NASA finds Earth microbes could survive on the Moon
NASA research indicates certain Earth microbes could survive in shadowed regions near the Moon’s South Pole, raising concerns about biological contamination as human exploration increases.
Scientists find hidden “highways” guiding animal evolution
Scientists discovered that animal genome evolution follows constrained pathways rather than random routes, revealing patterns across more than 5,800 chromosome-scale genomes spanning thousands of species.
Atomic catalyst unlocks the hidden value of plant waste
Researchers developed a single-atom catalyst that efficiently breaks down lignin, a major plant waste component, into valuable aromatic chemicals under mild conditions.
Muff: Concerns over impact of quad bikes on natural wildlife
Concerns have been raised over quad bike riders causing environmental damage and disturbance to wildlife, including red squirrels, in a woodland area near Muff, County Donegal.
Scientists discover why damaged nerves struggle to heal
Researchers at Mount Sinai identified a protein that restricts nerve regeneration after injury. Blocking this protein in mouse models improved recovery from peripheral nerve and spinal cord damage.
Australia’s red soil may be hiding a massive clean energy source
Australian researchers found that magnetite deposits in Western Australia may naturally generate hydrogen gas underground, potentially creating a new clean energy source and export industry.
Scientists hope to shed light on young universe by using far side of the moon
Scientists plan to deploy a small satellite called CosmoCube in lunar orbit to detect radio signals from the early universe, potentially revealing conditions shortly after the big bang.
Scientists turn tiny “defects” into a 5.5x heat transfer boost
Researchers developed a polymer coating that increases condensation heat transfer by up to 5.5 times by optimizing droplet formation and removal on surfaces.
Artemis II crew to receive top US space medal for historic lunar journey
The Artemis II lunar flyby crew will receive the US’s top space medal on 28 August. The four astronauts broke Apollo 13’s distance record during their 10-day mission beginning 1 April.
60,000-year-old ostrich eggshell engravings reveal a surprisingly sophisticated human mind
Archaeologists discovered more than 60,000-year-old engraved ostrich eggshells in southern Africa featuring organized geometric patterns, suggesting sophisticated abstract thinking in early humans.
‘You’re hit with a slam of shadow’: Nasa’s air mission to capture rare eclipse data
NASA researchers will fly a specialized aircraft at 50,000 feet to chase a total solar eclipse and capture rare imagery of the sun’s corona and plasma phenomena.
The secret hidden in these ancient manuscripts isn’t written in ink
Scientists have developed a non-destructive method to recover genetic material from historic parchment manuscripts, enabling analysis of DNA that could reveal details about ancient trade, agriculture, and livestock evolution.
NASA’s moon base is taking shape with 20+ lunar landings planned
NASA is advancing its Moon Base project near the lunar South Pole through partnerships with commercial companies planning more than 20 robotic landings through 2029 to establish lasting infrastructure and support systems.
150-million-year-old dinosaur footprints reveal something strange about its walk
A 95.5-meter looping trail of 150-million-year-old sauropod footprints in Colorado suggests the giant dinosaur may have walked with a limp based on variations in stride length and width.
Black holes older than the Big Bang could explain dark matter
Researchers propose that black holes created before the Big Bang may have survived to the present day and could explain dark matter, challenging conventional cosmology through bounce universe models.
Higgs Boson was UK triumph, but British physics faces ‘catastrophic’ cuts
British physics faces potential major funding cuts to particle physics and astronomy research, threatening the country’s historic leadership in blue-sky discovery science that has driven innovation for generations.
Roman shipwreck with 500 amphorae found off coast of Sicily
A 2,100-year-old Roman shipwreck containing approximately 500 amphorae has been discovered off Sicily’s coast, marking one of the Mediterranean’s most significant underwater archaeological finds in recent years.
“Cannot be explained” – New super steel stuns scientists
Researchers at the University of Hong Kong developed a new stainless steel designed to resist corrosion in hydrogen production systems, potentially reducing equipment costs by up to 40 times compared to current titanium-based alternatives.
‘Real mummy’s curse’: health warning over growing trade in mummified human remains
Academics warn of health risks posed by a growing global trade in mummified human remains, citing dormant microorganisms and toxic preservation materials as serious concerns.
Scientists find evidence for two origins of life on Earth
An international research team found evidence that bacteria and archaea may have originated independently as separate forms of life, each developing distinct enzymes to replace metal catalysts from hydrothermal vents.
A strange crystal made of electrons just revealed its hidden motion
Researchers at the University of Basel and Technical University of Munich used light to reveal previously hidden collective motion of electrons in a Wigner crystal, a rare quantum state.
