Scientists have mapped all nerve connections in male and female fruit fly brains, identifying wiring differences that drive distinct behaviors like aggression, courtship, and song production.

A study on socioeconomic behavior received an Ig Nobel Prize in Economics after finding that wealthy individuals were more likely to take candy meant for children in controlled experiments.

Astronomers have identified S301, the fastest known star in the Milky Way, orbiting the central supermassive black hole at approximately 25,000 kilometers per second on an exceptionally tight trajectory.

International researchers identified seven previously unknown frog species in Madagascar, revealing greater diversity among diamond frogs than previously understood and advancing conservation efforts.

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched Aug. 30 aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center, beginning a million-mile journey to study dark energy, dark matter, and exoplanets.

Scientists have discovered a massive heat anomaly deep inside Mars, with the southern hemisphere’s interior significantly warmer than the north, offering new insights into the planet’s geologic history and potential past habitability.

Researchers identified over 360 previously undetected glacial earthquakes in Antarctica between 2010 and 2023, primarily near the Thwaites Glacier, which could inform predictions of future sea-level rise.

IBM and University of Chicago researchers demonstrated quantum advantage by solving a classically intractable problem in 15 minutes using 70 logical qubits and new error correction techniques.

Researchers have derived the first exact mathematical formula describing how microscopic black holes could form when spacetime enters a critical state and organizes into a crystal-like pattern.

Fossil footprints from northern Kenya dating 1.4 million years ago reveal eight members of an extinct human relative species were larger than previously estimated from skeletal remains.

Star formation has declined sharply over the past 4.5 billion years, but neutral hydrogen supplies have remained relatively stable, according to observations from FAST and DESI.

Britain faces potential cuts to particle physics research involving the Large Hadron Collider and major astronomy projects, raising concerns about the country’s scientific competitiveness and future research capabilities.
