A scorching, airless world just 48 light-years away is offering scientists a rare glimpse into the geology of distant planets. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers studied LHS 3844 b--a tidally locked "super-Earth" with a permanent ...

Creating complex molecules usually requires years of experience and countless decisions, but a new AI system is changing that. Synthegy lets chemists guide synthesis and reaction planning using simple language, while powerful algorithms generate and ...

A surprising genetic twist shows that boosting a seemingly ordinary "housekeeping" gene can dramatically improve fruit quality without any trade-offs. By increasing the activity of a tRNA-related gene in strawberries, researchers unlocked richer ...

Astronomers have spotted something surprising in the far outer Solar System--a faint, short-lived atmosphere clinging to a tiny icy world that shouldn't be able to hold one at all. The object, called 2002 XV93, is far smaller than Pluto, yet ...

Tyrannosaurs may be famous as fearsome apex predators, but new research reveals a more opportunistic--and slightly grim--side to their behavior. Using high-resolution 3D scans, a researcher identified precise bite marks on a massive tyrannosaur foot ...

Long-forgotten ancient tablets have been decoded, uncovering a mix of magic, politics, and daily life from early civilizations. Among the discoveries are rare anti-witchcraft rituals meant to protect kings and a regnal list that could point to the .. ...

A new quantum physics study reveals that simply changing a magnetic field over time can unlock entirely new forms of matter that don't exist under normal conditions. By carefully "driving" materials with timed magnetic shifts, researchers created ...

A new study suggests a surprisingly simple compound could help fight Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found that arginine--an inexpensive amino acid already considered safe--can reduce the buildup of toxic amyloid proteins in the brain, a hallmark of ...

Scientists are using sunlight to turn plastic waste into clean fuels like hydrogen, offering a breakthrough solution to both pollution and energy challenges. While still in development, the approach could transform trash into a valuable resource for ...

For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic structure remained a mystery--until now. Researchers have finally mapped their three-dimensional structure in unprecedented ...
