Researchers have observed a molecule in the first instants after it has absorbed light and tracked the coordinated motion of electrons and nuclei with a temporal resolution of three femtoseconds. This is the result achieved by an international research group led by the Politecnico di Milano, whi...
From photos and videos to documents, vast amounts of data are stored on hard drives in large data centers. These devices use tiny magnetic regions whose orientation determines the information stored. But how could data be stored even faster in the future?
When a major company's CEO goes through a messy divorce or is arrested for drunk driving, investors often get nervous, worried that the executive's personal struggles will dent their returns. But most people hardly notice when a chief marketing officer has similar personal problems.
What, exactly, is a plant made of? Scientists have a good understanding of the essential nutrients plants need to grow. But what plants need and what they contain are not necessarily the same.
Bedsure’s Amazon sale has heated throws, sherpa blankets, and wearable blankets that cost much less to run than a space heater. The post I’m buying this heated blanket for 40% off at Amazon and resisting the urge to turn on my heat before November appeared first on Popular Science .
A joint research team fabricated a two-dimensional structure that exhibits properties of both the honeycomb and Kagome lattices using organic molecules. They discovered that edge states specific to topological materials (states that exist only at the edges and are distinct from those in the inte...
On Jan. 3, 1117, a strong earthquake shook northern Italy. A manuscript of the 12th century, kept today in the Vatican Library, recorded what came next: "The lakes also rose so much that very few of those living in the villages nearby escaped this danger.
The full-scale prototype of Europe's Space Rider orbiter failed to deploy its parachute during a drop test earlier this month, but ESA officials hope the setback won't delay progress toward its first reusable spacecraft.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain across most of central and eastern Scotland on Friday.
Microgreens are nutritional powerhouses. A team of plant scientists at Penn State conducting research on multiple aspects of microgreens recently published three studies reporting progress on multiple fronts, including iron enrichment, productive indoor growth and a faux lightning technique that...
New research started with a special material that behaves unusually when it's extremely cold—135 degrees below zero Fahrenheit (minus 93 degrees Celsius), close to the most frigid temperature ever recorded in Antarctica—and showed that the unusual behavior could be extended to well above room tem...
New research is shedding light on the diversity of deep-sea siphonophores. A team of scientists from MBARI, the University of Gdańsk, New York University and Yale University conducted a comprehensive examination of Bargmannia siphonophores using museum material, submersible observations and geno...
The Prince of Wales was marking his Earthshot Prize, to which all of Norton's guests were linked.
Natural disasters. Hikes. Long, dark nights alone.
The presence of non-native trees is often seen as an obstacle to the recovery of tropical forests regrowing in previously deforested areas. To better understand the behavior of these plants over time in both humid and dry forests, researchers from approximately 60 institutions analyzed data from...

You've likely heard this assumption: When AI-enabled and autonomous machines arrive on the farm, jobs will disappear. But researchers at the University of California, Davis, who studied 16 fruit tree operations in California and Washington for three years, found that automation still takes human...
On Oct. 22, 1992, the space shuttle Columbia launched into space with the ashes of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of "Star Trek. " Here's why it mattered.
An educational program intended to improve maternal and child health fundamentally altered the social fabric of the rural Honduran villages where it was implemented, a new Yale-led study finds. The findings, researchers say, have implications for interventions anywhere that seek to improve peopl...
More frequent spanking is linked to greater anxiety and aggression in children over time, according to international research that includes Filipino families presented by psychology professor Dr. Liane Peña Alampay of the Ateneo de Manila University. The findings challenge the familiar belief t...
The EU Nature Restoration Regulation adopted in 2024 establishes the restoration of ecosystem functions as an objective of stream restoration. But can conventional measures that focus primarily on restoring the physical structure of rivers and streams fulfill this task?
A polymer science revelation about how liquid mixtures separate could have major implications for human health, metabolism and disease, new research indicates. In a brief report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular E...
With a stroke of a pen, President Donald Trump has officially created the United States' 64th national park.
Carrion crows made decisions about their visual environments significantly faster than humans and primates tend to, according to a comparison in a new study.
