A powerful new AI tool has uncovered what could be one of the biggest integrity problems in modern science。 After analyzing 2。6 million cancer research papers published between 1999 and 2024, researchers identified more than 250,000 studies with writing patterns resembling papers suspected of being produced by fraudulent "paper mills

Humans are often described as the planet's ultimate "super-predator," but wild animals do not fear every human the same way。 After analyzing three decades of research, scientists found that animals become much more alert and spend less time feeding when people pose a real threat, such as hunters or fishers。 In contrast, tourists, researchers, and o

Researchers solved the mystery of how soft lithium dendrites crack the hard ceramic inside solid-state batteries, triggering short circuits。 The breakthrough could help engineers build safer, longer-lasting batteries for smartphones, electric vehicles, and other electronics

A new study suggests spacecraft exhaust could quickly contaminate the moon's most scientifically valuable regions, potentially masking ancient clues about how life began on Earth。 Researchers say future lunar missions should consider new ways to reduce and monitor this pollution before it becomes widespread

In 1982, she led the research team that figured out how to genetically alter plants, a discovery that would eventually transform global agriculture

chatbots are not just a propaganda tool for violent extremists but are aiding in bomb construction and attack planning, new research finds

A deadly fungus has wiped out amphibian populations around the globe, yet some mysteriously recover。 Researchers discovered that survivors develop powerful immune defenses while they are still tadpoles, giving them a head start before the fungus can attack after metamorphosis。 The study also uncovered a vast collection of previously unknown antimic

An ancient sea worm may hold the secret to a whole new category of natural materials。 Its jaws combine proteins and metal ions in a way that gives them metal-like strength and unusual mechanical behavior, yet they still differ from traditional metals。 Researchers believe these "bio-metals" could open new directions in materials science while reveal

An unusual leopard gecko that naturally develops aggressive tumors may become an important new model for cancer research。 Scientists found its tumors share key genetic changes with human cancers, offering a rare opportunity to study the disease as it develops naturally

A distant Sun-like star appears to have devoured one of its planets, leaving behind a surprising chemical fingerprint。 Researchers found an unusually high concentration of lithium, a strong sign that planetary material was mixed into the star。 Careful comparisons with dozens of similar stars confirmed the signal is highly unusual, and scientists th

A new experimental treatment may have found a way to outsmart glioblastoma’s toughest defense: the blood-brain barrier。 Researchers used sugar-coated nanoparticles to ferry genetic instructions that restore a key tumor-suppressing protein directly into brain cancer cells。 In mouse studies, the therapy increased median survival by 50% while shrinkin

Researchers found that semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, slowed biological aging markers in adults with HIV, marking the first clinical evidence that the drug may influence human aging。 Although the findings are encouraging, scientists say larger studies are needed before concluding that the medication can help people age mo

A new study suggests the brain begins making decisions much earlier than scientists previously thought。 Researchers found that even primary sensory regions are influenced by higher brain areas through rapid feedback loops, rather than simply passing information forward。 This more dynamic view of brain function could help engineers design future AI

Researchers identified traces of erythrulose, a monosaccharide, thousands of light-years away

Researchers have created self-destructing living plastic that uses engineered bacteria to completely break itself down when activated。 The material degrades in just six days without creating microplastics, offering a potential new solution for single-use plastic waste

A 1,600-year-old mummy discovered in Egypt has revealed something archaeologists had never seen before: a fragment of Homer’s Iliad used during embalming。 The papyrus was identified as part of the famous "Catalogue of Ships," one of the best-known sections of the ancient epic。 Researchers say it is the first archaeological evidence of a Greek liter

Researchers have achieved a major milestone by creating a long-sought two-dimensional quantum material and confirming its unusual conducting edge states。 The ability to control these states through strain could make the material a promising platform for future room-temperature quantum electronics

A research scientist at Lockheed, he came up with the idea for a computer system that would search scientific and technical literature almost instantaneously

Researchers have recreated the physics of extracting energy from a spinning black hole using a stationary device that produces synthetic ultrafast rotation。 The achievement transforms a long-standing theoretical idea into a practical experiment and could inspire new advances in optics, wireless communications, and quantum science

Ultra-fine bubbles may offer a cleaner way to perfect inkjet printing for next-generation electronics。 By simply changing the number of bubbles in each droplet, researchers were able to dramatically reshape the final printed pattern without leaving behind unwanted chemical residues
