An enigmatic fossil, once considered one of the earliest mollusks, has recently been reclassified by scientists from Durham and Yunnan universities. This discovery challenges our knowledge about the ...

Precious metal complexes play a crucial role in the development of medical treatments, particularly in oncology. However, their mode of action and behavior in biological environments remain poorly ...

The quest for dark matter has mobilized scientists for decades. Two hypothetical particles, axions and dark photons (see chapter at the end of the article), could be its constituents. Diagram of the ...

The Tiangong station hosts a microorganism unknown on Earth, revealing astonishing adaptations to the space environment. This discovery opens unexpected perspectives for research in biology and ...

The Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most iconic predators in Earth's history, hides distant origins spanning Asia and North America. A recent study traces the journey of its ancestors across ancient ...

A team of researchers has developed a vaccine targeting the tau protein, associated with Alzheimer's disease, showing robust immune responses in mice and non-human primates. Encouraged by these ...

The discovery of a weapon in a Russian cave challenges conventional ideas about the technical capabilities of Neanderthals. This artifact, a bone spear tip much older than the arrival of Homo sapiens ...

The Terrell-Penrose effect, predicted in 1959, suggests that objects moving at speeds close to that of light appear rotated. This optical illusion results from the combination of relativistic length ...

Protons play a central role in energy production within cells. A team of researchers has discovered that their movement is influenced by electron spin, a quantum property. This interaction occurs in ...

Commercial aircraft could be used to cool the planet by injecting particles into the atmosphere. A recent study reveals that this method could be implemented more quickly. Researchers from University ...

A recent study conducted by the Jülich research center in Germany compared 19 quantum processors from five manufacturers. The tests measured the stability and reliability of these systems for ...

Exactly a century ago, Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger laid the foundations of an equation that would mark the history of quantum physics. This equation, bearing his name, describes the behavior ...
