Scientists propose new source for rare subatomic particles
A paper based on joint research by Prof. Yuan Changzheng from Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. Marek Karliner from Tel Aviv University of Israel, was published in Physical Review Letters. It points out a.....»»
Evolution in real time: Scientists predict—and witness—evolution in a 30-year marine snail experiment
Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before scientists' eyes. The marine snails were reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom wiped them out from the skerry. While the researchers intentionally brought in a distinct population of the same snail species.....»»
Experts warn "crazy busy" Atlantic hurricane season is far from over
Millions of people in the southeastern U.S. still are reeling from the catastrophic damage caused by Hurricanes Helene and Milton, but scientists warn that the Atlantic hurricane season is far from over......»»
Climate change boosted Milton’s landfall strength from Category 2 to 3
Rapid attribution shows the hurricane would have been a much less damaging storm. As attempts to clean up after Hurricane Milton are beginning, scientists at the World Weather Att.....»»
Rare bear meat at gathering gives 10 people a scare—and parasitic worms
These roundworms have the potential to invade your brain. If you're going to eat a bear, make sure it's not rare. You'd be forgiven for thinking that once the beast has been subd.....»»
Event horizon: After photographing black holes, scientists are now making a movie
The first moving images of a black hole could reveal swirls of plasma and collapsing stars, deepening our understanding of the universe......»»
Scientists use light to visualize magnetic domains in quantum materials
When something draws us in like a magnet, we take a closer look. When magnets draw in physicists, they take a quantum look. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University and the University of Tokyo have successfully used light to visualize tiny magne.....»»
A quantum material could be the future of high-energy X-ray imaging and particle detection
Scintillators are detectors that make high-energy X-rays or particles visible through flashes of light to form an image. Their many applications include particle physics, medical imaging, X-ray security and more......»»
Scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria
The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body's natural defense against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites by enveloping them in a protein coat, but how the substance manages to do this has remained unknown until now......»»

Physicists reveal nonlinear transport induced by quantum geometry in planar altermagnets
In recent years, many physicists and materials scientists have been studying a newly uncovered class of magnetic materials known as altermagnets. These materials exhibit a unique type of magnetism that differs from both conventional ferromagnetism an.....»»
In a rare disclosure, the Pentagon provides an update on the X-37B spaceplane
"This first of a kind maneuver from the X-37B is an incredibly important milestone." After more than nine months in an unusual, highly elliptical orbit, the US military's X-37B sp.....»»
Landscape effects of hunter-gatherer practices reshape idea of agriculture
Some of the wild plants that grow across the Australian landscape may not be so wild, according to new research led by Penn State scientists......»»
Geologist helps track lead pollution in a Tibetan glacier, revealing global impact of human activities
A collaborative research team involving Texas A&M University geologist Dr. Franco Marcantonio has examined the source of lead contamination in a Tibetan glacier, concluding that human activities have introduced the pollutant metal into some of the mo.....»»
Weever stings provide scientists with a unique way of assessing impacts of environment on coastal fish populations
Weever fish are perhaps most commonly known for the painful stings they deliver to beach goers around the UK coastline......»»
Benchmarking study aims to assist scientists in analyzing spatial transcriptomics data

The Juicebox and Enel X shutdown: What comes next?
There are open source projects and companies looking to help. Earlier this month, the Italian energy company Enel X announced an abrupt withdrawal from the North American market......»»
Catastrophically warm predictions are more plausible than previously thought, say climate scientists
What will the future climate be like? Scientists around the world are studying climate change, putting together models of the Earth's system and large observational datasets in the hopes of understanding—and predicting over the next 100 years—the.....»»
Scientists accelerate uranium beam with record power
Scientists and engineers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) have reached a new milestone in isotope studies. They accelerated a high-power beam of uranium ions and delivered a record 10.4 kilowatts of continuous beam power to a target. The.....»»
Animal social interactions could speed up evolution
Scientists typically predict how species evolve by looking at their genes and the environment they live in, but new research from the University of Aberdeen has highlighted a key factor that's often overlooked: social interactions, where the genes of.....»»
