In order to find rare processes from collider data, scientists use computer algorithms to determine the type and properties of particles based on the faint signals that they leave in the detector. One such particle is th...

Superconductors can carry electricity without losing energy, a superpower that makes them invaluable for a range of sought-after applications, from maglev trains to quantum computers. Generally, this comes at the price o...

Most metals expand when their temperature rises. The Eiffel Tower, for example, is about 10 to 15 centimeters taller in summer than in winter due to its thermal expansion. However, this effect is extremely undesirable fo...

Recognising that someone lacks information you possess is key for effective communication and cooperation, and bonobos seem to share this skill with humans

Santorini's earthquakes are intensifying as a rare earthquake swarm continues to rattle the Mediterranean's Aegean Sea. The earthquakes are probably caused by faults rather than volcanic activity.

Meteorologists expected global temperatures to start falling after record highs in 2023 and 2024 - instead January 2025 hit a new high

For the first time, a team of researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) quantified and rigorously studied the effect of metal strength on accurately modeling coupled metal/high explosive (HE) experimen...

Using traditional crossbreeding, researchers have created a new strain of rice that produces much less methane, a potent greenhouse gas, when it is grown in flooded fields

Taking a daily omega-3 supplement appears to slow down the rate of biological ageing by three months - and even more so if you also take vitamin D and exercise

An international team of engineers and physicists have found a way to use quantum light to improve the performance of cutting-edge spectroscopy.

Nearly 119,000 birds have been culled at a farm in California after a bird flu called H5N9 was detected among the poultry.

More than a decade of data about the particles zipping around our sun can solve mysteries from the behaviour of individual particles to the history of our solar system - while raising new questions

From Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics to bipedal machines you can buy today, here are 12 important milestones in the development of robots.

How do Hula-Hoops keep from falling down as we twirl them around?
