Artemis II: The 40 minutes when the astronauts lose contact with Earth
Artemis II astronauts will lose radio contact with Earth for approximately 40 minutes as their spacecraft passes behind the Moon, a period of profound isolation during their historic lunar mission.
Scientists hope to shed light on young universe by using far side of the moon
Scientists plan to launch a satellite called CosmoCube to orbit the moon’s far side and detect radio signals from the early universe, helping reveal conditions shortly after the big bang.
This high-speed star is whipping around the black hole in the middle of our galaxy
Astronomers have identified the fastest star ever observed, S301, orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way at speeds exceeding 15,000 miles per second.
Scientists say the human family tree may need a major rewrite
Researchers propose expanding the genus Homo to include Australopithecus and Paranthropus species, suggesting traditional human evolutionary classification systems require major revision based on recent fossil discoveries.
“One-in-a-million” sea creature fossil preserves soft tissue for 450 million years
University of Oklahoma paleontologists have documented a crinoid fossil from more than 450 million years ago with preserved soft tissue — only the second specimen ever found with such preservation.
A lost mega-cliff may explain the Grand Canyon’s missing billion years
Scientists propose an enormous ancient cliff system formed nearly a billion years ago may have exposed the Grand Canyon’s deepest rocks long before the Colorado River carved the modern landscape.
Hidden magnetism inside atoms may explain mysterious gamma rays
Scientists may have solved a decades-old nuclear physics puzzle involving unexpected gamma ray emissions from certain atomic nuclei, with findings suggesting magnetic forces within nuclei are responsible.
Dirty air may trigger painful rheumatoid arthritis flares
A new study published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases finds that air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter, may trigger more active rheumatoid arthritis and increase painful flare-ups.
Teen cannabis use linked to slower memory and thinking growth
Researchers found that teenagers who use cannabis develop memory and thinking abilities more slowly than non-users, according to a new study of over 11,000 adolescents.
Sunlight creates quantum entanglement once thought to require lasers
Researchers demonstrated that sunlight can generate quantum entanglement between photons, potentially offering a more energy-efficient alternative to laser-based quantum technologies.
Restricted eating hours may reduce cognitive decline in older age, researchers find
A pilot study suggests restricting eating to a nine-hour window and avoiding food four hours before bed may help protect cognitive abilities in older women with overweight or obesity.
Artists, writers and scientists urge UK government to save Jodrell Bank Observatory
Over 100 artists, scientists and writers have urged the UK government to secure funding for Jodrell Bank Observatory after its radio telescope network faced a significant budget cut.
Children using social media at younger age appear to do worse in school tests
Children who open social media accounts at age 11-12 score lower on standardized tests than those who delay, with researchers attributing the gap partly to constant phone checking.
Forget the sperm race: Fertilization may depend on teamwork
New research suggests fertilization in some arthropod species depends on sperm cooperation rather than competition alone, with sperm organizing into coordinated groups to reach and fertilize eggs.
A drug already used for osteoporosis blocked spinal damage in a new study
A study using zebrafish found that altered gene activity causes mineral accumulation in the spine, resembling abnormal bone formation. An existing osteoporosis drug blocked this spinal damage in the research.
Nearly half of dementia cases may be linked to risks you can change
New research from Lund University suggests nearly half of dementia cases may be linked to modifiable risk factors like smoking, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.
Legal warning after increase in seahorse disturbance
UK authorities are warning the public about disturbing legally protected seahorses, citing increased incidents during warmer weather as more people enter the water to swim and dive.
E-scooters far more dangerous than motorbikes or cycles, analysis suggests
A new analysis finds e-scooter riders face three times greater risk of traumatic brain injuries than motorcyclists, with women experiencing disproportionately higher injury rates in a study of accidents across England and Wales.
Scientists tracked 12 people in Antarctica for 10 months—what happened could shape future Mars missions
Scientists tracked 12 crew members at a remote Antarctic station for ten months to understand how isolation and cramped conditions affect teamwork, with findings potentially applicable to future Moon and Mars missions.
