Living in space can have a lasting effect on how the brain works, researchers have found. Astronauts must learn how to live without gravity in space, whether they’re aboard the International Space Station (ISS) or on a trip to the moon, such as on NASA’s Artemis 2 mission. Space adventurers experience a microgravity environment beyond … Read more
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) warned on Sunday that “something sinister may be afoot” after 11 scientists, mostly associated with the U.S. nuclear and space research programs, were reported to have died or disappeared under mysterious circumstances, raising urgent national security concerns.

Researchers in the United States have proposed an entirely new type of laser that emits neutrinos rather than light. The concept, introduced by researchers at MIT and collaborating institutions, could fundamentally change the way scientists study the universe’s most mysterious particles. Neutrinos are sometimes called “ghost particles” because their interaction with matter is incredibly weak. … Read more
Researchers have detected pairs of particles emerging directly from vacuum during collisions of high-energy protons, providing the clearest evidence yet that mass can originate from empty space. This discovery reconfigures where much of the weight of ordinary matter comes from, pointing to space itself as an active source rather than a passive background. collision inside … Read more
Waves are one of the most well-known features. earth’s oceansshaped by wind, gravity, and the properties of water itself. But outside of Earth, the oceans may be made of methane, gravity may pull with a different force, and the same waves may behave in ways that challenge everything scientists expect. New research published in Geophysical … Read more
hubble tensionA stubborn contradiction between two methods of measuring the rate of expansion of the universe has long plagued modern physics. Some scientists had hoped that it would eventually resolve itself to measurement error. New findings suggest otherwise. To understand what’s at stake, we need to step back a little. In the 1920s, astronomer Edwin … Read more
The warty comb jelly is not your typical sea dweller. They can also regrow lost body parts, reproduce from the larval stage, and fuse their bodies with other comb jellies to survive injuries. They also do not have a permanent excretory opening and only form when absolutely necessary. But these characteristics, unusual as they are, … Read more
