The LHC just ruled out another hiding place for quantum black holes

Physicists searching through Large Hadron Collider data found no evidence that the machine has been producing microscopic quantum black holes, but the result sharply narrows where such exotic physics could still be hiding. These hypothetical black holes could form if extra spatial dimensions make gravity much stronger at extremely tiny scales, potentially offering clues toward the long-sought theory of quantum gravity.

The Solar System chose fire over ice from the very beginning

Ancient iron meteorites reveal that some of the Solar System’s first solid bodies were built mostly from tiny heat-forged rock beads called chondrules, while water-rich dust was largely excluded. The finding pushes this selective planet-building process back to within the Solar System’s first million years.

One of America’s largest reservoirs just hit a record low

Lake Powell has fallen to its lowest level on record after an exceptionally dry and warm winter left the Colorado River Basin with little mountain snow to melt. Lake Mead also reached record lows, raising concerns for a river system that supplies water and power to more than 40 million people. Federal officials have taken emergency steps to stabilize Lake Powell, including sending in water from another reservoir and reducing releases downstream.

How the pro‑nicotine 'wellness' movement rebranded an addictive drug

An ironic development emerging alongside the "Make America Healthy Again" movement is the portrayal of nicotine as a wellness and performance-enhancing product. Across social media, podcasts, wellness communities and tech startups, prominent wellness personalities and other influencers are portraying nicotine as a misunderstood compound whose potential benefits have been overshadowed by its negative association with cigarette smoking.

Injectable nanoparticles make blind retinas respond to light in preclinical study

An international research team has developed microscopic particles that can make blind retinas respond to light. The particles act as tiny light receptors. Researchers inject them into the eye, where they settle close to nerve cells in the retina. When light hits the particles, it triggers electrical and chemical processes that can activate the nerve cells and prompt them to send signals toward the brain.

From swarming bacteria to tissue cells, living matter defies classic physical models of motion

A new study led by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) reveals that living matter violates previously known physical principles of symmetry when cellular flows form and break down collective patterns. The research, published in Nature Physics, challenges conventional liquid-crystal physics by showing that moving single-celled bacteria and human respiratory cells spontaneously break mirror symmetry, moving in curved, irreversible spiral paths.

Psychologists provide tips on how to talk about identity

Imagine your child asks you out of the blue, "If we speak Spanish, will they take you away?" Or imagine them suddenly asking what an offensive slur means. When a child asks these types of questions, it can be difficult to trace them back to a specific news story or event. But you may not need to. The question itself tells you that your child is trying to make sense of something they heard.

'There was something bigger in the ground here': Metal detectorist in Germany discovers giant Roman-era hoard from time of emperor Hadrian

A metal detectorist in the west of Germany has discovered one of the largest hoards of Roman silver coins ever found in that country from the reign of the Emperor Hadrian. The pile includes more than 900 silver denarii — the denarius was the standard coin of the early Roman Empire — and weighs almost 7 pounds (3.1 kilograms).The stash was discovered about a year ago in a field near the small city of Wesseling, a few miles south of Cologne, according to a translated statement from Germany's Rhineland regional government. It's now on display at the Rhineland Regional Museum in Bonn (LVR-Landesmuseum Bonn).Archaeologists think the hoard was buried at the time of the Emperor Hadrian, who ruled f...

Is it time to start cutting red tape on government programs?

Nation & World Is it time to start cutting red tape on government programs? Journalist’s new book argues ‘administrative burden’ unfairly hits nation’s most vulnerable hardest, suggests solutions Christina Pazzanese Harvard Staff Writer September 22, 2026 9 min read Photo by Sharon Lehm Politicians are eager, especially at election time, to tout government programs intended to help their constituents, such as Medicare and Medicaid, veterans’ benefits, food assistance, or financial aid for low-income families with children. What they don’t talk about is how onerous it often is to obtain these benefits and services. There are complicated forms to fill out, lines to stand in, calls to make, and...

What is your dog really saying? AI is helping researchers decode animal communication

Is a dog's bark simply an expression of emotion, or does it contain specific information that humans cannot understand? Artificial intelligence (AI) can already analyze thousands of animal sounds and identify patterns that would go unnoticed by the human ear. But researchers are asking a far more ambitious question: Could technology one day help us understand what animals are actually saying?

RHIC data reveal intriguing dip in momentum fluctuations in high-density nuclear matter

Scientists using the STAR detector to study particle collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found an intriguing dip in their data in a relatively unexplored region of the nuclear phase diagram—a map of how nuclear matter behaves under various conditions of temperature and density. The dip appears in data tracking collision-by-collision variations in the momenta of particles emerging from collisions between gold nuclei at RHIC, near RHIC's lowest collision energies. These collisions create the highest-density nuclear matter and may indicate that something interesting is happening in that dense region of the phase diagram. The findings are described in a paper just publi...

Cash flow lessons help individual investors look beyond reported earnings

Why are individual investors, commonly known as "retail investors," prone to losing money in the stock market? A Lingnan University joint study of more than 4,600 Chinese and U.S. stocks finds that investors are less likely to buy stocks blindly when they understand the difference between a company's "reported earnings" and its "actual cash flows."
