Bizarre radio signals that defy physics detected under Antarctica: ‘It’s one of these long-standing mysteries’

Researchers detected mysterious radio waves in Antarctica that seem to defy the rules of particle physics. Now they're searching for a cause. The Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna experiment uses 24 antennas attached to a NASA balloon to study neutrinos.

Vera C Rubin Observatory reveals 1st stunning images of the cosmos. Scientists are ‘beyond excited about what’s coming’

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory has released its first images as it begins its 10-year mission conducting the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The LSST will revolutionize astronomy with one of its primary aims being the investigation of dark energy, the mysterious force driving the accelerating expansion of the universe, and dark matter, the strange substance that accounts for 85% of the

These eager beavers saved the Czech government $1.2 million

After plans stalled for a new dam in the Czech Republic, eight beavers saved the day seemingly overnight. “At this point, nothing that beavers do surprises me.” A beaver sits on the banks of the Elbe, a major river of Central Europe that flows from the Czech Republic through Germany to the North Sea. Beavers are famous for their abilities as ecosystem engineers, or animals that modify

Molecular Jackhammers Drill Pathway to Killing Cancer Cells   

The first-of-its-kind technique could offer a much safer and more effective alternative to current cancer treatments. Image: Rachel Barton/Texas A&M Engineering Just as jackhammers can penetrate concrete, molecular jackhammers (MJH) are nanoscopic machines capable of creating blows so strong that they can crack or rupture the cell membrane, decompensating and killing the

Study: Modest moss supports billions of tons of carbon storage

Plant life plays a crucial role in fighting climate change by absorbing and transforming greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide. For instance, over its lifetime, a tree can absorb more than a ton of carbon from the air and store it in wood and roots. The presence of mosses blanketing the soil is actually a positive indication rather than a negative one. Mosses play a crucial role in establishing
