Strange Quantum Oscillations Reveal New Physics in an Exotic Material
Zirconium pentatelluride continues to produce quantum oscillations under magnetic fields so strong that conventional behavior should disappear. Credit:…
Funding boost to help restore water vole population in Nottinghamshire
A wildlife charity hopes funding of £760,000 will help the water vole population in Nottinghamshire to “thrive again”.…
London’s low emission zone is working – so why are cities around the world so cautious about clean air? | Low emission zones
Ten years ago, Alastair Harper was an advocate for young people’s health sitting in a stuffy meeting room…
Titan is the only place besides Earth with stable liquid on its surface, a working weather cycle and complex organic chemistry — and now, according to 2025 NASA research, a plausible mechanism for building the first membrane around a primitive cell, without liquid water involved.
Titan has an unusual way of making an alien landscape feel familiar. Clouds gather. Rain falls. Rivers cut…
MIT engineers built a small room-temperature device that generates paired radio waves; a message encoded in one signal could be decoded only with its matching partner
MIT researchers develop room-temperature quantum technology using magnetic film to enable secure communication. (AI Image) Quantum technology has…
Biologists who necropsied 75 bats found dead under wind turbines in southern Alberta counted 32 with visible injuries and 69 with blood pooled in their chests, because the pressure drop behind a passing blade bursts a bat’s lungs without the blade ever touching it
The mystery that sent biologists crawling under the wind turbines of southern Alberta was a simple contradiction: dead…
Florida builds to adapt amid threats of sea level rise and worsening storms
One day there was a roof. The next morning it was gone. Jeffrey Huber still remembers the day…
India’s Rocket Launches Costliest Among Major Space Powers: Cambridge Study
New Delhi: As India marks its third National Space Day, celebrating the success of Chandrayaan-3 and the country’s…
Physics says a spacecraft with mass can never reach the speed of light: as it accelerates closer to c, the energy required rises without limit, so light speed isn’t merely difficult to reach — for massive objects, it’s physically unattainable.
A powerful enough engine can make a spacecraft move faster and faster. That familiar sentence contains a trap:…
This shark can live 400 years. Its eyes barely seem to age
Dorota Skowronska-Krawczyk watches a Greenland shark glide slowly through the dark waters of the Arctic on her computer…
Sewage alerts in place at East Runton and Gorleston beach
Gorleston and East Runton have seen sewage discharged into the sea from storm overflows. The alerts have been…
Three black holes appear to be feeding inside a single galaxy seen 1.2 billion years after the Big Bang, and the two nearest its centre are close enough to spiral together within roughly 700 million years — though the paper reporting them calls it evidence, not a confirmed triplet
In astronomy, a broad emission line in hydrogen with no matching broad line in the forbidden oxygen doublet…
