Scientists have created a microscopic QR code so tiny it can only be seen with an electron microscope—smaller than most bacteria and now officially a world record. But this isn’t just about size; it’s about durability. By engraving data into...
A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and polarization, rather than just on a surface. An AI...
Scientists trained in Finland to dive beneath Arctic ice, studying fragile polar ecosystems threatened by climate change. The course gives rare, hands-on skills to explore underwater habitats robots cannot safely survey, as instructors warn of the...
A new solar breakthrough may overcome a long-standing efficiency barrier. Researchers used a “spin-flip” metal complex to capture and multiply energy from sunlight through singlet fission. The result reached about 130% efficiency, meaning more...
Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how nitrogen atoms are arranged, they found certain structures capture CO2 better and release it using far...
For decades, astronomers have been puzzled by strange “zebra stripe” patterns in radio waves from the Crab Pulsar — bright bands separated by complete darkness. Now, new research suggests the answer lies in a cosmic tug-of-war between gravity and...
A widely used sugar substitute found in everything from keto snacks to diet drinks may not be as harmless as it seems. New research shows that erythritol can disrupt brain blood vessel cells, reducing their ability to relax, increasing harmful...
The 20th edition of Earth Hour has begun in New Zealand and is slowly progressing around the globe. The event aims to raise awareness about climate change.

Scientists have uncovered how your body actually tells your brain to stop eating when you’re sick. In a new study, researchers found that specialized cells in the gut detect parasites and send signals that ultimately trigger the brain to suppress...
Scientists have identified a key biological system that helps brown fat burn energy by building the networks it needs to function. A protein called SLIT3 splits into two parts, with each piece guiding the growth of blood vessels and nerves inside...
A fossil ape discovered in northern Egypt is reshaping the story of human evolution. The species, Masripithecus, lived about 17 to 18 million years ago and may sit very close to the ancestor of all modern apes. This finding challenges the...
A massive 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar in March 2025, but what makes this event extraordinary is what happened next. For the first time, a nearby CCTV camera captured the fault rupture in real time, giving scientists a rare, direct look...
一项新的研究表明，高剂量的抗氧化剂——通常被认为是无害或有益的——实际上可能会影响子孙后代。给予 NAC 等常见补充剂的雄性小鼠产生的后代具有微妙但显着的面部和头骨变化......
科学家们发现了癌症治疗效果并非对每个人都同样有效的一个隐藏原因。某些药物可能被困在肿瘤细胞内的溶酶体内，形成缓慢释放的储库，从而造成药物分布不均匀。这...
肠道细菌不仅仅是被动的乘客，它们还可以主动地将蛋白质直接发送到我们的细胞中。使用显微注射系统，即使是无害的微生物也可以影响免疫反应和代谢途径。研究人员发现这些...
物种消失的速度比以往任何时候都快，许多物种甚至在科学家知道它们存在之前就消失了。现在，一个国际团队正在与时间赛跑，通过建立一个庞大的开放获取基因组数据库来揭开隐藏在海浪之下的生命......
研究人员发现了一种在微小磁性结构中产生奇异振荡状态的新方法——仅使用最少的能量。通过激发磁波，它们触发了一种微妙的运动，产生了前所未有的丰富频谱的信号......
今天的火星可能看起来像一片冰冻的沙漠，但新的证据表明，它水汪汪的过去并没有悄然消失——它可能是被强大的沙尘暴吹进太空的。科学家发现，即使是相对较小的局部风暴......
科学家们发现了一种令人惊讶的方法来研究年轻的 M 矮星周围的恶劣太空天气。星光中神秘的凹陷原来是在恒星磁场中旋转的巨大等离子体环。这些结构的作用就像内置的...
