A plasma antenna resembling a lightsaber has transmitted radio waves and could let future spacecraft retune and redirect their antennas by adjusting a laser. Changing a radio antenna’s length can be difficult in space exploration equipment, even though that dimension helps determine which frequencies it can transmit and receive. Researchers have now demonstrated a possible […]

A world with no sunrise still has changing skies, and Webb has caught its water clouds thickening and thinning just 7.5 light-years away. Astronomers have tracked weather on WISE 0855, the coldest known brown dwarf, using the James Webb Space Telescope. A team led by Brittany Miles of the University of Arizona’s Steward Observatory watched […]

Vanillin could help form wound-care materials while supplying antibacterial activity, a combination made more practical by its low-cost and abundant supply. The compound behind vanilla’s sweet aroma could become an ingredient in wound-care materials. A team from Flinders University’s Biomedical Nanoengineering Laboratory has found that vanillin has pronounced antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, making it […]

A small ear stimulation device could offer a new way to tackle high blood pressure that stays elevated despite medication. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have tested a device that stimulates nerves through the ear in people whose high blood pressure remained uncontrolled despite medication. The trial, published in the American Heart Association […]

Nature may have fewer backup plans than we thought, leaving our food supply and climate more exposed when species disappear. The largest global study of its kind suggests that losing species can steadily erode the benefits ecosystems provide, including pollination, clean water, carbon storage, and natural pest control. Led by King’s College London and Imperial […]
