New videos reveal how a male dolphin has perfected a never-before-seen hunting technique for his species: he terrorizes fish until they vomit—and then feeds on their regurgitated food. The observations,…

Europe’s prototype spacesuit aboard the International Space Station (ISS) still needs some work after European Space Agency astronaut Sophie Adenot performed its first fit and dexterity checks on orbit. EuroSuit…

China has recently offered a first look at its next-generation fusion reactor. It has unveiled the blueprint and concept art for its upcoming HL-4 tokamak at the Shanghai Fusion Energy…

Memory problems, thinning skin, and declining bone mass may seem like separate consequences of growing older. Yet experiments in mice suggest that changes in a protein deep inside the brain…

Deciding on Tom Hardy’s greatest performance of all time is tricky. While some would say it’s impossible to top his performance in Mad Max: Fury Road, others would say his…

OpenAI may have claimed to have solved a million-dollar math problem that’s fundamental to lots of modern technology, but don’t expect anything to change—at least, not immediately. Earlier this month…

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope may be able to operate for far longer than originally expected. An exceptionally precise first mid-course correction, combined with other fuel savings, could more…

Ask any mathematician where artificial intelligence stands in their field, and you’ll hear it moved into the office down the hall, knocked off a few open problems and is elbowing…

Nuclear fusion has spent decades suspended between scientific triumph and commercial disappointment. Now, however, the technology is experiencing a remarkable investment boom. Private fusion start-ups are attracting record amounts of…

Say cheese, universe. NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has caught its first glimpses of cosmic light—a major step on the road to beaming back unprecedented images and data about…

People who have both atrial fibrillation and Alzheimer’s disease may experience slower cognitive decline when treated with newer NOAC blood thinners, according to research from Karolinska Institutet published in the…

This time next week, any Arctic cold fronts pushing into northern New York or lake effect snow dumping on Syracuse will be sweeping in from across Lake America—at least according…

The end of the 2025–2026 school year was plagued with heat waves across the country, with strings of 90-plus-degree Fahrenheit days in late March through June forcing early school dismissals…

The sun seems unchanging—a constant source of light and warmth for Earth and the most fundamental necessity for life as we know it. But nothing in this universe is unending….

A new analysis led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) suggests that liquid nitrogen may be moving upward through cracks and reaching the surface of Pluto near the northern edge of…

Nuclear fusion energy, the idea of copying the sun’s heat source on earth to make limitless commercial energy is famously always 30 years away. This month, the UK and US…

The brain keeps one of the strictest guest lists in the body. Oxygen and nutrients may enter. Toxins, germs, and other substances traveling through the blood are turned away. Controlling…

Among the many surprises uncovered by the James Webb Space Telescope, one of the strangest has been a large population of tiny, intensely red objects known as Little Red Dots….

North Korea’s Mount Mantap is being rocked by earthquakes—and the reason appears to be the pariah state’s nuclear tests. It’s been almost 10 years since North Korea last conducted an…

According to Einstein’s theory of general relativity, gravity does not discriminate. Matter, antimatter – it’s all the same as far as gravity is concerned, and it all should fall in…

The UK and US are expanding their partnership on fusion energy, with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI), advanced computing and simpler rules for developing fusion plants. The agreements were…

Tiny particles from space are passing through Earth all the time, even though we cannot see, hear, feel, taste, or smell them. Many of these particles are linked to cosmic…

Deep in the Bolivian Yungas cloud forests, there stalks an utterly adorable beast: smaller than a house cat and spotted like a leopard, the creature has long been known to…

Although the video game landscape is already pretty firmly in the ninth generation (with games like Grand Theft Auto 6 already looking to push the bounds of current-gen consoles), there’s…

The brain’s microscopic wiring may need a different kind of textbook illustration. Instead of the smooth, narrow tubes commonly drawn extending from nerve cells, some axons resemble strings of tiny…

A “baby” exoplanet, discovered emerging from its cosmic cocoon around a nearby star, is the youngest alien world ever seen, a new study reveals. The planetary infant is less than…

It was a late evening in March 1929. Twenty-six-year-old Fritz Houtermans was out for a walk with Charlotte Riefenstahl, a fellow young physicist. Both had received their doctorates in theoretical…

Dogs are humanity’s best animal friend. But when it comes to the science of dogs, we’ve been shortchanging our four-legged buddies, says Federico Rossano. A cognitive researcher at the University…

No one expected Spider-Man: Brand New Day to flop — its box office projections were set incredibly high for a reason — but the speed at which it surpassed those…
