Scientists may have finally caught “empty” space changing light
Scientists may have detected vacuum birefringence, a quantum effect predicted nearly 90 years ago, by observing a magnetar’s extreme magnetic field using radio and X-ray telescopes.
324-million-year-old fossil reveals how insects conquered land
A 324-million-year-old fossil reveals that early insects were semi-aquatic before fully colonizing land, retaining features from their aquatic ancestors during their transition.
Scientists switch on a strange new form of magnetism in an ultrathin material
Scientists have detected evidence of altermagnetism in ultrathin ruthenium dioxide films, a discovery that could advance development of smaller, faster computer memory and storage technologies.
A mysterious cosmic hum may come from 13-billion-year-old dark stars
Researchers propose that gravitational waves detected through pulsar networks may originate from supermassive black holes seeded by dark stars over 13 billion years ago, offering new insights into the early Universe’s formation.
Your dislike of eating bugs may be 9,000 years old
Researchers analyzing ancient DNA found that reluctance to eating insects in Western societies may trace back roughly 9,000 years, linked to genetic and ecological factors rather than recent cultural preferences alone.
“I jumped from my chair” – Astronomers spot Betelgeuse’s hidden companion
Astronomers have captured the clearest image yet of a stellar companion orbiting Betelgeuse, a famous red supergiant star visible to the naked eye, resolving a century-long scientific quest.
Astronomers detect fastest known star in Milky Way
Astronomers have identified S301, the fastest known star in the Milky Way, traveling at 25,000 km per second in an extremely tight orbit around the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.
Queen bees have a disturbing way to survive pesticides
Research reveals queen honeybees transfer accumulated pesticides into their eggs to protect themselves, a process called maternal offloading that could have serious implications for colony health.
Physicists create a tiny “Big Bang” with surprisingly small atomic nuclei
Physicists at the University of Copenhagen recreated the primordial state of matter from the early Universe using collisions between small atomic nuclei, revealing insights into both cosmic history and nuclear physics.
Cassini reveals a surprising twist in Saturn’s magnetic shield
Scientists analyzing Cassini mission data discovered that Saturn’s magnetospheric cusp is displaced toward afternoon and evening due to the planet’s rapid rotation, revealing how giant planets’ magnetic shields differ fundamentally from Earth’s.
Voyager 2 was running out of power. NASA just bought it more time
NASA engineers implemented power-saving measures aboard Voyager 2 to extend the aging spacecraft’s operational lifespan by freeing up approximately 4 watts of available power annually.
240-million-year-old reptile fossil reveals a lost chapter before dinosaurs and crocodiles
Researchers in Brazil identified a 240-million-year-old reptile fossil that fills a gap in understanding the evolution of archosaurs, the ancestors of dinosaurs and crocodiles.
Scientists discover a hidden switch inside silver nanocatalysts
Researchers discovered that silver nanocatalysts in solid oxide cells switch their reaction sites depending on whether the device generates electricity or hydrogen, offering new design strategies for clean energy technology.
From blast off to splashdown: My days following Nasa’s historic mission to the Moon
Four astronauts completed NASA’s Artemis II mission, traveling further into space than humans previously, voyaging to the Moon and returning safely after 10 days.
Starwatch: Mercury to reach farthest point from the sun
Mercury reaches its greatest western elongation this week, offering one of the year’s best opportunities to observe the innermost planet in the morning sky before dawn.
Cell-inspired nanoreactor turns sunlight into hydrogen peroxide
Researchers developed a cell-inspired nanoreactor that converts sunlight into hydrogen peroxide using biomimetic features resembling living cell structures and functions.
A star’s violent death exposed a hidden supermassive black hole
University of Maryland astronomers discovered a dormant supermassive black hole far from its galaxy’s center after it destroyed a passing star, marking the first detection of such an inactive black hole at such a distance.
Sticky or slippery? Snails can change their slime to meet the moment
Researchers find that snails can modulate the composition of their slime to produce five distinct types with different properties, each serving specific functions from locomotion to defense.
Scientists rediscover lost Megalodon fossils—and reveal a 79-foot giant
Scientists rediscovered long-lost vertebrae from Otodus megalodon, a prehistoric shark that grew to at least 79 feet long, in a Danish museum decades after they were thought destroyed.
Scientists find unexpected life on Ötzi the Iceman’s 5,300-year-old body
Researchers identified ancient gut bacteria and cold-adapted yeasts on Ötzi the Iceman’s 5,300-year-old mummified remains, with some microorganisms potentially useful for industrial applications.
