Professor Kim Myeong-sik just became the first Korean to win the prestigious Joseph Thomson Medal for quantum physics. His message to South Korea: you're not too late to lead the quantum revolution.
Scientists discovered that Tyrannosaurus rex had body temperatures matching humans, proving these ancient giants were fast, active predators. A breakthrough tooth analysis technique finally solved a mystery that's puzzled researchers for decades.
Ancient bones thought to be Ireland's earliest domestic cattle turned out to be bear and wild boar, rewriting 30 years of farming history. The discovery shows how new science can solve old mysteries and bring clarity to our past.
A puzzle that stumped physicists for three decades just got solved, and it turns out those "missing" neutrinos were never missing at all. New research shows the gallium anomaly was based on a measurement misunderstanding, not mysterious new physics.
America just launched an ambitious race to create the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer powerful enough to solve scientific problems that today's supercomputers can't touch. The Quantum Genesis initiative aims to unlock discoveries in medicine, energy, and materials by 2028.
Scientists just tested the world's first full-ocean-depth electromagnetic survey robot at nearly 8,000 meters deep in the Pacific Ocean. The breakthrough opens new possibilities for understanding Earth's deepest secrets and could revolutionize ocean floor research.
After a decade of painstaking work, a scientist finally revealed his hidden gravity measurements at a conference in Colorado. The dramatic moment brought both relief and a puzzle that could reshape our understanding of the universe.
A European research team has drilled 2.8 kilometers deep into Antarctic ice to extract the longest continuous climate record ever recovered. The data could finally solve a million-year-old mystery about why Earth's ice ages suddenly changed pattern.
South Korean researchers taught AI to admit when it doesn't know something, mimicking how human brains develop. This breakthrough could make chatbots safer for medicine and self-driving cars.
Researchers at MIT have solved a dangerous problem in AI: models that sound confident even when they're guessing. Their breakthrough helps AI admit uncertainty, making it safer for use in medicine, finance, and law.
Scientists discovered their protective gloves were accidentally adding thousands of false plastic particles to pollution research. A chemistry team created new methods to fix contaminated data and help researchers avoid the mistake going forward.
Researchers flew directly behind a commercial airliner at 30,000 feet to study contrails and discovered cleaner jet engines can actually reduce these climate-warming clouds. The breakthrough could help airlines shrink their environmental footprint without grounding flights.
