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…

The scientists state that epigenetic clocks based on the entropy of methylation states predict chronological age with accuracy comparable to common methods that rely on the methylation levels of individual cytosines. Researchers Jonathan Chan, Liudmilla Rubbi…

After more than five decades of mystery, scientists have finally unveiled the detailed structure and function of a long-theorized molecular machine in our mitochondria — the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier. This microscopic gatekeeper controls how cells fuel…

E-cigarette use is linked to increased risk of COPD and possibly hypertension, though less harmful than traditional smoking, which raises risks for several serious conditions. A Johns Hopkins Medicine-led study analyzing health data from nearly 250,000 diverse…

A study by Baylor University and Dell Medical School reveals a surprising link between technology use and a reduced risk of dementia in older adults. As the first generation to grow up with digital technology enters an age where dementia risk becomes more…

Researchers have uncovered the 3D structure of RBP3, a key protein in vision, revealing how it transports retinoids and fatty acids and how its dysfunction may lead to retinal diseases. Proteins play a critical role in the human body, acting as essential…

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Microsoft’s new BitNet b1.58 model significantly reduces memory and energy requirements while matching the capabilities of full-precision AI models, offering a promising low-resource alternative.

After hundreds of thousands of years on Earth, humans might assume they’ve seen every possible color.

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – China has launched its first 10G broadband network in Sunan County, Hebei Province, in a major push to modernize internet infrastructure and establish global leadership in ultra-fast connectivity.

T-cell activation involves two phases, enabling a more precise immune response. This insight may boost cancer immunotherapy effectiveness. A research team led by Wolfgang Kastenmüller and Georg Gasteiger used advanced microscopy techniques to closely observe…

Researchers have achieved a major leap in quantum computing by simulating Google’s 53-qubit Sycamore circuit using over 1,400 GPUs and groundbreaking algorithmic techniques. Their efficient tensor network methods and clever “top-k” sampling approach drastically…

“Optical rotatum” is the term researchers coined to describe a newly discovered structure of light. Beams of light that can be shaped into corkscrew-like forms, known as optical vortices, are used today in a variety of applications. Pushing the boundaries…

New research unveils the first experimental evidence of the anomalous Hall effect arising in a collinear antiferromagnet exhibiting non-Fermi liquid behavior. A team of international researchers, led by Mayukh Kumar Ray, Mingxuan Fu, and Satoru Nakatsuji…

Researchers at Rice University have developed a sophisticated 3D photonic-crystal cavity that can trap and control light in unprecedented ways, unlocking powerful light-matter interactions. Their work explores how photons and electrons interact under intense…

Rutgers' research reveals the widespread presence of mercury pollution in Earth’s polar regions. In 1962, environmentalist and author Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, warning the world about the dangers of the pesticide DDT. Her work drew attention…
