For years, scientists have known that tiny chemical patterns can form inside metal alloys, but most assumed these patterns were insignificant or disappeared during manufacturing. Recent experiments have shown that...
In a breakthrough that connects modern science with ideas first explored a century ago, researchers have witnessed a surprising phenomenon once thought possible only in inorganic metal oxides appearing inside...
An international group of researchers led by the Doñana Biological Station (EBD-CSIC) has identified a previously unknown species of fossilized insect from the Jurassic period in Australia, estimated to be...
Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, working in partnership with Roche, have created a next-generation human liver organoid microarray platform designed to predict which medications might trigger harmful immune...
Pulsars may be revealing that extremely low-frequency gravitational waves are moving through the universe. Observations reported in 2023 by international pulsar timing array collaborations could be caused by either a...
What do you do when you encounter a strange astronomical event, a collection of data from planets thousands of light-years away, and models that can’t quite explain what you’re seeing?...
It rains on the Sun, and scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) have finally uncovered the reason why. Unlike the water that falls from clouds on...
Nature follows countless rhythms: the changing of the seasons comes from Earth’s orbit around the Sun, and the steady tick of a clock arises from the back-and-forth swing of its...
Researchers at the University of Basel in Switzerland have found that certain nutrients can cause a mild stress reaction in nematodes. Surprisingly, this reaction doesn’t harm the worms — it...
A new randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial suggests that a single round of low-dose radiation therapy could offer a safe and effective alternative for people suffering from painful knee osteoarthritis. Participants...
