A University of Washington team identifies signs of a catastrophic planetary collision around star Gaia20ehk, offering the first real-time analog of the giant impact that created Earth's Moon 4.5 billion years ago.
The ACES survey stitched together ALMA's biggest mosaic to date, revealing dozens of molecules and intricate gas filaments across the galaxy's Central Molecular Zone.
James Webb Space Telescope identifies galaxy COSMOS2020-635829 at redshift z=1.156, the most distant jellyfish galaxy known, revealing cluster environments were stripping galaxies far earlier than models predicted.
A team using the Hobby-Eberly Telescope processed 600 million spectra to build the first large-scale intensity map of Lyman-alpha emissions from 9 to 11 billion years ago, exposing faint galaxies and intergalactic gas invisible to conventional surveys.
A Spanish research team synthesized the hormone therapy drug dimestrol directly from methane using an iron-based photocatalyst, opening a path to converting natural gas into high-value medicines.
ETH Zurich and University of Basel researchers permanently reversed a ferromagnet's polarity using only laser light in twisted bilayer molybdenum ditelluride, published in Nature.
South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope has discovered a record-breaking hydroxyl gigamaser in a merging galaxy system, shattering the previous distance record by a factor of two.
The PRIMA wireless retinal implant restored reading ability in 81 percent of blind AMD patients in a landmark NEJM trial — the first device to restore true form vision.
CATL and BYD are mass-producing sodium-ion batteries for EVs and grid storage in 2026, driven by soaring lithium prices and abundant raw materials, while the West struggles to keep pace.
Researchers at Delft and CSIC Madrid have demonstrated single-shot parity readout of Majorana qubits in Nature, solving a decades-long measurement problem.
Helion, Commonwealth Fusion Systems, and China's EAST reactor have each cleared critical technical barriers in early 2026, collectively marking the most concentrated period of fusion progress in the industry's history.
Six months of observations of the third interstellar object ever detected have uncovered water, methane, and hydrogen cyanide in its coma--and a Jupiter flyby on March 16 could yield the closest-ever look at an interstellar visitor.
