The findings offer hope for a simple, non-invasive diagnostic method using biomarkers that […]
• This laser implosion just created a magnetic field like a neutron star July 16, 2025
  A powerful new technique harnesses swirling plasma inside laser-blasted microtubes to produce record-breaking magnetic fields—rivaling those near neutron stars—all within a compact laboratory setup. This innovation promises to transform astrophysics, quantum research, and fusion energy experiments by unleashing megatesla-level forces using nothing more than targeted laser pulses and clever engineering.
• Scholars just solved a 130-year literary mystery—and it all hinged on one word July 16, 2025
  After baffling scholars for over a century, Cambridge researchers have reinterpreted the long-lost Song of Wade, revealing it to be a chivalric romance rather than a monster-filled myth.
