New research reveals a forgotten side of medieval Christianity--one rooted not in cathedrals, but in fields, forests, and farms. Historian Dr. Krisztina Ilko uncovers how the Augustinian order built its power through "green" miracles: restoring ...
SAR11 bacteria dominate the world's oceans by being incredibly efficient, shedding genes to survive in nutrient-poor waters. But that extreme streamlining appears to backfire when conditions change. Under stress, many cells keep copying their DNA ...
MACE is a next-generation experiment designed to catch muonium transforming into its antimatter twin, a process that would rewrite the rules of particle physics. The last search for this effect ended more than two decades ago, and MACE plans to leap ...
NASA's SpaceX Crew-12 team has entered a carefully controlled two-week quarantine as the countdown begins for their journey to the International Space Station. The four astronauts--representing NASA, the European Space Agency, and Roscosmos--are ...
Hidden lava tunnels on the Moon and Mars could one day shelter human explorers, offering natural protection from radiation and space debris. A European research team has unveiled a bold new mission concept that uses three different robots working ...
A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing many qubits to be read at once. The team has already ...
A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is giving scientists their clearest look yet at a black hole collision--and a powerful way to test Einstein's theory of gravity. Its clarity allowed scientists to measure multiple "tones" from the ...
Researchers studying nearly 2 million older adults found that cerebral amyloid angiopathy sharply raises the risk of developing dementia. Within five years, people with the condition were far more likely to be diagnosed than those without it. The ...
Despite growing into the largest animals ever to walk on land, sauropods began life small, exposed, and alone. Fossil evidence suggests their babies were frequently eaten by multiple predators, making them a key part of the Jurassic food chain. This ...
When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer's-like mice, this replay still occurs -- but the signals are jumbled and poorly coordinated. As a result, memory-supporting brain ...
