Australia’s red soil may be hiding a massive clean energy source
Researchers at an Australian university discovered that iron-rich magnetite deposits in Western Australia may naturally generate hydrogen underground, potentially supporting a future clean energy industry.
The universe is still speeding up, but nobody knows why
An international team of astrophysicists rejected claims that cosmic expansion is slowing, affirming that dark energy continues driving accelerating expansion of the universe.
Scientists turn one of the hardest plastics to recycle into high-performance engine lubricant
Virginia Tech researchers developed a method to convert polyvinyl chloride, one of the hardest plastics to recycle, into polyalphaolefin for use in engine lubricants and other industrial applications.
One of Earth’s driest places was just covered in snow
Winter storms swept northern Chile in August 2026, bringing unusual snow to the Atacama Desert and affecting major astronomical observatories and coastal communities.
A massive plume deep beneath Africa is pulling the continent apart
Computer models reveal the African Superplume, a vast upwelling of hot mantle material deep within Earth, is causing unusual deformation patterns beneath the East African Rift System.
Scientists discover why snake embryos twist into spirals
An international research team has discovered that snake embryos coil into spirals because their rapidly lengthening bodies are mechanically constrained by a slower-growing gut structure.
How a small island in Canada appeared, vanished, and was found again
A forested island in British Columbia’s Williston Reservoir was spotted by boaters in early August, then disappeared from satellite imagery before officials located it again drifted toward shore.
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is ready to hunt thousands of alien worlds
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has been enclosed in its Falcon Heavy rocket fairing at Kennedy Space Center, with launch targeted for late August. The observatory will search for thousands of exoplanets and investigate dark matter and dark energy.
NASA just used satellites and debris to navigate without GPS
NASA’s Starling mission has demonstrated FALCON, a navigation system that allows satellites to determine their orbital position using other space objects as reference points instead of relying on GPS signals.
Einstein’s biggest “mistake” came back — and changed cosmology forever
Einstein’s cosmological constant, once dismissed as his greatest mistake, has become central to modern cosmology after observations revealed the universe’s expansion is accelerating, not slowing.
Scientists may have finally proved that “empty” space isn’t really empty
Astronomers may have detected vacuum birefringence, a quantum phenomenon predicted nearly 90 years ago, by observing an extremely magnetic neutron star using specialized space telescopes.
After record heat, could the Atlantic make Britain’s weather even more extreme?
Scientists are monitoring the Atlantic’s ocean currents using robotic floats and satellite data to understand whether a major system influencing global climate could weaken or shift as the planet warms.
‘Real mummy’s curse’: health warning over growing trade in mummified human remains
Academics warn that a growing global trade in mummified human remains poses serious health risks from dormant microorganisms and toxic preservation materials, with items often transported through postal services without proper safety protocols.
Paleontology rocked by organic molecules found in 66-million-year-old dinosaur bones
Researchers detected remnants of collagen protein in a 66-million-year-old dinosaur hip bone, providing strong evidence that organic molecules can survive fossilization for tens of millions of years.
World’s first superconducting quantum heat engine could help unlock massive quantum computers
Researchers at Aalto University have demonstrated the world’s first superconducting quantum heat engine, which could advance quantum computing technology by improving how heat is managed in quantum systems.
Scientists detect a nuclear reactor’s ghostly afterglow for the first time
Scientists have detected antineutrino emissions from a shut-down nuclear reactor for the first time, opening new possibilities for monitoring reactor status and spent-fuel inventories independent of other methods.
Scientists hope to shed light on young universe by using far side of the moon
Scientists plan to deploy a compact satellite called CosmoCube to orbit the far side of the moon to detect radio signals from the early universe, potentially revealing details about cosmic origins.
Science or fiction? Shadowy ‘paper mills’ let you pay to be a published author – of fraudulent research
Shadowy “paper mills” offer fraudulent academic authorship and intellectual property registrations for fees, with researchers tracking over 18,000 advertisements from these organisations across multiple countries.
Scientists turn DNA into a memory device that uses 100x less power
Penn State researchers developed a bio-hybrid memory device combining synthetic DNA and perovskite that operates with 100 times less power than traditional storage systems while maintaining high storage capacity.
Heat and farming changes stop Jersey sea lettuce growth
Jersey experienced minimal sea lettuce growth this summer due to record-breaking heat and reduced agricultural nitrate runoff, marking a significant shift in the annual phenomenon.
Caltech breakthrough brings fiber-optic performance to silicon chips
Caltech researchers have developed a method to create optical circuits on silicon wafers using germano-silicate glass, achieving fiber-like performance with exceptionally low signal loss at visible wavelengths.
