Rather than resurrect extinct species, cloning technology could save those at risk of dying out, like the red wolf, but only with solid conservation efforts and habitat protections

Spillover from the politicization of the COVID pandemic has eroded vaccine confidence, but everyday people can play a role in building it back up

Discarded authors Sarah Gabbott and Jan Zalasiewicz, observers of the geological past, look into the future

President Trump’s efforts to dismantle climate policies won’t stop renewables from rising or fossil fuels from slowing, according to outlooks from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and BloombergNEF

NASA’s Lucy mission is about to fly past asteroid Donaldjohanson, a strange, elongated rock in the main belt. While this three-mile-wide object isn’t one of Lucy’s primary targets, the April 20 flyby serves as a full dress rehearsal before the spacecraft…

A team led by UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering has discovered materials that defy convention, shrinking when heated and expanding under pressure, marking a breakthrough in fundamental science. What expands when crushed, shrinks when heated, and could…

A groundbreaking discovery has rocked the field of neutrino astronomy—scientists have detected an ultra-high-energy neutrino using the KM3NeT telescope, with an energy level 16,000 times greater than the most powerful collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.…

Scientists created a fast, affordable way to convert CO2 into synthetic fuel precursors using spray-coated catalysts and direct crystallization techniques. What if we could turn harmful pollution into a valuable energy source? As the world moves toward carbon…

Researchers have identified antiferromagnetism in a real icosahedral quasicrystal, reigniting interest in the quest to uncover antiferromagnetic quasicrystals. Quasicrystals (QCs) are a remarkable class of solid materials characterized by a unique atomic…

As chips get smaller and more powerful, keeping them cool becomes a serious bottleneck—until now. A research team from the University of Tokyo has unveiled a revolutionary 3D water-cooling system that harnesses the full power of water’s phase change, achieving…

Researchers at POSTECH identified a new battery degradation mechanism triggered by deep discharging. Avoiding full discharge significantly extends the life of high-nickel lithium-ion batteries. A research team led by Professor Jihyun Hong from the Department…

The Ambisonics algorithm generates immersive virtual soundscapes by utilizing a dome-shaped array of loudspeakers. Surround-sound systems can enhance a multimedia experience, but imagine a speaker setup capable of fully recreating a three-dimensional sound…

A breakthrough by Chinese scientists has pushed flexible solar technology forward by solving a major design challenge: bonding smooth perovskite layers to rougher CIGS substrates. Their new technique uses smart solvent manipulation and a seeded layer to improve…

Google has identified a new phishing attack that can slip past its robust filtering system, posing a threat to millions of Gmail users around the world.

A bizarre hailstorm of icy “mushballs” — slushy mixtures of ammonia and water — has been confirmed on Jupiter, where intense lightning strikes illuminate these frozen slushballs as they rain from towering storms. Using the first 3D visualizations of Jupiter’s…

A new soft auditory brainstem implant (ABI) developed by researchers at EPFL may revolutionize hearing restoration for people who can't benefit from cochlear implants. Unlike traditional rigid ABIs, this flexible device conforms to the brainstem, reducing…

NASA and partners are building the first quantum gravity sensor for space, a breakthrough instrument that uses ultra-cold atoms to detect tiny shifts in Earth’s gravity from orbit. With potential applications ranging from mapping hidden aquifers to exploring…

Oxford researchers have unearthed a cosmic surprise showing that the hydrogen needed for water was embedded in the very rocks that formed Earth. Researchers at the University of Oxford have challenged the widely held theory that Earth's water came from asteroid…

A bold geochemical model reveals that TOI‑270 d, a sub‑Neptune 73 light‑years away, is likely a giant rocky world cloaked in a blistering, dense atmosphere rather than a watery Hycean planet. Webb space telescope observations uncovered carbon dioxide, methane…

Chemists are pioneering a clean, electrochemical method to make iron, a key step in decarbonizing the steel industry. Their process, which uses saltwater and iron oxide instead of carbon-heavy blast furnaces, has been optimized to work with naturally sourced…
