Scientists have discovered evidence that rivers may have operated on a global scale around 3.5 billion years ago, providing the earliest known chemical evidence for the weathering of Earth’s continents and the delivery of nutrients from land to ocean. This finding pushes back the emergence of continental landmasses by about a billion years, giving insight…

Physicists from the University of British Columbia have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of quantum physics, unveiling an anomalous Hall crystal that exhibits the quantum Hall effect without the need for an external magnetic field. The team, led by Josh Folk, observed the effect in a stack of bilayer and trilayer graphene twisted…
Scientists have discovered that the asteroid Bennu, which orbits between Earth and Mars, contains the building blocks of life, including organic compounds and amino acids. However, despite the presence of these ingredients, no signs of life were found on the asteroid. Researchers believe that the conditions on Bennu may not have been suitable for life…
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that cancer cells can poison attacking immune cells by filling them with defective mitochondria, helping the tumor to evade eradication. This phenomenon, where mitochondria migrate from one cell to another, challenges our understanding of cellular “ownership” of mitochondria. Further studies are needed to understand the frequency and benefits of…
Physicists Kaden Hazzard and Zhiyuan Wang have made a groundbreaking discovery in quantum mechanics, introducing a new class of quasiparticles called paraparticles. These particles exhibit unique properties that differ from familiar bosons and fermions, opening up new possibilities for understanding the quantum world. The researchers propose that paraparticles could manifest as quasiparticles in engineered quantum…
Researchers at the University of California Davis and Stanford University have made a groundbreaking discovery that could potentially store up to half of the CO2 generated by humans each year. By replacing conventional building materials with alternatives that sequester carbon dioxide, the world could lock away up to 16 billion tonnes of CO2. This innovative…
Researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of anti-aging, successfully reversing the aging process in mice by injecting them with an RNA molecule. The treatment targets cellular senescence, a hallmark of aging, and has shown promising results in restoring the mice’s physical and mental abilities. This breakthrough could potentially lead to the development…
Researchers at the University of Calgary have discovered mysterious ribbons of grayish white woven through the northern lights, which are not auroras themselves but may arise through a similar process to the one underlying the mauve light streak known as STEVE. The team found 30 white-laced auroras over Rabbit Lake and Lucky Lake in Saskatchewan…
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made a significant breakthrough in understanding the origins of fast radio bursts (FRBs). By analyzing the FRB 20221022A, they have found evidence that at least one of these cosmic phenomena originated from a region very close to the object that emitted it, challenging existing models of…
Scientists have finally solved the mystery of a giant pterosaur fossil found in Germany, which was initially thought to be a distinct species. After conducting a detailed analysis, researchers concluded that the fossil is actually a larger version of the Rhamphorhynchus species, which lived during the Jurassic Period. The study reveals how pterosaurs may have…
