Known physics suggests the early universe should have produced matter and antimatter in equal amounts. Nearly all of it annihilated into radiation, but roughly one extra matter particle survived for every billion pairs—and why that tiny imbalance existed remains one of physics’ deepest unsolved problems.
3+ hour, 57+ min ago (906+ words) The measured net baryon-to-photon ratio is about 6.1 parts in ten billion. Physics can describe the required ingredients for that excess, but no confirmed mechanism made it....
MIT engineers made water filters from slices of tree branches that removed more than 99% of E. coli and rotavirus in lab tests — after trials in India, the team designed a gravity-fed prototype that could filter a liter of water an hour
2+ day, 21+ hour ago (496+ words) As water crises worsen in developing nations, MIT researchers discovered that nature had already engineered the solution—hidden inside tree branches that cost nearly nothing to harvest....
Physicist Bhupal Dev at Washington University used the debris from GW170817 — the 2017 neutron star merger — to squeeze new limits on axion-like particles, treating the hot post-collision remnant as a natural forge for dark-matter candidates
3+ day, 17+ hour ago (302+ words) Physicist Bhupal Dev and colleagues have used the multi-year record of GW170817 — the 2017 neutron star merger seen in both gravitational waves and light — to tighten bounds on axion-like particles, treating the hot post-collision remnant as a natural forge for dark matter…...
Cambridge researchers kept a computer chip running for a year using blue-green algae in a container about the size of an AA battery — the living power source harvested energy from light and continued supplying electricity through periods of darkness
3+ day, 18+ hour ago (46+ words) Living organisms just proved they can power our devices—without batteries, charging cables, or human intervention....
A protein that makes jellyfish glow was repurposed by researchers in Sweden as the light-harvesting material in a tiny solar cell — when exposed to UV light, it generated an electrical current
3+ day, 19+ hour ago (27+ words) Shine ultraviolet light on a droplet of glowing jellyfish protein and, for a moment, it stops behaving like biology and starts behaving like a solar cell. An...
In 1996, astronauts paid out 19.7 kilometres of cable from the shuttle Columbia to test electricity generation in orbit — the system reached 3,500 volts before an electrical arc burned through the tether and sent the satellite drifting away from its ship.
3+ day, 20+ hour ago (673+ words) Columbia’s TSS-1R experiment deployed 19.7 kilometres of tether before electrical arcing caused a break. The lost satellite still left useful data about electricity generation in orbit....
A meteorite that punched through a New Jersey roof carried amino acids and evidence of ancient salty water — clues to the chemistry that may have helped supply early Earth with the ingredients for life
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (631+ words) A space rock that crashed through a New Jersey home carries organic molecules and signs of water—suggesting how asteroids may have seeded Earth's primordial chemistry. Published September 8, 2026 · How we edit A hole in the bedroom ceiling, black grit spread…...
Researchers traced Leonardo da Vinci’s family through 21 generations and found matching Y-chromosome markers in six living men — now bones from a Renaissance family tomb could connect that genetic trail directly to his time
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (429+ words) A genetic thread stretches across five centuries, connecting living descendants to the Renaissance master through his prolific father—and newly excavated remains could prove it. Published September 8, 2026 · How we edit Leonardo da Vinci had no children, which makes the six…...
Astronomers long expected the Milky Way and Andromeda to collide in about 4.5 billion years — but a 2025 study in Nature Astronomy, using Hubble and Gaia data, estimated only a roughly 50–50 chance of the galaxies merging within the next 10 billion years.
6+ day, 2+ hour ago (810+ words) The 2025 estimate depended on uncertain motions and neighbouring galaxies. A 2026 follow-up put the merger probability higher, showing why the forecast remains sensitive to the measurements. By Deep Field · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 7, 2026 · How we edit The Milky Way’s…...
Nearly every element in your body except hydrogen was forged by stars—the calcium in your bones and much of the iron in your blood came through ancient supernovae, while the hydrogen flowing through you was born before the first star existed.
1+ week, 23+ hour ago (982+ words) Hydrogen predates the stars, while generations of stellar fusion, supernovae and galactic recycling supplied the heavier elements now arranged into living bodies....
