The discovery stands out because astronomers had previously only identified relatively small sulfur compounds in space, typically with six atoms or fewer.
Yet until recently, these "mycorrhizal networks" were greatly underestimated: seen as merely helpful companions to plants rather than one of Earth's vital circulatory systems.
The study, published in Physical Review Letters, examines how dark matter might have been produced during a period in cosmic history known as post inflationary…
The material from the Grotte a Hominides at Thomas Quarry I includes a nearly complete adult mandible, an additional adult half mandible, a child mandible…
Because this phase can efficiently carry electrical currents, researchers link superionic water to the generation of the unusual magnetic fields of ice giants such as Uranus and Neptune.
UC Davis researchers created serotonin-receptor compounds using light. The results are preclinical and do not establish safety or effectiveness in people.
It is now threatened with a demographic crisis after its birth rate halved over the past decade, despite the end of the restrictive "one-child" policy.
Quantum computing stores and processes information in qubits, which can be implemented in individual electrons, photons, atoms, ions or tiny electrical currents.
In work published online on November 24, 2025, in the Journal of Virology, the team reports the discovery of ushikuvirus, a newly isolated giant virus named after Lake Ushiku in Ibaraki Prefecture, where it was found.
The University of Surrey is partnering with researchers in Japan to develop instruments that can measure previously inaccessible isotopes, which are forms of matter that exist only briefly at the limits of nuclear stability.
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have developed the most detailed model so far of neutrinos produced by stars across the Milky Way and of how many of these particles reach Earth.
The team's analysis places COSMOS-74706 at roughly 11.5 billion years in the past on the cosmic timeline, showing that barred spirals were already in place by that epoch.
The observatory is also expected to support a broad astrophysics program and contribute to planning for future human exploration of Mars, elsewhere in the solar system, and more distant targets.
But a new study led by University of Chicago and Jet Propulsion Lab scientists has given us a deeper look at the planet by creating the most complete model to date of Jupiter's atmosphere.
A material's behavior is heavily influenced by its symmetries. One unique symmetry of interest to many physicists is chirality.
GoHam's disk surrounds a young star and is oriented almost edge-on, allowing a direct view of its vertical structure as the material rotates.
