A seemingly small planetary neighbor may play a larger role in Earth’s climate than previously thought. Mars is only about half the size of Earth and has roughly one tenth of its mass, making it relatively small compared with many planets. Despite this, new research shows that the red planet subtly influences Earth’s orbit and […]
“We Found Something Never Seen Before” – Mysterious Shock Wave Around Dead Star Surprises Astronomers
A mysterious bow shock around the white dwarf RXJ0528+2838 is challenging astronomers’ understanding of how dead stars interact with their surroundings. Gas and dust streaming away from stars can sometimes collide with surrounding material and produce shock waves. Astronomers using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) have now captured an especially striking […]
Scientists Unveil Cheaper and Faster Way To Extract Lithium From Massive Untouched Reserves
A new solvent-based technique could change how lithium is extracted from brines, potentially making the process faster, cheaper, and viable in places where conventional methods fail. Few elements are as key to the clean energy transition as lithium, and global demand for it is soaring. The metal powers the rechargeable batteries inside electric vehicles and […]

Harvard Engineers Build Chip That Twists Light To Reveal Its Hidden “Handedness”
A twisted pair of photonic crystals integrated with MEMS can dynamically control the handedness of light on a chip. Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a chip scale device that can actively control the “handedness” of light as it moves through it, a property known […]
Physicists Reveal the Big Bang’s “Primordial Soup” Really Flowed Like a Liquid
Scientists studying particle collisions at CERN have captured new evidence of how quarks move through the early universe’s primordial plasma. In the first instants after the Big Bang, the universe was not filled with atoms, stars, or even protons. It was a searing, trillion-degree mix of quarks and gluons moving at nearly the speed of […]
Scientists Just Found a Hidden Oxygen Drain Inside Plant Cells
Scientists discovered that mitochondria inside plant cells can pull oxygen away from chloroplasts, revealing a hidden mechanism that may help plants adapt to stress. A team of scientists at the University of Helsinki has discovered a previously unknown interaction inside plant cells. Their research shows that mitochondria can draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts. This […]
