In the White Mountains of western Crete, researchers have identified a previously unknown species now named Pyralis papaleonei, or the Pope Leo moth.

Researchers at Princeton University say they have now built a mathematical framework that could make unruly forms far easier to reproduce, not just in appearance but in how they behave mechanically.

The Matterhorn is not still. Seismometers show the Alpine peak gently sways and amplifies ground motion near its summit.

Eggs have spent years in nutrition debates, praised for protein one moment and questioned for cholesterol the next. Now a large, long-running study suggests they may also be tied to something else: a lower chance of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease later in life.

A research team at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Spain now says it has built an artificial intelligence system that can push into that unknown territory, generating millions of molecules that do not appear in current databases but still obey the rules of chemistry.

Writing in Nature Communications, the research team at Mass General Brigham reports that cancer patients whose facial age rose faster than expected were more likely to die sooner than those whose facial aging stayed slower or steadier.

The light from LHS 3844 b does not suggest oceans, clouds, or even air. What it points to instead is a dark, battered surface. This surface may have more in common with Mercury or the Moon than with anything you would recognize from Earth.

Quantum technology often gets pitched as a faster kind of computing. This research points in a different direction first: control. By changing a magnetic field on a schedule, rather than leaving it fixed, physicists found they could make matter settle into quantum states that do not exist in ordinary stationary materials.

Researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences developed small cooperative robots that can organize themselves to either build structures or dismantle them, using only simple rules and changes in their surroundings.

Researchers in Brazil found that tiny amounts of Amazonian dark earth, a human-made soil built up over centuries by pre-Columbian peoples, gave two native tree species a clear early advantage in degraded land.

A Utah fossil with the oldest known chelicera shows spider relatives emerged 20 million years earlier than scientists knew.
