Magnetic clues inside atomic nuclei help explain how elements form in stars
A scientific team led by Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, or FRIB, has identified the origin of a mysterious excess of low-energy gamma rays emitted by the nucl...
Community context shapes corporate response to violence in street protests
When violence takes place during street protests, how do corporate leaders respond? According to new research by Forrest Briscoe, professor of organizational be...
Why Europa's hidden ocean may be more difficult to reach than scientists thought
Europa, one of Jupiter's icy moons, has long fascinated scientists because of what may lie beneath its frozen shell: a global ocean of liquid water. That hidden...
Io's volcanic output offers a 40‑day forecast of plasma density in Jupiter's magnetosphere
A careful statistical comparison of observations recorded by NASA's Juno mission and the Planetary Science Institute's Io Input Output observatory (IoIO) shows...
Researchers develop AI-driven method to improve forecasts weeks in advance

Colorado prepares for screwworms, as the pest that was eradicated in 1966 returns to the US
New World screwworm, a concerning pest that mainly affects livestock and wildlife, was detected in South Texas in June 2026. It has since expanded northward in...
Why evolution never produced mammal teeth that slice and crush equally well
Evolution is all about trade-offs. Traits that may be beneficial in one situation may backfire in another. Over millions of years, species can become specialize...
UK in pole position to lead key instrument in NASA's hunt for Earth-like worlds
UK astronomers are a step closer to playing a leading role in NASA's search for alien life in the coming decades as they continue developing one of the core ins...
Wildfires: What can the UK and other nations learn from Australia's world‑leading fire response systems?
Wildfires are becoming a feature of the UK's hotter, drier climate. In July 2026, major fires swept through parts of the UK in a matter of days—notably setting...
Metal-ion coating improves extracellular vesicles for cancer detection and targeted delivery
Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, found a way to optimize how cells bind to small packages they release called extracellular vesicles....
Why you should think twice before rescuing a wild animal
Imagine you're driving down a winding road when you spot an injured possum. Your instincts might tell you to hit the brakes, check what's wrong and bundle it in...
Combining AI protein design with laboratory evolution improves engineered enzymes
When scientists want to create a protein that can potentially treat disease, one approach is to begin with a different protein and evolve it in the lab, selecti...
