Scientists have uncovered new evidence that Venus may still be tearing itself apart from within. Advanced 3D simulations indicate that some of the planet's giant rift valleys formed relatively recently and could stil...

One of Europe's highest distinctions in condensed matter physics has been awarded for a discovery that is reshaping our understanding of magnetism: The 2026 Europhysics Prize of the European Physical Society (EPS) Co...

A new analysis suggests the Sun holds far more silver than earlier estimates indicated. More advanced models of the solar atmosphere raised the calculated amount by 55 percent, bringing it into much closer agreement with...

The Deep Space Network is our best way to communicate with spacecraft beyond Earths orbit, and one of its three stations around the world is in the middle of a wildfire

The two infants buried in the same Byzantine-era grave may have been twins who died around the time of birth.

Additional states have been added to the list of locations impacted by an outbreak of foodborne illness tied to iceberg lettuce.

A new study reveals that detailed personalized feedback from humanoid robots causes immediate cognitive overload after errors, slowing immediate recovery despite improving long-term task performance.

A new study reveals that greater Japanese horseshoe bats asymmetrically adjust their echolocation call frequencies to align with colony mates.

A young girl in China died after being given an experimental gene therapy intended to treat a neurodevelopmental syndrome, an investigation by Science and Retraction Watch revealed.

By measuring allele frequency changes across adult age groups, the team identified 168 variants under active selection, including 71 pathogenic mutations under purifying selection.

Researchers from the University of Amsterdam and the University of New South Wales have answered a question that has been around for decades: whether ions of the metal ytterbium can enter certain long-lived, nearly stabl...

A long-term hyena study reveals female reproductive inequality exceeds male inequality over multiple generations.

A new study shows that lipoic acid trisulfide (LASSS) protects hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) from age-related nitration.

Using site-specific knockout mouse models, researchers found that GIPR agonists suppress appetite via the brainstem, while GIPR antagonists act in the hypothalamus to release a "brake" on hindbrain satiety.

To understand where climate change is heading, we have to look at the planets distant past and appreciate the disturbing uniqueness of our situation, says Bill McGuire

By enhancing the functionality of agentic browsers, they have become insecure and could be sharing personal information.

In a small study, restricting calories led to greater weight loss among people with a biological age younger than their chronological age

The promise of quantum computing is to solve complex problems faster and more energy-efficiently than today's supercomputers-from optimizing logistics to simulating molecules. This goal is coming within reach as the ...

A scientific team led by Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, has identified the origin of a mysterious excess of low-energy gamma rays emitted by the nucleus zinc-70. They found that the excess is caused by magneti...

Humans have been observing solar eclipses for millennia - carving, painting, sketching and finally photographing as the moon blocks out the disc of the sun

All four main LHC experiments have found new signs that oxygen and neon collisions may create the extreme state of matter that existed during the first microseconds after the Big Bang.

We tend to think of the brain as being made up of highly specialised cells, but a study in mice suggests that most neurons are generalists
