In a historic first, private donors have pledged roughly $1 billion to support CERN’s proposed Future Circular Collider. The massive project, which would succeed the Large Hadron Collider, could get a final construction decision around 2028.
A new study reveals that Physcomitrium patens moss endured nearly a year outside the International Space Station. Remarkably, 80% of spores survived the extreme conditions and continued growing normally upon return to Earth. This breakthrough has major implications for future space colonization effo
Scientists have cracked the code on how tightly packed chromosomes can move so dynamically inside living cells. The discovery reveals they obey a universal physical law similar to Newton’s third law. This solves a contradiction that’s puzzled biologists for decades.
Biological tissues undergo mechanical phase transitions similar to water freezing into ice, according to new research. This discovery explains why fibrotic diseases progress in sudden jumps rather than gradually, opening new therapeutic possibilities.
A distant blazar 4FGL J0309.9-6058 exhibits a remarkable 550-day gamma-ray pulse pattern. This cosmic heartbeat provides unprecedented clues about supermassive black hole dynamics and jet precession mechanisms.
A groundbreaking mathematical study challenges the simulation hypothesis using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem. Researchers argue reality operates beyond algorithmic computation, making cosmic simulation impossible. This has profound implications for physics and philosophy.
Earth has lost its only active connection to Venus as Japan declares the Akatsuki spacecraft dead after 15 years. The resilient probe survived engine failure and five years adrift to deliver groundbreaking Venus research.
Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft has officially ended its mission after 15 years in space. The resilient orbiter overcame early failure to deliver eight years of Venus data, leaving Earth without eyes on our mysterious neighbor until at least 2030.
Scientists have discovered mysterious molecules in dogs’ blood that change with age, potentially revealing biomarkers for healthier aging. These findings could benefit both canine and human longevity through early detection of age-related decline.
Ancient horsetail plants, thriving for over 400 million years, contain oxygen isotope ratios previously only found in meteorites. This discovery could unlock climate secrets from when dinosaurs roamed Earth, according to new research from The University of New Mexico.
