Tiny magnetic waves could unlock quantum computers the size of a penny

A major breakthrough in quantum technology has turned magnons, tiny magnetic waves once considered too short-lived for practical use, into promising carriers of quantum information. Researchers extended their lifetime by nearly 100 times, reaching up to 18 microseconds, and disco

How asteroids may have sparked life on Earth

Ancient asteroid impacts may have done more than reshape Earth's surface—they could have helped spark life itself. New computer models show the collisions created enormous underground hydrothermal systems by cracking the planet's crust and allowing hot water to flow through it. T

Quantum semiconductor design could expand search for dark matter

Dark matter accounts for 85% of the matter in the universe, but scientists still do not know what it is made of. A study, published in Physical Review Letters, by Rice University researchers proposes a detector design that could help search for axions, hypothetical particles that

AI could bring satellite crop monitoring to the world's most vulnerable farms

Small farms grow much of the world's food, but from space they are nearly invisible. Their fields are tiny and ill-defined, and the satellite tools built to track crops were designed for the large, uniform fields of industrial agriculture, not the sub-hectare plots that feed many

Spider venoms could stop deadly varroa mites killing honey bees

Spider venoms contain ingredients that could lead to a new treatment to protect honeybees from the deadly Varroa destructor mite, according to a study led by the University of the Sunshine Coast. Researchers identified components in the venoms of the Tasmanian cave spider and the

El Niño is shaping up for a hot summer—could recycled water be part of the solution?

With El Niño officially declared for summer 2026, Dr. Laura Fernandez and researchers at Macquarie University are testing the use of recycled water to irrigate trees, helping cool Western Sydney.

Scientists uncover why Antarctica became engulfed by ice millions of years before the Arct

Scientists have uncovered why Antarctica became engulfed by ice millions of years before the Arctic. The international research, published in Science, helps solve one of climate science's longest-standing puzzles: how a vast ice sheet could form when Earth was around 5°C warmer t

As seas rise, American history could be washed away

In Jamestown, Virginia, one of the most important places in American history is in a race against time from rising watersSean Romo stops digging the moment he sees a faint line emerge in the sandy Virginia soil.It’s just a slight change in color, but to Romo, director of archaeol

Deliberate slow growth could explain bacteria survival strategies

Escherichia coli (E. coli) are mostly harmless bacteria that live in the intestines of animals and humans. They are the most well-studied bacteria and, often, when scientists discover something about E. coli, they extrapolate that discovery across all bacteria. So when scientists

Could 'Trojan horse'-type microorganisms that exploit symbiotic systems be candidates for

Researchers at National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in collaboration with researchers from The University of Electro-Communications (UEC) and Akita Prefectural University, have discovered a new insect pathogen that invades the gut symbiotic org

Purine-heavy DNA sequences protect Bacillus subtilis genes from Rho termination

In the study of bacteria, a longstanding dogma has held that two molecular machines—RNA polymerase, which leads the way in transcribing DNA into RNA, and ribosomes, which bring up the rear translating RNA into proteins—worked so closely in tandem that they were effectively attach
