A study published in Nature Communications reveals the molecular "docking domains" bacteria use to assemble a family of anti-cancer compounds, offering a new blueprint for designing targeted cancer therapies in the lab.
Astronomers report a possible sighting of a primordial black hole, a decades-old idea for dark matter that has resurfaced as conventional searches keep coming up empty.
After a journey of roughly a billion kilometers, the spacecraft has closed to within 19 kilometers of the small asteroid Kamo'oalewa, setting the stage for an unprecedented sample-return attempt.
The Species Recovery Trust has retrieved New Forest cicada eggs from a French military base, launching a bid to reintroduce the singing insect three decades after it vanished from Britain.
Anthony Albanese and Narendra Modi announced an agreement to enable regular uranium shipments for "peaceful purposes," as the Indian leader prepared to address a crowd of an estimated 30,000 at Melbourne's Marvel Stadium.
Sir Charlie Burrell, the aristocrat behind the celebrated Knepp rewilding estate, is trying to replicate its success on 1,525 acres of former arable land in Lincolnshire, wagering that restoring nature can be as profitable as farming it.
A new device from Harvard engineers uses electrical currents rather than harsh chemicals to build dozens of DNA strands at once, pointing toward safer, more accessible synthesis methods.
A new framework from Heidelberg University explains how quasiparticles can form even when a foreign particle is nearly frozen in place within a sea of fermions, reconciling two long-separate quantum models.
University of Hawai'i researchers document two healthy goblin sharks in their natural habitat, expanding the known range and depth limits of one of the ocean's most elusive predators.
Researchers at the University of Osaka used a neural network to compare competing ways of describing water's structure, offering a clearer path to understanding why the liquid behaves so strangely.
An international team observed a mid-ocean ridge in the Indian Ocean shift and sink as magma erupted onto the seabed, offering a long-sought explanation for why these ridges produce so few earthquakes.
Activist Jason Jones is asking Britain's highest overseas appeals court to reinstate a 2018 ruling that struck down the colonial-era law criminalising consensual same-sex intimacy, after Trinidad's court of appeal reversed it last year.
In a historic reckoning, Hungary's public television news channel M1 suspended broadcasting and issued a rare on-air apology for years of disinformation under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
A genetic study of 132 people buried near Paris shows a Stone Age community was largely wiped out and replaced around 3000 BC, offering new clues to why megalithic construction ceased across Europe.
The company plans to use millimeter-wave technology to reach rock as hot as 500 degrees Celsius, with fresh test drilling planned at an Oregon geothermal site.
An international team at GSI/FAIR has built a machine learning tool called RHINE that dramatically cuts the computing power needed to model the nuclear reactions behind some of the universe's heaviest elements.
Researchers at TU Wien found evidence that particles inside a centimeter-scale "strange metal" crystal act as coordinated groups, showing that quantum entanglement is not limited to isolated atoms and photons.
A new mouse study in Nature finds that diet-shaped gut microbes, rather than metabolic dysfunction, explain why higher body weight has been linked to better responses to cancer immunotherapy.
Researchers have used reinforcement learning to let a quantum processor correct its own drifting hardware in real time, eliminating the need to pause computation for recalibration.
