An unexpected shape formed when a graduate student accidentally blended oil, water and nickel. Scientists discovered that the shape-recovering liquid defied the laws of thermodynamics. Instead of minimising the interfacial…
A recent study proposes that the wheel, one of the most transformative inventions in human history, could have first been developed by copper miners in the Carpathian Mountains around 6,000…
A study has now given us a glimpse into the genetics of modern roses, revealing how human intervention shaped their development over time. Roses have been cherished for centuries as…
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have made a major discovery by creating animal cells that can draw energy from sunlight. This achievement was made possible by embedding chloroplasts, photosynthetic…
The moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, could have formed from the remnants of an asteroid that was destroyed by the planet's gravitational forces. Researchers from NASA and Durham University…
Astronomers have been perplexed by the existence of supermassive black holes detected during the universe's earliest phases, just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. Recent findings, as…
New research suggests that supernovas, resulting from the explosive deaths of the earliest stars in the universe, may have created vast amounts of water, possibly enabling the existence of life…
