Supercomputers just solved a 50-year-old mystery about giant stars

Recent advances in supercomputing have allowed scientists to tackle a long-standing question in astronomy. Researchers have been trying to understand why the chemical makeup at the surface of red giant stars changes as these stars evolve. For many years, scientists struggled to connect what happens deep inside a red giant…

Insulin pills may soon replace daily injections

For more than 100 years, scientists have pursued the idea of insulin in pill form, often described as a “dream” treatment for diabetes. The challenge has been the body itself. Enzymes in the digestive system break down insulin before it can work, and the intestine lacks a natural way to…

Physicists just turned glass into a powerful quantum security device

As quantum computers grow more powerful, many current encryption methods could eventually become vulnerable. One promising solution is quantum cryptography, which relies on the laws of physics rather than mathematical complexity to keep data secure. However, making quantum communication practical requires small, dependable devices that can accurately read delicate quantum…

New light trap design supercharges atom-thin semiconductors

Atomically thin semiconductors like tungsten disulfide (WS2) are emerging as key materials for next-generation photonic technologies. Even though they are only a single layer of atoms, they can host tightly bound excitons, which are electron and hole pairs that interact strongly with light. These materials can also produce new colors…

A surprising foam discovery could change everyday products

Researchers at Tokyo Metropolitan University have uncovered the real reason liquid drains from foams, resolving a long-standing scientific puzzle. Traditional physics models have consistently overestimated how tall a foam must be before liquid begins to leak out. By closely observing foam behavior, the team found that the key factor is…

DNA reveals two new bass species hidden in plain sight

University of Georgia researchers have identified and formally described two previously unrecognized species of black bass, known as Bartram’s bass and Altamaha bass, in a recently published study. Although the species are only now being officially classified, they have been seen before. Ecologist Bud Freeman first came across Micropterus pucpuggy,…

Sperm whales caught headbutting each other on camera for the first time

Researchers from the University of St Andrews have documented sperm whales striking each other with their heads, capturing the behavior on video and formally describing it for the first time. The finding supports stories from 19th-century sailors who reported whales using their heads to ram and push objects, sometimes even…

Women over 50 lost 35% more weight with this surprising combo

A Mayo Clinic-led study reports that postmenopausal women using menopausal hormone therapy experienced significantly greater weight loss when taking tirzepatide, a Food and Drug Administration-approved medication for overweight and obesity. On average, these women lost about 35% more weight compared to those using tirzepatide alone. The results, published in The…

This new tooth powder whitens teeth without damage

Teeth can lose their brightness over time, even with consistent brushing. Staining can come from genetics or from everyday foods and drinks like coffee and tomatoes. While chemical whitening products are widely used, they can sometimes harm tooth enamel. To address this, researchers reporting in ACS Nano have created an…
