Researchers have found that a fossil of the lizard-like Tridentinosaurus antiquus is mostly fake.

The New York Times' (NYT) legal proceedings against OpenAI and Microsoft has opened a new frontier in the ongoing legal challenges brought on by the use of copyrighted data to "train" or improve generative AI. There are ...

Neutron stars in the universe, ultracold atomic gases in the laboratory, and the quark-gluon plasma created in collisions of atomic nuclei at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC): they may seem totally unrelated but, surprisi...

In the pursuit of sustainable energy solutions, the quest for more efficient solar cells is paramount. Organic photovoltaic cells have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional silicon-based counterparts due to t...

Assembling starch granules into 3D shapes could achieve the same thickening effect in foods with up to 50 per cent fewer granules, reducing the calories and carbohydrates without sacrificing texture

Two studies pinpoint long-lived immune cells that "remember" allergies and likely sustain them through time.

A technological milestone has been achieved at the Fritz Haber Institute (FHI) of the Max Planck Society in Berlin. For the first time, an infrared free-electron laser (FEL) has been operated in a two-color mode. This gl...
