Researchers have developed a compact quantum detector that makes terahertz radiation much easier to detect。 A specially designed metasurface funnels incoming energy into tiny active regions, greatly strengthening the electrical signal produced。 The approach boosted efficiency by roughly 20 times compared to earlier designs and could pave the way fo
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft just used Mars as a giant gravitational slingshot to continue its journey toward a strange metal rich asteroid。 The close flyby boosted the spacecraft’s speed by about 1,000 mph while also producing rare crescent images of Mars glowing through its dusty atmosphere
Great apes appear to build friendships much like humans do。 By studying grooming behavior, researchers discovered that chimpanzees and bonobos form close inner circles along with wider networks of weaker social connections。 Chimpanzees focus on a few trusted partners and become more selective with age, while bonobos maintain a more egalitarian soci
Scientists have peered inside the skull of a 380-million-year-old Antarctic fish that was closely related to the first animals to walk on land, revealing surprising clues about how life began its move out of the water。 Using advanced neutron imaging, researchers discovered that Koharalepis jarviki had features suited for living near the water’s sur
June's night sky delivers several must-see events, starting with a close encounter between Venus and Jupiter after sunset。 Mercury joins the pair to form a rare three-planet lineup, while the Moon puts on a special show by passing in front of Venus for viewers in parts of the Americas。 The month also marks the start of astronomical summer and the r
Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions。 They discovered that human neurons gradually lose their ability to regrow after damage during development — but that ability can potentially be switched back on。 The team identified a gene network control
New DNA evidence shows that Europe’s hunter-gatherers and early farmers interacted far more closely than previously thought, with women likely playing a crucial role in spreading farming across northwestern Europe。 Centuries later, the arrival of Bell Beaker migrants triggered another sweeping population transformation that extended all the way to
A newly identified protein may be one of the biggest obstacles holding CAR T-cell therapy back。 Researchers found that NFIL3 causes these engineered immune cells to become exhausted and lose their cancer-fighting power over time。 When NFIL3 was disabled, the cells remained stronger for longer and controlled tumors more effectively in animal models
