An international team of mathematicians says they’ve proven we’re not living in a computer simulation. Their research combines quantum gravity with Gödel’s incompleteness theorem to argue reality requires non-algorithmic understanding.
Scientists using environmental DNA have discovered that our ocean maps are dramatically incomplete. The technology reveals species living far beyond their known ranges and surviving in conditions previously thought impossible, forcing a complete rethink of marine conservation.
A distant blazar 9.4 billion light-years away exhibits a precise 550-day gamma-ray pulse. This cosmic clockwork provides unprecedented insights into jet precession and emission mechanisms around supermassive black holes.
What do spider-inspired gloves, edible wolf apple coatings, and lab-grown mini-brains have in common? They’re all examples of how unsettling science is quietly revolutionizing healthcare and environmental protection. These innovations prove that sometimes the creepiest concepts lead to the most life
A groundbreaking study has measured atmospheric escape from six gas giants orbiting F-type stars, revealing which exoplanets are actively losing their atmospheres. The findings challenge assumptions about planetary evolution around these hotter, larger stars.
As space agencies plan Mars missions, new research reveals the hidden cardiovascular dangers astronauts face. Microgravity triggers profound physiological changes that could jeopardize long-duration space travel and reveal surprising insights about human health on Earth.
Researchers have proven the generalized quantum Stein’s lemma, resolving a longstanding open problem in quantum information theory. This breakthrough enables a “second law” for quantum resource theories, with profound implications for quantum computing and communication.
Researchers have demonstrated the first photoswitchable exceptional points in terahertz metasurfaces, enabling dynamic control of quantum states. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for high-sensitivity sensing and real-time wavefront manipulation using light.
Scientists have precisely calculated longitudinal magnetoconductivity for isolated Kramers-Weyl nodes in chiral crystals. The breakthrough reveals how these exotic topological materials exhibit unique linear-in-B dependence alongside conventional quadratic behavior, opening new avenues for quantum m
Scientists have discovered nitrogen-fixing bacteria thriving beneath Arctic sea ice, a phenomenon previously thought impossible. These microbes could dramatically alter marine food webs and carbon cycling as ice retreats, forcing revisions to climate models.
