Uranus, Neptune may be magma worlds, not ice giants

Uranus and Neptune remain two of the most mysterious objects in the solar system, primarily because they have been visited only by NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986 and 1989, respectively. Their "ice giant" moniker comes from longstanding hypotheses that their interiors are com

Non-Hermitian geometry reveals when quantum amplification depends only on start and end po

In quantum mechanics, the geometry of quantum states has emerged as a powerful framework for understanding phenomena ranging from electrical conductivity to superconductivity. One research direction aims to extend these geometric concepts to non-Hermitian quantum mechanics—where

How everyone pays the cost for patents on seeds, and private companies get rich from keepi

The United States is one of only a handful of countries that allows companies to hold patents on plant varieties. As a result, a small number of corporations can—and do—suppress competition in the seed industry, stifle innovation, and turn taxpayer subsidies intended for farmers

When the rapid adaptation of sales channels pays off

Greater agility in the sales system—that is, a company's ability to rapidly adapt its sales channels to changing market conditions—is associated with higher operating profit, but only under certain conditions. That is the result of an observational, survey-based study involving 3

Mummified dogs reveal Tiwanaku people buried companions beside homes long before they beca

In the arid landscapes of southern Peru, around 1,100 years ago, someone carefully dug a small pit, laid down a woven mat and placed a young dog within as if sleeping, possibly wrapped in twine. Centuries later, the mummified remains would be one of only two intentionally buried

First ever dinosaur found in Antarctica described for science

The first dinosaur fossil found on the Antarctic continent has been described scientifically. The fossil, a vertebra, was found on a British Antarctic Survey (BAS) expedition in 1985 but has only recently been recognized as that of a dinosaur. The paper, "A titanosaurian sauropod

Switching spin states in manganese ions with light opens new path for molecular memory

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a new way to use molecules as tiny data storage devices with a new manganese-based material. Until now, this was possible only with iron-containing molecular materials, which require very low temperatures—ran

Country diary: This is as wild and remote as Britain gets – a trip to St Kilda | Nigel Bro

Outer Hebrides: It’s nearly 100 years since anyone lived on this hostile archipelago, though their ‘village’ remains – as does an astonishing wealth of wildlife Dawn on a deep-rolling ocean, and I am about to realise a dream. We’re 35 nautical miles west of the Outer Hebrides, on

Dads want to work from home, but fear career penalties

Working from home could improve family well-being, gender equality, fertility and staff retention, but only if fathers can use it without stigma or career penalties, new research from King's College London finds. The researchers analyzed data from the Survey of Working Arrangemen

A cataclysmic collision in space provides new clues on astronomy's biggest stalemate

Second only to black holes, neutron stars—incredibly dense star remnants—are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of space and time that we can detect on Earth.

Warming can shift freshwater crustaceans to a 'greener' diet

Climate change is not only warming our lakes and rivers, it is also changing what invasive species eat. A new experimental study published in Limnology and Oceanography Letters shows that temperature-driven diet shifts in an invasive crustacean could alter its ecological role in
