NASA astronaut Suni Williams has retired after 27 years of service and a career defined by endurance, leadership, and firsts in space. She spent 608 days in orbit, completed nine spacewalks, and twice ...

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting them with extreme lasers. By harnessing excitons, short-lived energy pairs ...

When quantum spins interact, they can produce collective behaviors that defy long-standing expectations. Researchers have now ...

The microbes living in sourdough starters don’t just appear by chance—they’re shaped by what bakers feed them. New research ...

A long-standing law of thermodynamics turns out to have a loophole at the smallest scales. Researchers have shown that quantum engines made of correlated particles can exceed the traditional ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small ...

New research suggests that consistent aerobic exercise can help keep your brain biologically younger. Adults who exercised regularly for a year showed brains that appeared nearly a year younger than ...

Researchers from New England Biolabs (NEB®) and Yale University describe the first fully synthetic bacteriophage engineering ...

Fungal infections are becoming deadlier as drug resistance spreads and treatment options stall. Researchers at McMaster University discovered that a molecule called butyrolactol A can dramatically ...

Epaulette sharks can reproduce without any measurable increase in energy use, stunning researchers who expected egg-laying to ...

New experiments reveal that protein precursors can form naturally in deep space under extreme cold and radiation. Scientists ...

Mountain regions around the world are heating up faster than the lands below them, triggering dramatic shifts in snow, rain, ...
