Scientists built a battery-free device that turns sunlight into fuel

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have created a new artificial photosynthesis system that can generate solar fuel more consistently while eliminating the need for battery based control equipment. The advance comes from integrating a self regulating chemical component directly into the electrolyzer, reducing both system complexity and cost. Like natural…

The deadly tapeworm spreading across America has reached the Pacific Northwest

A dangerous tapeworm that has been spreading across North America has now been detected in the Pacific Northwest, according to new research. Scientists found the parasite, known as Echinococcus multilocularis, in local coyotes, marking the first time it has been identified in a wild host along the contiguous U.S. West…

The 1,100-year-old mystery of Montana’s lost bison hunting site finally solved

For thousands of years, bison roamed the Great Plains of North America and were an essential resource for Indigenous hunters. Those hunting traditions continued until the late 1800s, when overhunting drove bison populations to the brink of extinction. Long before that collapse, however, hunters relied on a variety of strategies…

James Webb reveals two completely different twilights on an alien world

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered striking differences between the dawn and dusk regions of the ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-121 b. These boundary zones, known as terminators, mark the transition between the planet’s permanent day side and permanent night side. The findings provide the clearest evidence yet…

AI could uncover new physics faster but there’s a surprising catch

Artificial intelligence is already playing a major role in helping cosmologists study the universe. Now, new research suggests a machine learning technique called transfer learning could make the search for new physics much faster and less expensive. However, the study also uncovered a surprising downside: AI can sometimes become so…

Scientists discover a hidden cause of aging cells that can be reversed

As people grow older, their cells gradually become less efficient at producing energy and responding to changing demands. Scientists have long known that mitochondria, often called the cell’s powerhouses, play a central role in this decline. Now, researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging (FLI) in Jena, Germany, have identified…
