Researchers used advanced X-ray techniques to capture the first molecular-level images of how water reorganizes during proton-coupled electron transfer reactions, fundamental processes in photosynthesis and energy conversion.
Rising sea temperatures are reducing the interval between intense heat waves, leaving coral reefs insufficient time to recover between bleaching events, according to new research.
South African researchers engaged Indigenous San communities in dialogue between historical astronomical archives, local memory, and modern science during SKA telescope construction, revealing how traditional knowledge evolves while maintaining cultural continuity.
Two decades after the IAU reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006, scientists and advocates remain divided on whether the decision was a mistake, with debates centering on flawed definitions and the discovery of similar celestial bodies.
IXPE observations of magnetar 1E 1547.0−5408 provide the strongest evidence yet that intense magnetic fields can alter light polarization in empty space, supporting a 1936 quantum prediction, though competing analyses show the result remains model-dependent.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched Sunday aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket to study dark energy, exoplanets, and galaxies from the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2 over five years.
Astronomers using satellites and telescopes detected polarized X-rays from a distant magnetar, providing near-confirmation of a 1930s quantum physics prediction that empty space behaves like a crystal under extreme magnetic fields.
Scientists have discovered why constipation is prevalent among astronauts in microgravity, revealing a previously misunderstood health challenge of space travel.
