The government shutdown delayed NASA’s press conference on mysterious interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, but when it finally happened, Harvard astronomer Avi Loeb wasn’t happy. NASA insisted it’s a comet, while Loeb maintains we should consider the alien spacecraft possibility. The scientific debate high
Researchers have discovered crystalline hematite and maghemite in moon samples from the South Pole-Aitken Basin. These oxidized minerals formed during major impact events, suggesting temporary oxygen-rich conditions on the lunar surface. The findings could explain mysterious magnetic anomalies detec
Europe’s KM3NeT neutrino telescope has detected the highest-energy neutrino ever observed – 30 times more powerful than previous records. The 220 petaelectronvolt particle was captured on February 13, 2023, and scientists are racing to trace its cosmic origins. This detection could reveal secrets ab
CERN researchers have developed a revolutionary ion trapping method that could finally unlock the chemistry of superheavy elements. The technique achieves precision measurements using dramatically fewer atoms than conventional methods.
A paradigm-shifting discovery reveals vinculin isn’t just a structural protein but contains six mechanical switches that enable cellular memory. This finding could revolutionize how we understand heart disease and brain function.
A team of physicists has proposed using existing neutrino detectors as giant particle colliders. This unconventional approach could achieve collision energies far beyond what the Large Hadron Collider can produce. The concept could revolutionize particle physics without building new multi-billion do
A biotech entrepreneur has secured $30 million to study genetically edited babies through new company Preventive. Meanwhile, startup Still Bright aims to clean up copper production using water-based reactions. Both ventures represent high-stakes bets on controversial but potentially transformative t
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable vulnerability in one of medicine’s most drug-resistant bacteria. By exploiting the pathogen’s own defense mechanisms, they’ve created a compound that becomes more lethal as the bacteria tries to fight it off.
An international research team has shattered quantum nanodiamond production limitations with a revolutionary method that takes just four minutes. This breakthrough could transform medical diagnostics and quantum sensing applications.
Researchers are building the most comprehensive atlas of human heart development ever created. This breakthrough could transform how we understand and treat congenital heart defects affecting millions worldwide.
