Science & Research

Researchers combine amplitude, phase, and polarization in a single holographic data page, using a neural network to decode all three channels from intensity-only measurements.

A University of Bath researcher used the Lean 4 theorem prover to formalize a 2006 particle physics paper and discovered its central stability theorem is false, marking the first time formal verification has uncovered a substantive error in published physics research.

University of Utah geophysicists have discovered a vast freshwater system saturating sediments beneath the shrinking Great Salt Lake, potentially spanning its entire 1,500-square-mile footprint.

Researchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute transplanted synthetic genomes into chemically killed bacteria, producing 'zombie cells' that resumed normal growth and division.

Using the upgraded GRAVITY+ instrument on the ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer, researchers have directly detected a second protoplanet forming in the disk around the young star WISPIT 2, located 437 light-years from Earth.

Back-to-back results at Moriond 2026 confirm the most massive bound state ever observed and resolve a two-decade search for the doubly charmed baryon.

Stockholm University physicists used ultra-fast X-ray pulses to confirm a second critical point in supercooled water at -63 degrees Celsius and 1,000 atmospheres, explaining why water behaves unlike any other liquid.

The BASE experiment at CERN successfully moved 92 antiprotons in a portable cryogenic trap across the laboratory's campus, demonstrating that antimatter can survive road transport and paving the way for precision measurements at facilities across Europe.

Kyushu University and JGU Mainz researchers use a molybdenum-based spin-flip emitter to surpass the one-photon-one-electron limit, reaching 130% quantum yield with a theoretical ceiling of 200%.

The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has activated its real-time astronomical alert pipeline, flagging 800,000 transient objects on its first operational night and setting the stage for a decade-long survey expected to catalog more objects than every previous optical telescope combined.

Spinosaurus mirabilis, the first new spinosaurid species in over a century, has been identified from fossils in Niger's Sahara, challenging the view that these predators were coastal.

A team led by North Carolina State University has demonstrated that magnetizing patterned elastic polymer sheets turns their chaotic snapping behavior into repeatable, sequential unfolding, boosting kinetic energy absorption by 30 percent.
