A new analysis suggests the Sun holds far more silver than earlier estimates indicated。 More advanced models of the solar atmosphere raised the calculated amount by 55 percent, bringing it into much closer agreement with ancient meteorites。 The technique may also help scientists track the cosmic origins of silver and other heavy elements
Scientists have created an “electron lighthouse” that uses laser light to launch and steer electrons through a semiconductor without an applied electrical field。 The quantum effect could eventually improve optical sensors, communications, imaging, and information storage
A surprisingly simple change could make sodium-ion batteries far more powerful while opening the door to turning seawater into drinking water。 Researchers at the University of Surrey found that sodium vanadium oxide performs much better when its naturally occurring water is left inside instead of being removed during manufacturing
Researchers have uncovered a possible biological pathway connecting obesity to Alzheimer’s disease。 Obesity appears to raise levels of certain fat molecules that can travel to the brain, disrupt its immune defenses, and promote harmful amyloid buildup。 Correcting this fat imbalance improved memory and brain function in Alzheimer’s models
Keeping a regular daily schedule may help reduce pain and depression, especially among older adults with insomnia。 Researchers found that consistent times for waking, eating, socializing, and sleeping were linked to better well-being regardless of sleep quality。 These routines may strengthen the body’s internal clock and limit the disruptive effect
More than 150 years after Darwin’s finches helped reshape biology, Galápagos plants are exposing another evolutionary surprise。 Giant daisies repeatedly developed similar heat-tolerant leaf shapes, but each lineage used a different combination of genes。 Researchers also found major genetic differences among isolated populations, suggesting new spec
A gene involved in the brain’s overnight cleaning system may change how strongly poor sleep affects Alzheimer’s-related brain changes。 The findings point toward more personalized prevention strategies based on both genetics and sleep habits
Modern humans carry DNA from two mysterious extinct lineages in addition to Neanderthals and Denisovans。 Their hidden genetic legacy shows that our evolutionary past was shaped by repeated mixing among many different human groups
Scientists have uncovered new evidence that Venus may still be tearing itself apart from within。 Advanced 3D simulations indicate that some of the planet's giant rift valleys formed relatively recently and could still be expanding。 The results suggest Venus has a far more active interior than researchers once believed, challenging the long-held vie
CapuchinAI, a portable testing station equipped with a touch screen and facial recognition software, could help scientists study primate intelligence in the wild
Scientists have created twisted laser beams that interact differently with right-handed and left-handed molecules, revealing their identity through the fragments they produce。 The approach could provide a faster, simpler, and more sensitive way to analyze important molecules used in chemistry and pharmaceuticals
Scientists have built the first all-optical photonic time crystal, allowing them to reshape the behavior of terahertz light at extraordinary speeds。 The breakthrough could open the door to ultrafast computing, smarter communication systems, advanced imaging, and a new generation of highly tunable lasers
China’s Tianwen-1 orbiter captured a faint but remarkable view of 3I/ATLAS as the interstellar comet raced past Mars。 The images reveal its tail and glowing coma, offering scientists a glimpse of material born beyond our solar system
Scientists traced a mysterious surge of low-energy gamma rays from zinc-70 to magnetic changes occurring inside its nucleus。 The breakthrough could improve models of how stars, supernovae, and neutron star mergers create heavy elements
A new analysis has precisely dated paintings in France’s Font-de-Gaume cave for the first time。 Scientists discovered charcoal inside black pigments once thought to contain only minerals, allowing them to use radiocarbon dating。 The results show that a bison was painted about 13,000 years ago, while sections of a mask-like figure were added during
Scientists studying magma from the 2021 Tajogaite eruption on La Palma have discovered that extreme heat can dramatically change how an eruption unfolds。 When magma becomes superheated, it can dissolve the tiny crystal seeds that normally trigger crystallization, allowing the molten rock to remain fluid far longer as it rises
Europa’s hidden ocean has made the icy moon one of the solar system’s most promising places to search for habitable conditions。 Scientists have hoped that water from this deep ocean might rise through cracks and form shallow reservoirs that future spacecraft could more easily study。 New simulations suggest that journey is unlikely because turbulent
