A new material barely lets heat through yet is up to 10,000 times stiffer than the silicone used in oven mitts. Researchers at North Carolina State University have engineered a thin film that combines exceptional stiffness with extreme thermal insulation. Its thermal conductivity ranks among the lowest reported for a dense, nonporous material, approaching the […]
James Webb Telescope Detects the Fingerprints of Catastrophic Planetary Collisions
Dust around distant stars may reveal whether colliding worlds grazed one another or hit hard enough to vaporize rock. Vaporizing vast amounts of solid rock, a Mars-sized world called Theia may have slammed into the infant Earth, blasting debris into space that eventually gathered into the Moon. Astronomers searching for similar collisions around distant stars […]
Aging Cells May Be Hiding From the Immune System – Scientists Think They Know How
Your immune system is supposed to clear out damaged cells. Researchers may have found how some of them hide and linger as the body ages. Researchers led by Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University have identified PD-L2 as a protein that may help damaged cells escape immune removal. In the study, published in Cell Metabolism, blocking PD-L2 […]

Night Owls Were 70% More Likely To Leave Work on Disability, 12-Year Study Finds
Night owls faced a 70% higher risk of receiving a disability pension than morning people in a Finnish study that tracked adults for 12 years.

Cobalt Catalyst Delivers 99% Yield Without Expensive Precious Metals
A cobalt catalyst may offer a more sustainable route to valuable chemical transformations when its oxidation state is carefully controlled. A cobalt catalyst made from an abundant metal converted more than 99% of pyridine into the desired chemical product under ambient electrolysis conditions, according to researchers at Yokohama National University. Its performance depended not just […]
