A new study has now provided the first direct evidence that the greater noctule bat (Nyctalus lasiopterus), Europe’s largest bat, hunts and consumes migrating songbirds in mid-flight. This discovery ...

The red cells are genetically engineered macrophages designed to selectively recognize, engulf and destroy breast cancer cells (blue), demonstrating a promising new cell-based immunotherapy approach.

The Soviet PFM-1, also known as the butterfly mine for its winged shape, was designed with chilling precision. Dropped from ...

Researchers used the NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to map specific ...

Scientists at Kyushu University have developed a solid-state system that converts visible light into ultraviolet light via ...

This graphic illustrates three different ways that electrons can pair up and flow through rhombohedral pentalayer graphene without resistance. The three different superconducting states (represented ...

IBM has unveiled the world’s first chip technology that scales below one nanometer, a feat once thought impossible, now realized at the 0.7 nm, or 7 angstrom node. This fingernail-sized marvel ...

Earth’s chemistry was set early, but it was too dry to support life. Only a later collision with Theia likely delivered the water and volatiles that made life possible. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Before ...

A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a ...

From frying pans to raincoats, oil-repelling surfaces are everywhere. But the chemicals that make them slick, known as PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), have come under fire for their ...

Cremation is unusual in the archaeological record before the mid-Holocene, especially among hunter-gatherers. Pyres demand immense communal effort: fuel, labor, and sustained fire. Yet here, beneath ...
