Fewer than one in five miles of rivers in the US possess sufficient legal safeguards to maintain their ecosystems’ vitality. The remainder? A regulatory gap.

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin believe there’s a missing link in that process. What if we could reconfigure sunlight prior to harvesting it? Their theoretical research, published in Physical Review A, suggests considering a […]

Envision a boulder measuring eight football fields in width, careening through the emptiness between Mars and Jupiter. Now visualize it completing a full spin every 112 seconds. According to what astronomers believed about asteroids, this object should have disintegrated millions of years ago. But it didn’t. This entity is known as 2025 MN45, and it’s […]

Most individuals possess a genetic variant that experts have traditionally regarded as benign. According to a comprehensive new study, this belief may have been a significant error. Researchers from University College London and the University of Eastern Finland now suggest that between 72% and 93% of Alzheimer’s disease cases would not materialize without the impact […]
