A powerful X1.9 solar flare erupted on January 18, launching a fast coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Space weather agencies warn of strong geomagnetic storms that could disrupt satellites, GPS and radio communications, while also producing vivid auroras visible well beyond the polar regions.

Researchers have uncovered a hidden magnetic order in the pseudogap phase of a quantum material, a long-standing mystery in superconductivity research. Using an ultracold-atom simulator based on the Fermi-Hubbard model, the team detected antiferromagnetic correlations emerging above the superconducting transition. The discovery provides fresh insight into how supercon...

Scientists at the Perimeter Institute have developed a new simulation code, KISS-SIDM, to study self-interacting dark matter. The tool shows how rare dark matter interactions can heat and collapse galaxy halos, potentially explaining dense galactic cores and the early formation of supermassive black holes.

SpaceX Falcon Rocket has launched 29 satellites into the Low Earth orbit, in turn, raising the number of its active satellites to 9,500. With this, the rocket marked its 24th safest flight.

Viruses and bacteria evolved differently aboard the ISS.Microgravity reshaped infection behavior and genetic mutations. Research may advance phage therapy and combat drug resistance.

A new astronomical discovery has revealed a gigantic iron-rich structure hidden inside the famous Ring Nebula. Detected using cutting-edge imaging technology, the structure’s massive size and mysterious origin are reshaping scientists’ understanding of planetary nebulae and proving that even familiar regions of space still hold astonishing surprises.

A sub-zero elastocaloric freezer by HKUST achieves -12℃ with zero emissions, offering sustainable, energy-efficient cooling for the global freezing market.

Researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology suggest that frozen hydrogen cyanide may have helped trigger the chemistry that led to life on Earth. Their simulations show HCN forming cobweb-like ice crystals whose reactive surfaces enable unusual chemical reactions even in extreme cold. These processes could generate amino acids, nucleobases and other es...

New observations from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument are challenging the standard Lambda-CDM model of cosmology. A recent, still-unpublished hypothesis suggests that space itself may behave like a slightly viscous or “sticky” fluid, subtly affecting how the universe expands. By introducing a ghostly resistance to cosmic growth, the model could reconcile ...

NASA has confirmed that the three-member Expedition 74 crew will continue operations aboard the International Space Station following the early return of SpaceX Crew-11. U.S. astronaut Chris Williams and Russian cosmonauts Sergey Kud-Sverchkov and Sergei Mikaev are carrying out scientific experiments and routine maintenance while awaiting the arrival of four new crewm...
