Self-regulating process governs cosmic order inside star clusters
A team of astrophysicists from Nanjing University and University of Bonn have demonstrated that, rather than being random, the mass of new stars born inside a s...
Carbon nanotubes are closing the gap on copper conductivity
Carbon nanotubes are one technology that many observers believe hasn't quite lived up to the extreme hype that surrounded them when they first appeared on the s...
Waste biomass helps unlock hydrogen and formate in lower-energy electrolysis
A research team has developed a high-efficiency electrochemical system that simultaneously produces hydrogen and value-added chemicals using glycerol, a low-cos...
Scientists map hidden magnetism on the sun's far side
For observers on Earth, the sun appears as a bright, familiar disk—but what we see is only half the story. Like the moon, one half of the sun is permanently hid...
Why delaying climate action now means higher seas by 2100
Imagine your favorite sunny beach. Anywhere will do. You look out and see the ocean stretching to the horizon. To a glaciologist, that view is not just water; i...
Sombrero Galaxy's vast halo emerges in rare detail 30 million light-years away
Messier 104, nicknamed the Sombrero Galaxy, is a popular target for amateur observing and astronomical research. Its recognizable extended halo, as well as a fa...
'Aquila Booster' challenges theoretical limits of particle acceleration in pulsar wind nebulae
The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected PeV (1015 eV) gamma-ray emission from a pulsar wind nebula powered by PSR J1849-0001 in the...
LAMOST maps open cluster NGC 1647, linking broad main sequence to differential reddening
Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), astronomers have observed a nearby young open cluster known as NGC 1647. Results o...
Gravity's subtle effect on light could improve groundwater, volcano and carbon storage monitoring
A study by University of Wollongong (UOW) physicist Dr. Enbang Li has demonstrated that gravity can subtly influence the behavior of light, a breakthrough that...
42 lost pages of the new testament manuscript discovered
An international team of academics led by Professor Garrick Allen at the University of Glasgow has successfully recovered 42 lost pages from one of the world's...
Amazon recovery masks diversity loss as fires, droughts and windstorms reshape forest edges
Even after fires, severe droughts, and windstorms, the vegetation in degraded Amazonian forests demonstrates a high capacity for regeneration, including tree sp...
First gap-free peanut genomes reveal genes behind bigger seeds and better oils
An international team of researchers has produced complete, gap-free genome sequences for six peanut varieties, providing a comprehensive blueprint for future p...
