Discovery and exploration: space missions and astronomy, physics and biology, new research findings, and what scientists are learning about the world and beyond.
Computer simulations from IISc researchers suggest strong magnetic fields could let white dwarfs reach about 2.4 solar masses, far above the long-standing 1.4 solar mass limit.
The LHCb Collaboration at CERN reported 3.2-sigma evidence of an ultra-rare Bd meson decay into a muon and anti-muon, consistent with the Standard Model, in an unreviewed preprint.
Samsung's Galaxy S27 (SM-S952B/DS) passed India's Bureau of Indian Standards certification, the first S27 model to clear it, though the listing reveals no specs.
The LHCb Collaboration reports evidence of an extremely rare Bd meson decay into a muon and antimuon, at 3.2 sigma. The unpeer-reviewed preprint is consistent with the Standard Model.
A review of Jabra's Evolve3 65 Flex, a foldable Bluetooth headset with built-in mics, improved battery life and repairability, judged a solid upgrade over its predecessor.
CrowdStrike research finds 91% of vulnerabilities with public proof-of-concept code are exploited within 48 hours, with the fastest observed case taking 35 minutes.
A News-Medical explainer reviews the Galveston Diet's components (intermittent fasting, anti-inflammatory eating, macronutrient tracking) and finds supporting research for related strategies but no trial of the full program.
A lab study found the salt-loving archaeon Haloferax volcanii grew in simulated Martian subsurface brine at low pressure, using nitrate or perchlorate. The authors stress this does not mean life exists on Mars.
A News-Medical review argues food literacy bridges nutrition knowledge and everyday eating, but evidence that improving it yields lasting dietary or health gains remains limited.
Chinese scientists aboard the Mengtian module cooled rubidium atoms to 9.7 picokelvin, a reported record, using microgravity to allow longer observation of quantum behavior.
Experts explain that biology, including evening peaks in appetite and the brain's reward system, drives late-night snacking, and that habit changes and healthier defaults can help.
Researchers say appetite naturally peaks in the evening, driven by hormones and reward signals, making late snacking common. Experts advise changing habits rather than banning snacks entirely.
An international team including researchers from Germany, Thailand, India, China and the US built a tunable three-component Hubbard system with ultracold atoms, published in Science.
Experts explain that appetite and reward-driven cravings peak in the evening, making late snacking common, and suggest portioned treats and healthier defaults rather than total bans.
An international team led by Leiden University used LOFAR to produce the sharpest, most sensitive low-frequency radio image yet, revealing nearly 63,000 radio sources across ELAIS-N1.
NASA's 22-year-old Swift observatory burned up over North Sumatra, Indonesia, after its rescue mission failed. The space agency reported no damage or injuries on the ground.
Researchers from HHU Düsseldorf, ELI Beamlines and Strathclyde show in simulations that compact laser-plasma accelerators could produce bright soft X-rays for biological imaging.
Genetic analysis of Zygnematophyceae, the closest algal relatives of land plants, suggests multicellular growth evolved independently several times rather than through a single transition.
EPFL researchers pair two DNA aptamers so the second recognizes the shape of the first when bound to a small molecule, enabling a visible lateral flow test for serotonin.
B612's ADAM cloud platform recovered a decade of archived images of 2026 ED138, extending its orbital record to 3,789 days and supporting its candidacy as a large new dwarf planet.
ExoMars TGO detected hydrogen chloride above Alba Mons fissures, suggesting Mars may still release volcanic gases and retain internal heat that could support dormant volcanism.
Spacewalking astronauts finished installing next-generation solar arrays on the International Space Station, completing a multi-year power upgrade. NASA's 101st ISS spacewalk aimed to boost station power by about 30%.
NASA is inviting the public to submit their names to ride aboard its Dragonfly rotorcraft mission heading to Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
Medef, Les Entrepreneurs et U2P organiseront le 8 mars 2027 au Grand Rex une audition commune des candidats à la présidentielle sur leurs programmes économiques.
