CERN has forever changed the way we study the world around us. The graphics lab made learning impossible. And physicists at CERN have just discovered the “strange proton” disappearing as quickly as it appeared, disappearing in a moment. What effects will this have on science and the world in the years to come? CERN is … Read more
astronomers have discovered a third galaxy that does not contain dark matter, challenging conventional wisdom about the mysterious substance believed to hold galaxies together. Published in a new study available in pre-print on arXiv, this discovery of NGC 1052-DF9 adds weight to the strong theory of the “Bullet Dwarf” collision, which suggests that galaxies can … Read more
April 2nd is Autism Awareness Day, and ahead of the 2026 annual recognition, a group of scientists has been praised for a breakthrough in the field of genetics and autism risk. Over the past decade, researchers have been able to identify a series of rare genetic variants associated with an increased risk of autism and … Read more
Researchers have discovered a powerful genetic mechanism that may help explain how some species evolve at an astonishing rate. Some parts of the DNA, known as “flipped” parts, seem to help fish adapt to new conditions more quickly and even split into completely new species. These genetic components act as evolutionary accelerators, preserving traits and … Read more
While exploring a cave in central Texas, they unearthed a lost glacial ecosystem, including the remains of a giant tortoise and a lion-sized armadillo, among fossilized groundwater. In a study published on March 19 in the journal Quaternary Researchthe researchers say that the cave may contain the remains of animals that lived in a relatively … Read more
As water cools, its behavior becomes more surprising from a physics point of view, and researchers looking for an explanation have discovered something new: a previously hidden “point” that appears in supercooled water that doesn’t freeze. By varying pressure and temperature, scientists can keep liquid water below the normal ice surface. Previous studies have shown … Read more
Astronomers are discovering things that were once hidden inside some of the largest objects in the universe, known as galaxies. Using the powerful MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa, researchers have mapped the extinction, the scattering of radio emissions, a signal that reveals the energetic processes that occur in the large spaces between galaxies when … Read more
Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a very special type of black hole, thought to have formed from dense pockets of subatomic matter in the seconds after the Big Bang – and a new study reports what may be the first direct time. That may take years to prove, but the prospect is exciting. Black holes … Read more
