The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can figure out how to harness them.
The findings could help answer a longstanding question about how Mars transformed from a potentially habitable world with rivers and lakes into the frozen desert we see today.

Scientists have detected crystalline water ice around a young, sun-like star for the very first time, revealing surprising details about planet formation.
Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings occurs between two orbiting black holes, formed after their massive progenitor stars exploded in supernova blasts. If these black holes…
The first observations of Pluto by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal dramatic phenomena on its surface, like seasonal cycles of volatile ice redistribution across its surface, and material being pulled from its very atmosphere onto its main sate…
Graphite, long thought mundane, hides a shocking secret — it can become a superconducting magnet when cooled and configured just right. This breaks fundamental assumptions in physics.
A team led by China University of Geosciences has described a new species of sauropod, Jinchuanloong niedu, from a partial skeleton and nearly complete skull found in northwestern China, adding a rare non-neosauropod eusauropod to the Middle Jurassic record o…
"Are we alone?" This ancient question has occupied humanity's mind for a long time. In 1995, the discovery of the first exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star opened the door to exploring this profound mystery.
A new quantum material developed at Rice University combines unique symmetry-driven properties with superconductivity. A team of physicists from Rice University, led by Ming Yi and Emilia Morosan, has created a groundbreaking new material that could power the…
