A 29-year-old researcher from India discovered a 12.6-billion-year-old galaxy supercluster and named it after Loktak Lake in his home state of Manipur. The cosmic structure offers new insights into how galaxies formed in the early universe.
Scientists are using AI to eliminate paperwork burdens and accelerate discoveries, from mapping the night sky to protecting hospital patients. The technology is turning years of research into months while making advanced tools available to everyone.
Astronomers discovered a powerful cosmic explosion coming from a tiny, hidden galaxy nestled inside an ancient stream of gas and dust. The collision of two neutron stars inside this mini-galaxy could solve mysteries about where precious metals like gold and platinum come from.
Scientists found the remains of an ancient dwarf galaxy buried inside our own Milky Way, consumed billions of years ago. The discovery reveals new clues about how galaxies grow and evolve over time.
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.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of a galaxy nicknamed the "cosmic jellyfish" that existed 8.5 billion years ago. The discovery is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies evolved in the early universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope spotted the most distant jellyfish galaxy ever seen, revealing that the early universe was far more violent and dynamic than scientists expected. The discovery shows galaxies were being dramatically reshaped 8.5 billion years ago.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered an unexpectedly rich mix of carbon molecules in a distant galaxy's dusty core, including a highly reactive compound never before seen outside the Milky Way. The finding reveals that hidden galaxy centers are chemically alive, constantly breaking down and rebuilding carbon in ways scientists hadn't predicted.
The James Webb Space Telescope just revealed a spiral galaxy whose light began its journey to Earth right after dinosaurs went extinct. Scientists are using this remarkably clear view to unlock secrets about how galaxies evolve across billions of years.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered a 2-billion-year-old galaxy that isn't rotating, a behavior scientists only expect in much older galaxies. The finding challenges our understanding of how early galaxies formed and evolved.
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.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered powerful "galaxy-killing" winds that blow away the gas needed to form new stars, finally explaining why so many massive galaxies in the early universe died young. The finding shows how rapidly growing galaxies essentially destroyed themselves.
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.
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.
Scientists discovered three dwarf galaxies dancing together in a rare gravitational trio near the Andromeda Galaxy, revealing new secrets about how small galaxies survive in cosmic neighborhoods. The finding shows that even in the vast universe, companions stick together.
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.
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.
Scientists using powerful telescopes discovered 70 ancient galaxies that formed earlier than our models say should be possible. These cosmic time capsules could rewrite the story of how stars and galaxies came to be.
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.
