The magnets powering electric cars and wind turbines come with a hidden environmental cost. Swedish researchers are working on a cleaner alternative. The global transition to clean energy depends on a handful of materials that most people never see. Rare earth magnets power everything from electric vehicles and offshore wind turbines to smartphones and advanced […]

The Milky Way’s Black Hole Isn’t Tearing Everything Apart – New Observations Reveal a Surprise
New observations show that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way does not consume nearby dust objects as previously thought. Near the heart of the Milky Way, where the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* bends nearby space with immense gravity, astronomers have been watching several strange dusty objects for signs of […]
Building the Brain Requires Millions of Dangerous DNA Breaks
Scientists discovered that building a healthy brain involves an unexpected step: young neurons routinely break and rapidly repair their own DNA. As the brain develops, newly formed nerve cells must travel through tightly packed tissue to reach the locations where they will become part of the brain’s neural networks. That demanding journey turns out to […]
