Researchers discovered a bizarre new type of crystal in the radioactive glass created by the world's first atomic bomb test in 1945. The find shows how extreme events create materials that don't exist anywhere else in nature.
Researchers have discovered a new form of matter made from spinning components that can twist, break apart, and reassemble on their own. These strange crystals could lead to breakthrough materials and technologies.
A breakthrough technique lets researchers study microscopic crystals that were previously impossible to analyze, opening doors for faster drug discovery and advanced materials. By combining data from thousands of tiny crystals instead of needing one perfect specimen, scientists can now unlock the atomic secrets of countless substances.
Scientists discovered a crystal inside debris from the first nuclear bomb that shouldn't exist in nature. The 1945 Trinity test created atomic arrangements so rare that labs can barely reproduce them today.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Indian researchers discovered molecular crystals that automatically repair deep cracks in less than a hundredth of a second, no heat or chemicals required. This breakthrough could revolutionize electronics by making devices that fix themselves.
Researchers discovered that malaria parasites contain tiny spinning crystals powered by the same chemical reaction used in rocket engines. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments and inspire advances in microscopic robotics.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Chinese scientists just cracked a decades-old puzzle in laser technology, creating safer, more powerful crystals that could revolutionize everything from medical diagnostics to computer chip manufacturing. The breakthrough solves problems that have stumped researchers for years.
Researchers developed a new way to sculpt 3D electronic devices from single crystals, creating tiny twisted structures that control electricity in both directions. The breakthrough could lead to smaller, more efficient electronics that use shape itself as a design tool.
Scientists discovered microscopic crystals in Australian beach sand that contain trapped space signals, creating a natural cosmic clock millions of years old. This breakthrough lets researchers study ancient landscapes far beyond what was previously possible.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
Scientists at New York University have created time crystals you can see with your naked eye, suspended in mid-air by sound waves on a device small enough to hold in your hand. This breakthrough makes exotic quantum physics accessible and could revolutionize computing and data storage.
Physicists at New York University have created time crystals you can hold in your hand—made from styrofoam beads that float on sound waves and defy Newton's laws of motion. This breakthrough could unlock insights into everything from heart pacemakers to financial markets.
Physicists at NYU built a handheld device using foam beads and sound waves that breaks Newton's Third Law and could unlock secrets of quantum computing and human biology. The exotic time crystal fits in your palm and uses technology as simple as packing peanuts floating on acoustic waves.
