Two Simultaneous Papers Report Field Re-Entrant Superconductivity in Europium-Doped Nickelates, Defying the Pauli Limit
Independent teams publishing in Nature and Nature Communications show that doping infinite-layer nickelates with europium revives superconductivity at magnetic fields that should destroy it.
GSI Experiment Finds First Evidence of an Eta-Prime Mesic Nucleus, Probing the Origin of Mass
An international collaboration at GSI/FAIR in Germany reports the first experimental evidence that an eta-prime meson can be bound inside a carbon-11 nucleus, with data hinting that the meson loses mass in nuclear matter.
First Scientifically Accurate Skeleton of Deinosuchus schwimmeri Goes on Display in Georgia After 40-Year Hunt
The 31-foot Late Cretaceous dinosaur-eating crocodilian has been reconstructed in full for the first time using 3D scans of fossils collected over four decades, with the only mounted cast unveiled at the Tellus Science Museum.
Two Papers in Nature Materials Break the Strength-Ductility Ceiling for Martensitic Steel
Researchers from TU Delft, HKU, and SUSTech published separate Nature Materials studies showing that interface engineering and controlled lattice distortion can simultaneously boost strength past 3 GPa and preserve meaningful ductility in martensitic alloys.
Astronomers Discover a Planetary System Whose Orbits Are Visibly Changing in Real Time, a Phenomenon Never Before Observed
The TOI-201 system hosts a super-Earth, a warm Jupiter, and a record-setting brown dwarf whose gravitational interplay drives orbital shifts observable on human timescales — within 200 years its planets will stop transiting.
Aalto University Algorithm Solves 268-Million-Site Quasicrystal Simulation That Would Defeat Any Classical Supercomputer
A quantum-inspired tensor network method achieves exponential speedup on topological quasicrystals, opening a feedback loop between quantum materials and quantum computer design.
Novoselov Team Turns Arsenic Trisulfide Into a Photosensitive Clay, Sculpting 50,000-DPI Optics With a Single Continuous-Wave Laser
A PNAS paper from XPANCEO and Nobel laureate Konstantin Novoselov shows the van der Waals crystal As2S3 undergoes a refractive-index shift of 0.3 and expands up to 7% under ordinary light, enough to write 50,000-dpi patterns without lithography.
JWST Finds Unexpected Water-Ice Clouds on Epsilon Indi Ab, the Closest Directly Imaged Super-Jupiter
A new JWST MIRI observation of the 12-light-year-away exoplanet Epsilon Indi Ab shows less ammonia than models predict, pointing to thick water-ice cirrus clouds that current atmospheric models omit.
Muon g-2 Collaboration Wins 2026 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for 66-Year Quest to Weigh a Wobble
The $3 million prize recognizes three generations of experiments at CERN, Brookhaven, and Fermilab that measured the muon's magnetic moment to 127 parts per billion, sharpening a long-standing test of the Standard Model.
New MXene Synthesis Method Delivers 160-Fold Conductivity Jump, Opening Path to Next-Generation Electronics
German researchers used molten salts and iodine vapor to build atomically ordered MXenes, boosting conductivity 160x over conventional methods.
Zorevunersen's Dravet Data Puts SCN1A Gene Regulation Closer to the Clinic
Early-phase data in 81 children with Dravet syndrome showed large seizure reductions and manageable safety issues as a phase 3 trial moves ahead.
Monash's Disordered Mosaic Metasurface Packs Multiple Optical Functions Into One Flat Device
A Nature Communications study shows engineered disorder can let one metasurface handle broadband focusing and single-shot polarimetry.
