Consumers demand transparency, but is it rewarded?
Transparent supply chains boost consumer trust—if the results are positive. But what if they aren't? A new paper by Kühne Logistics University (KLU), in collabo...
JWST ruled out finding tiny moons around an exoplanet—that's great news
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has opened many wonders of the cosmos to scientists since it began science operations a few years ago. But one thing it ha...
Astronomers unmask a supernova impostor
A distant star has captured astronomers' attention over the past decade, teasing them with indications that it will soon explode as a supernova. But new researc...
AI helps microscopes find the most informative nanoscale features in a sample
Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed an artificial intelligence framework that helps researchers use at...
Masked tectonic structures suggest Mercury contracted 40% more than its visible scars alone indicate
The surface of Mercury is filled with craters, ridges and steep cliffs. Over billions of years, as the planet's interior cooled, the planet also shrank. Just as...
AI automates 3D membrane mapping, matching manual results in a fraction of time
Cell membranes and the proteins within them control many vital processes and play a key role in health and disease. But studying them in 3D images of cells has...
Luminescence dating pushes age of South Dakota's Mammoth Site back by more than 100,000 years
Deep within an ancient sinkhole lie the remains of dozens of mammoths, prehistoric wanderers who waded into the warm springs to their deaths. These deaths had l...
The tourism industry is slowly waking up to solo travelers' needs
Solo travel is surging—and an industry still largely built for two is taking note. Google reported in April 2026 that online searches involving "solo travel" hi...
Gravitational-wave analysis narrows the search for black hole impostors
