Watch: Flood waters surge in Texas after huge rainstorms
The deluge prompted evacuations and water rescues in the same region where 25 children and two counsellors at Camp Mystic died in flooding in 2025.

Cellular transporter protein essential for nutrient absorption in pathogenic fungi may off
They are the cell's "gatekeepers": specialized proteins, known as transporters, selectively control which substances enter a cell and which do not. Researchers at the University of Münster and the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens have investigated these transporters
Scientists invent new board games to reveal how we tackle the unknown
Playing board games can be fun, challenging, infuriating and a great way to pass the time. They can also help scientists understand how we solve new problems.
At least one dead in Texas floods ravaging same area where campers died
The same area devastated by floods last year - causing more than 130 deaths, including those at Camp Mystic - is once again being hit.
Brain-inspired nanopore device uses current-induced heating for memory operations
Some researchers are leaning into biology for inspiration in computing. In particular, neuromorphic computing offers a brain-inspired approach to hardware that replaces traditional binary processing with systems that function more like neurons and synapses. Now, a new study, publ
A volcano in the Philippines erupted 2 weeks ago: Why scientists are still watching it clo
Two weeks ago, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology recorded three distinct, short-lived explosions in less than five minutes at Taal Volcano. The eruption sent a column of ash and steam up to 1.2 km (0.75 miles) into the air.
Hybrid material confirms antiferroelectricity can coexist with switchable polarization
Many of the advanced electronic components surrounding us in everyday life rely on polar materials to function. Polar materials have an uneven distribution of electric charge. This gives them a positive and a negative side even in the absence of an external electric field. The mo
Cold radioactive molecules prepped and readied for physics discoveries
For the first time, researchers have developed a way to create chilled molecules containing the radioactive element radium. The resulting laboratory concoctions, generated in part through steps similar to those used to make candy, are poised to help researchers solve one of the b
In search of life beyond our solar system: Atmosphere detected on a habitable-zone rocky w
In a major milestone in the search for life on other planets, astronomers have detected, for the first time, an atmosphere surrounding an Earth-like, rocky planet orbiting within the habitable zone of another star. The finding provides the strongest evidence yet that worlds with
Disrupting single enzyme gene in herb red perilla produces green plants with enriched heal
Hiroshima University researchers have used genome editing to transform red perilla into a green look-alike and simultaneously restructured the plant's chemistry to boost levels of compounds prized for their potential health benefits. The findings point to a new strategy for devel
Air from Greenland snow shows industrialization's impact on atmospheric methane
An international team of researchers, including scientists from Utrecht University and the University of Maryland, has reconstructed the concentration of clumped isotopes of methane in air from the past for the first time. This provides new insights into how atmospheric methane c
Earth-like exoplanet could have life-supporting water on its surface
Scientists discover the first confirmed atmosphere in habitable zone outside our solar system on LHS 1140bThe search for life outside our solar system has taken another twist as researchers revealed they have discovered an atmosphere around an Earth-like planet 49 light years awa
