Physicists discover mysterious new type of time crystal

Nature follows countless rhythms: the changing of the seasons comes from Earth’s orbit around the Sun, and the steady tick of a clock arises from the back-and-forth swing of its pendulum. These patterns can be described with simple mathematical laws. Yet, order can also appear in a far more surprising…

It actually rains on the Sun. Here’s the stunning reason

It rains on the Sun, and scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy (IfA) have finally uncovered the reason why. Unlike the water that falls from clouds on Earth, solar rain takes place in the Sun’s corona, the outermost layer made of intensely hot plasma. This phenomenon involves…

These giant planets shouldn’t exist. But they do

What do you do when you encounter a strange astronomical event, a collection of data from planets thousands of light-years away, and models that can’t quite explain what you’re seeing? For one astronomer at Northern Arizona University’s Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science, the answer is simple: start building better…

Astronomers detect a cosmic “heartbeat” in pulsar signals

Pulsars may be revealing that extremely low-frequency gravitational waves are moving through the universe. Observations reported in 2023 by international pulsar timing array collaborations could be caused by either a background of overlapping gravitational waves from countless distant sources or a single pair of nearby supermassive black holes orbiting each…

Scientists grow mini human livers that predict toxic drug reactions

Researchers at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, working in partnership with Roche, have created a next-generation human liver organoid microarray platform designed to predict which medications might trigger harmful immune responses in certain individuals. The findings, published online on Sept. 26, 2025, in Advanced Science, describe a fully human, miniaturized…

Scientists unlock a 100-year-old quantum secret to supercharge solar power

In a breakthrough that connects modern science with ideas first explored a century ago, researchers have witnessed a surprising phenomenon once thought possible only in inorganic metal oxides appearing inside a glowing organic semiconductor molecule. Led by scientists at the University of Cambridge, the discovery reveals a new and efficient…

MIT scientists find metals hold secret atomic patterns

For years, scientists have known that tiny chemical patterns can form inside metal alloys, but most assumed these patterns were insignificant or disappeared during manufacturing. Recent experiments have shown that in controlled lab conditions, such patterns can actually influence how metals behave — affecting their strength, durability, heat resistance, and…

Exercise might be the key to a younger, sharper immune system

Regular physical activity does more than improve muscle strength and cardiovascular health — it also enhances immune function. This conclusion comes from a study of older adults with a long history of endurance training, which includes sustained forms of exercise such as long-distance running, cycling, swimming, rowing, and walking. An…
