Oxford chemists have finally stabilized a 48-atom carbon ring, creating a rare new allotrope that holds together in liquid at room temperature — a feat once thought impossible.

After more than 30 years, physicists in Finland have uncovered the heaviest nucleus ever seen to emit a proton, a rare process that sheds light on the limits of atomic matter. The discovery of 188-ast ...

Scientists have built an AI that instantly finds safe spots inside fusion reactors, a breakthrough that could speed up the arrival of clean fusion energy.

Great white sharks hold a baffling genetic puzzle: uniform nuclear DNA but divided mitochondrial DNA that defies migration and evolution theories. White sharks show a striking mismatch between the DNA ...

As carbon dioxide continues to rise in Earth's upper atmosphere, the way solar storms interact with it may shift dramatically. New modeling suggests that future geomagnetic storms will occur in a ...

Researchers at Bielefeld University and the University of Warwick monitored the daily behavior and mood of young adults over a four-week period. People who drink caffeine regularly tend to feel a ...

A large clinical trial suggests vitamin D may slow biological aging by preserving telomeres. Findings from the VITAL randomized controlled trial show that vitamin D supplementation can help preserve ...

Your brain’s own “border patrol” may be fueling Alzheimer’s and stroke, thanks to hidden genetic activity in immune and blood vessel cells.

Intercrystals” could pave the way toward greener electronics and next-generation quantum technologies. Scientists at-New Brunswick have identified a new type of material known as intercrystals, which ...

Scientists have discovered a solution to the “damped quantum harmonic oscillator,” paving the way for what could become the world’s tiniest measuring device. A plucked guitar string rings for a few ...
