A large swath of Earth's oceans changed color over the past 20 years—and human activity is suspected to have caused it, a new study reports.

The discarded peels of aloe vera can be used as a natural pesticide, helping farmers protect staple food crops from harmful insects, research suggests.

In 1900—some 22 years before he discovered the tomb of Tutankhamen—British archaeologist Howard Carter opened another tomb in the Valley of the Kings. In tomb KV42, Carter found the remains of a noblewoman called Senetnay, who died around 1450 BCE.

In a major breakthrough, scientists have built a tool to predict the odor profile of a molecule, just based on its structure. It can identify molecules that look different but smell the same, as well as molecules that look very similar but smell totally different. The research was published in Science.

Foundation backtracks on earlier announcement that representatives from Russia, Belarus and Iran would be invitedThe Nobel Foundation has reversed its decision to invite ambassadors from Russia and Belarus to this year’s Nobel awards ceremony in Stockholm after the invitation sparked anger.In 2022, the Nobel Foundation, which organises the annual Nobel prize ceremony and banquet in Stockholm,...

This week, researchers reported on two-dimensional gold sheets, a tidy little meson made of four quarks (and its buddy!) and a big and almost unimaginably dense exoplanet with an exciting backstory.

The many CERN-developed sensors and software programs of the FRAS (Full Remote Alignment System) have been successfully tested on a prototype magnet in preparation for the HL-LHC.

This summer, a South Korean lab declared a world-changing breakthrough. Their claims didn’t survive scrutiny, but physicists hold out hope for the holy grail of electric efficiencyA “possible real solution to the energy crisis” that “could change everything”. That’s how recent headlines billed the mundane lumps of a dirty-looking material known as LK-99 reported by scientists in South...

Following quickly on the success of India's moon landing, the country's space agency launched a rocket on Saturday to study the sun in its first solar...

India has launched a spacecraft towards the sun in the latest mission of its ambitious space programme. The launch comes a week after the country's successful unmanned moon landing. Aditya-L1 launched with a live broadcast, showing the vessel making its way to the upper reaches of the Earth's atmosphere. The vessel is carrying scientific instruments to study the sun's outermost layers in a...

Bees could become biomonitors, checking their neighborhoods to determine how far antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has spread, according to research by Macquarie University scientists.

Typhoon Saola swept across southern China on Saturday after tearing down trees and smashing windows in Hong Kong, although the megacity avoided a feared direct hit from one of the region's strongest storms in decades.

The latest mission in India's ambitious space program blasted off Saturday on a voyage towards the center of the solar system, a week after the country's successful unmanned moon landing.

Micro- and nanodisk lasers have recently emerged as promising optical sources and probes for various applications in the fields of nanophotonics and biomedicine. Their ability to achieve lasing at a deterministic wavelength and ultra-narrowband precision is critical for several applications in on-chip photonic communications, on-chip bioimaging, biochemical sensing, and quantum photonic...

India launched its first space mission to study the sun on Saturday, less than two weeks after a successful uncrewed landing near the south polar region of the moon.
