Scientists have demonstrated that light alone can reversibly control magnetism in a topological material. Researchers at the ...

Physicists have observed a strange new quantum phase in a graphene-based system, where a superfluid appears to freeze into a solid-like state. Cooling usually pushes matter through a simple sequence.

Astronomers at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR), working with international collaborators, have made a striking discovery involving a previously unknown type of cosmic ...

Baby sauropods were the fast food of the Late Jurassic, feeding multiple predators and propping up the entire ecosystem. Their vulnerability may even explain why later giants like T. rex evolved to ...

These “walking sharks” can lay eggs without spending extra energy, rewriting what scientists thought they knew about reproduction.

Scientists have discovered an enzyme that drives fat production and shown that blocking it prevents weight gain and lowers cholesterol in mice. Obesity is now one of the most widespread health ...

Termites became social powerhouses by stripping away genes tied to competition and independence. This genetic shedding locked in monogamy, boosted cooperation, and paved the way for their ...

The inclusions are so faint in the unpolished amber that Goethe, despite his interest in observing nature, likely never realized he had insects preserved inside what amount to biological time capsules ...
