security Agency.
New human data hints at psychedelics’ potential to combat inflammation
Researchers publishing findings in JAMA Psychiatry report that psilocybin may reduce inflammation and mitochondrial stress in patients with Parkinson’s disease, offering early evidence of psychedelics’ potential therapeutic applications beyond mental health.
Do people become less creative as they get older? Research makes surprising discovery
A study finds adults outperform preschoolers on creative tasks but feel less confident and more anxious doing them, suggesting creativity doesn’t fade with age but confidence does.
AI makes Britain’s largest woodland bat survey possible, scientists say
Britain’s largest bat woodland survey analyzed 98 million calls across 310 locations using AI technology, identifying rare species including the red-listed Barbastelle in southwestern England.
Cryosphere faces permanent damage when world overshoots 1.5C, scientists warn
A UN report warns that Earth’s icy regions face permanent damage if global temperatures overshoot 1.5C, with scientists urging rapid emissions cuts and atmospheric carbon removal to minimize harm.
Do spiders dream? Scientists just found a surprising clue
Scientists at the University of Bonn discovered that Australian jumping spiders experience distinct sleep stages including a REM-like state, suggesting sleep may be more widespread across animal species than previously understood.
Smithsonian scientists just recreated the first 2 billion years of the Universe
Scientists at the Smithsonian and Harvard have created Lumina, a massive simulation reconstructing the universe’s first 2 billion years after the Big Bang to help interpret observations from advanced telescopes.
James Webb discovers a scorching lava planet with a “giant sunscreen”
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered that a scorching lava planet called TOI-561 b may be protected by reflective clouds acting as a sunscreen, challenging expectations about atmospheres around heavily irradiated rocky planets.
128,000-year-old ice in Tibet could rewrite climate history
Scientists have discovered ice in Tibet dating back over 128,000 years, extending the known glacial record by more than 100,000 years and providing insights into ancient climate patterns.
Einstein’s equations may explain the universe without dark energy
Mathematicians challenge dark energy theory, arguing Einstein’s equations alone could explain cosmic acceleration through mathematical instabilities in standard cosmological models.
NASA discovers Jupiter’s invisible shield is more complex than Earth’s
NASA’s Juno spacecraft revealed that Jupiter’s protective magnetic shield uses more complex plasma waves than Earth’s, with additional shock structures that help deflect solar wind particles.
A 700,000-year-old elephant tooth reveals a lost world where early humans lived
A 700,000-year-old elephant tooth discovered in northern Israel has allowed scientists to reconstruct a lush prehistoric landscape with forests, rivers, and wetlands that supported early human populations.
Migrating seabirds face a surprising problem: jet lag
Manx shearwaters experience a form of jet lag when returning from Atlantic foraging trips, causing navigation errors that could divert inexperienced birds hundreds of miles off course.
How AI is transforming hurricane forecasts
Artificial intelligence models are increasingly being used by hurricane forecasters, with Google DeepMind’s system demonstrating superior performance in predicting storm paths compared to traditional physics-based forecasting methods.
How rising seas transformed dry land into Venice lagoon
Research reveals Venice’s lagoon was once dry land extending over 30 miles inland, reshaped by sea level rises over 10,000 years that forced ancient populations to adapt.
Earth’s ice ages may have been driven by a hidden ocean chain reaction
Scientists discover a previously unknown process linking Northern Hemisphere ice sheets to Southern Ocean changes that may have triggered past ice ages through a global chain reaction.
Scientists discover a hidden oxygen reservoir deep inside Earth
Scientists discovered that molten rock deep within Earth can store far more oxygen than previously thought, potentially linking Earth’s interior to atmospheric oxygenation billions of years ago.
