CERN just drove 92 antiprotons across its campus in a truck — the first time antimatter has ever been transported. The destination? A future delivery service that could ship antimatter to labs across Europe.
The Lunar Gateway is on ice. NASA's new chief wants $20 billion for a moon base instead—saying the old plan was "not a path to success."
All five nucleobases—the molecular letters of DNA and RNA—have been found in asteroid Ryugu. The building blocks of life may have been raining down on Earth for billions of years.
Qatar supplies a third of the world's helium — and the war just took it offline. Hospitals, chipmakers, and rocket companies are weeks away from feeling it.
Five pigs ate normally for six months using lab-grown gullets built from their own cells — no immunosuppression needed. The team behind it wants to do the same for children born without a functioning food pipe within five years.
Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard figured out how to use photons to lock down encryption keys — security guaranteed by physics, not math. Four decades later, with quantum computers threatening to crack conventional cryptography, the timing of computing's highest honor is no accident.
NASA's Artemis II rocket is back on the launch pad after a helium flow fix, with four astronauts in quarantine and an April 1 launch window opening. It's the first crewed trip to the Moon's vicinity since 1972.
Radial clusters of bolt-holes on Pompeii's fortress walls match the firing pattern of a polybolos — a rapid-fire weapon no one has ever found intact.
Over 3,400 dead marine creatures, 750 sick villagers, and four months later — scientists still can't say what's poisoning the waters off New Ireland Province.
The Artemis II crew entered quarantine yesterday. Tonight, their rocket rolls to the pad. If all holds, they'll be the first humans to see the far side of the Moon since 1972 — and the mission's long list of technical fixes is finally behind them.
Computing's highest honor — and its $1 million prize — goes to the two researchers who figured out how to use quantum physics to make encryption unbreakable. The catch: most of the world still doesn't use it.
Ringed seals knowingly swim into polar bear hunting grounds when the fish variety improves. GPS-tracked proof that a diverse diet is worth dying for.
After a hydrogen leak, a helium problem, and a year-plus of delays, NASA has cleared Artemis II for an April 1 launch. Four astronauts are about to become the first humans near the Moon since 1972.
The UK was central to discovering the Higgs boson. Now it's pulling £49.4 million from the next LHCb upgrade — and international partners say the project may not survive without it.
A dark matter detector buried in a Canadian nickel mine just hit 20 millikelvins — roughly 100 times colder than deep space. Now it listens for particles no one has ever seen.
NASA lab results just sank the leading theory for how cell-like structures could form in Titan's methane lakes. Instead of membranes, researchers got crystals.
Four astronauts, a $4.1 billion rocket, and 53 years since humans last saw the Moon up close. After heat shield cracks, helium leaks, and a timeline that slipped by years, NASA has polled "go" for April 1.
