In 2025, tens of thousands of earthquakes near Santorini were caused by rising magma, which stalled 4 km under the seafloor, fracturing rock. AI and seafloor sensors provided detailed analysis.
A physicist's updated model suggests the universe, now 13.8 billion years old, may collapse in a "big crunch" in about 20 billion years, based on new dark energy data indicating a negative cosmological constant.
Researchers confirmed a material can have true 1D electronic properties using phosphorus atom chains on silver. Isolating individual chains showed this 1D behavior. Spacing matters: farther apart acts as a semiconductor, closer together predicts metallic behavior.
Scientists found the enzyme N4BP2 triggers chromothripsis, a catastrophic chromosome shattering that drives aggressive cancers. Blocking it could slow tumor evolution and drug resistance.
New analysis of Scandinavia's oldest plank boat suggests it was built in the Baltic Sea region around 2,400 years ago, based on pine pitch used for waterproofing. A preserved fingerprint was also found in the caulk.
Scientists found two brain receptors that control amyloid beta clearance in Alzheimer's. Activating them boosted natural cleanup, reducing plaques and improving memory in mice, suggesting a path to safer, cheaper drugs.
Chinese researchers developed a more efficient method to produce cancer-fighting natural killer (NK) cells from cord blood stem cells, reducing costs and preparation time for immunotherapy.
A brain parasite can infect immune cells designed to kill it. Research shows these cells use an enzyme called caspase-8 to self-destruct, killing the parasite and controlling the infection.
New research challenges the habit loop theory of compulsive behavior. In rats, brain inflammation led to more deliberate, goal-driven actions, not habits. This suggests some compulsions involve excessive, misdirected control, not a loss of it.
QKD uses quantum physics for secure communication, detecting eavesdropping via signal disturbance. A new study shows that pointing error (misalignment) in optical systems increases errors and reduces secure key generation, with asymmetry sometimes improving performance.
New sensor uses DNA, quantum dots, and CRISPR to detect cancer biomarkers in blood with high sensitivity, enabling early diagnosis and treatment monitoring.
