A team of physicists has experimentally confirmed a long-predicted sequence of exotic magnetic phases in an atomically thin material. When cooled, the material forms tiny magnetic vortices before ...

Within their planetary systems, stars are continuously shaping their orbiting planets through gravity, radiation and magnetic forces. So far, this relationship has appeared to be a one-way street. But ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Humans instinctively move anticlockwise, a study has found. "If you simply ask someone to start walking, whether they are ...

A study using the Very Large Array radio telescope may have discovered a magnetic field on exoplanet YZ Ceti b. Magnetic fields protect planets from energetic particles that can strip away atmospheres ...

The magnetic barrier that protects Earthlings from radiation almost collapsed some 565 million years ago. Here’s what saved it. A Trump account could make your kid a millionaire by 45—but financial ...

On June 30, at an Anthropic event in San Francisco called “The Briefing: AI for Science,” Amodei didn’t declare that AI’s impact on biology and other sciences had unleashed that effect, or was about ...

Science can improve people’s lives and extend human knowledge — if there is strong public support behind it. Yet there is widespread concern that this trust is eroding. In fact, public trust in ...

Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered that the protein PEX11 not only helps these structures divide but also ...

Near the end of May, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) proposed a new rule that would govern how the federal government handles the grants it issues, including those that fund the vast ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of ...

AI isn’t just writing poems or suggesting meal plans anymore — it’s bringing new possibilities for science and what we know about the world. Scientists can now decode electrons, create new materials ...
