‘World’s fastest’ microscope captures electron motion in striking detail
The researchers generated a single attosecond electron pulse to capture an electron in a fixed state, matching the speed at which electrons move.
Humpback whales create ‘bubble nets’ to catch more prey in single dive
Humpback whales are not simply hunting for food; they create sophisticated tools.
Heaviest antimatter nucleus unveiled in atom smasher experiment milestone
The scientists utilized a massive, house-sized particle detector to identify the unique decay products of antihyperhydrogen-4: antihelium-4 and a positively charged pion.
Salsa hack: 50% recycled glass mix boosts cilantro, pepper, jalapeño plant growth
Preliminary results suggest that recycled glass not only accelerates plant growth but also prevents fungal growth.
‘Orgasm in color’: Rare condition paints man’s pleasure pink after sex
Synesthesia is a neurological phenomenon where senses that are typically separate become intertwined.
This clever spider uses captured firefly signals to lure and trap its next meal
A new study shows how spiders exploit firefly communication, using mimicry to lure male fireflies into their webs.
World’s oldest penis: 425-million-year-old crab fossil reveals ancient sex secrets
The oldest penis on record belongs to a 1 long 425 million-year-old crustacean known as an ostracod.
Next-gen nuclear clocks that are 10x more accurate developed using lasers
Nuclear clocks are 10 times more accurate than optical atomic clocks which shows potential for unraveling dark matter.
Brain creates multiple copies of single memory for robust storage
The brain stores memories for varying lengths of time, modifies them to different extents, and may sometimes erase them.
New states of matter unveiled in ‘first time’ quantum flatland discovery
This development was observed under extreme conditions of near absolute zero temperatures (-459°F or -273°C) and intense magnetic fields nearly 100,000 times stronger than Earth’s.
Ultra-cool quantum breakthrough achieved in a 1st can transform aircraft navigation
For the first time, ultra-cool quantum sensors used in space can contribute to the development of better and more accurate navigation technologies.
Magnetic monopoles exist? CERN’s Large Hadron Collider pipe comes close to finding out
Despite being an old piece of pipe destined for disposal, the researchers’ predictions suggested it might be the most promising place on Earth to find a magnetic monopole.
Paired electron ‘dance’ can help create room-temperature superconductors
Unexpectedly, the phenomenon was observed in an antiferromagnetic insulator, a material where such behavior was considered highly improbable.
Threat: Arctic permafrost melting emits harmful mercury in Alaska’s Yukon River
Arctic permafrost melting due to climate change releases mercury sequestered for millennia into Alaska’s Yukon River, endangering a vital freshwater source.
Space bar: Faster brewed, better-tasting beer possible in microgravity
When placed in microgravity, yeast behaves differently and ferment faster.
