Two strongly coupled superconducting states can disguise themselves as a single energy gap in ultrathin materials. Two ultrathin superconductors appeared to have a simple internal structure, but closer measurements revealed something more complex. Instead of relying on one superconducting state, each material contains two strongly coupled states whose combined behavior makes them look like a […]
Scientists Expose Hidden Quantum Identity of a Superconductor

Black Holes May Not Be the Bottomless Pits We Imagined
A black hole caught feeding on a nearby star kept spitting matter into space even after its outburst nearly faded away. Astronomers led by the University of Warwick have uncovered new details about how black holes consume and expel matter. Their observations suggest that even faint black holes are not simple bottomless pits. Instead, they […]
Beetroot Juice May Ease Pregnancy’s Strain on the Kidneys
Daily beetroot juice showed early signs of safely supporting pregnant women with chronic kidney disease. For a pregnant woman with chronic kidney disease (CKD), protecting her own kidneys can become harder just as her body is supporting a developing baby. Many kidney treatments are considered unsafe during pregnancy, often requiring medication to be paused for […]

Tick Found in Austin Apartment Linked to Rare Relapsing Fever
A likely urban case of soft tick-borne relapsing fever shows that infected ticks may be present inside Texas homes. While sitting inside an Austin apartment, a resident discovered an engorged tick attached to their ankle. Testing later connected the tick to a likely case of soft tick-borne relapsing fever (STRF), raising concerns that infected soft […]
Ozempic Changes Your Body, but Does It Change Your Life? A New Study Suggests Not
Research by a University of Chicago economist found no measurable changes in mood, employment, or marriage among people taking medications such as Ozempic. GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic can help people with Type 2 diabetes control blood sugar, lower cardiovascular risk, and, in many cases, lose substantial weight. Yet those medical gains raise another question: […]
Super-Deep Diamond Reveals How Water Travels to the Earth’s Interior
A stone analyzed at the Sirius particle accelerator supports the hypothesis that the mineral goethite can carry water from the planet’s surface into rocks in the lower mantle. A microscopic pocket sealed inside a diamond only 3 millimeters long may record how water travels from Earth’s surface into the planet’s deep interior. A Brazilian research […]
