Physicists at Peking University have uncovered a new way to confine light far beyond conventional limits -- without relying on metals and their inherent energy dissipation. By formulating the singular dispersion equation, the team discovered narwhal ...

Scientists have finally figured out how mysterious "breather" laser pulses work, solving a puzzle that has frustrated laser physicists for years. These unusual ultrafast lasers produce light pulses that rhythmically grow and shrink instead of staying ...

Jupiter's storms aren't just gigantic -- they may unleash lightning far more powerful than anything on Earth. Using NASA's Juno spacecraft, scientists discovered that some lightning bolts on the gas giant could pack up to 100 times the punch of Earth ...

Scientists have discovered a bizarre planetary system where a rocky world orbits farther out than giant gas planets, defying long-standing theories of planet formation. The finding hints that some planets may form much later than expected -- and that ...

Researchers discovered that leucine, a nutrient found in protein-rich foods, can supercharge mitochondria by protecting crucial energy-producing proteins inside cells. The breakthrough uncovers a powerful new link between diet and cellular energy -- ...

MIT scientists have identified cysteine -- an amino acid found in foods like meat, dairy, beans, and nuts -- as a potent trigger for intestinal repair. In mice, a cysteine-rich diet activated immune cells that released healing signals, helping stem . ...

The French Riviera may look like an unlikely place for a tsunami disaster, but scientists warn the threat is far more real than most people realize. Historical events and new modeling show that destructive waves have already struck the Mediterranean ...

Reptiles have been growing armor in their skin on and off for hundreds of millions of years, but scientists never fully understood how it evolved. A massive new evolutionary study shows these skin bones appeared independently in multiple lizard ...

Researchers have built an ultra-sensitive sensor capable of detecting unimaginably small amounts of energy -- below one zeptojoule. The breakthrough relies on fragile superconducting materials that react to even the slightest temperature change. This ...

Women may be especially sensitive to the effects of common dementia risk factors, according to a new UC San Diego study of over 17,000 adults. Researchers say tailoring prevention strategies specifically for women could be key to reducing Alzheimer's ...
