• Earliest days of Earth's formation March 26, 2025
  New research sheds light on the earliest days of the earth's formation and potentially calls into question some earlier assumptions in planetary science about the early years of rocky planets. Establishing a direct link between the Earth's interior dynamics occurring within the first 100 million years of its history and its present-day structure, the work […]
• A cleaner future for tires: Scientists pioneer chemical process to repurpose rubber waste March 26, 2025
  Every year, millions of tires end up in landfills, creating an environmental crisis with far-reaching consequences. In the United States alone, over 274 million tires were scrapped in 2021, with nearly a fifth of them being discarded into landfills. A study has now pioneered a technique for breaking down this rubber waste and transforming it […]
• Cuttlefish 'mesmerize' their prey with a moving skin pattern, study finds March 26, 2025
  While sneaking up on prey, cuttlefish employ a dynamic skin display to avoid detection in last moments of approach, researchers have found.
• Cleaning microplastics March 26, 2025
  Proof-of-concept work uses unique, safe particles to remove microplastics in a single cycle.
• A safe nuclear battery that could last a lifetime March 26, 2025
  Lithium-ion batteries, used in consumer devices and electric vehicles, typically last hours or days between charges. However, with repeated use, they degrade and need to be charged more frequently. Now, researchers are considering radiocarbon as a source for safe, small and affordable nuclear batteries that could last decades or longer without charging.
