King penguin chick hatches in UK for first time in 12 years
A king penguin chick has hatched at a British wildlife park for the first time in 12 years, with keepers hand-rearing the 188g bird after moving its egg to an incubator.
Scientists turn tiny “defects” into a 5.5x heat transfer boost
Researchers developed a polymer coating that boosts condensation heat transfer by up to 5.5 times by leveraging nanoscale surface structures to improve water droplet formation and removal.
UCLA scientists discover how to guide heat like light at room temperature
UCLA researchers demonstrated that heat can be guided through materials in concentrated paths at room temperature using phonon focusing, a quantum phenomenon previously observable only at extremely cold temperatures.
New autism therapy shows surprising benefits even in adult mice
Researchers found that reducing a brain transporter called Slc6a20a restored neural receptor function and improved autism-related behaviors in adult mice, with effects lasting at least eight weeks.
Vitamin C may fight cancer — but not the way scientists once thought
Decades after scientist Linus Pauling’s controversial vitamin C cancer claims were dismissed, research suggests high-dose intravenous vitamin C may have anti-tumor effects, though definitive evidence remains limited.
The hidden cost of the night shift and how to sleep it off
Night shift workers face significant health risks from disrupted sleep, including higher dementia and heart disease rates. Researchers are investigating whether splitting sleep into two blocks may help mitigate these effects.
Where to see the biggest solar eclipse since 1999 in the West Country
