The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is rewriting our understanding of the cosmos, having recently located a galaxy that existed a mere 280 million years after the Big Bang—dubbed MoM-z14. This groundbreaking discovery is not just a feather in the cap for the observational capabilities of JWST; it is a monumental leap in our quest

Flash droughts are an alarming phenomenon that has gained increased attention due to their swift and severe consequences on various ecosystems and economies. Unlike traditional droughts, which can develop over months or even years, flash droughts can arise in a matter of days. This rapid onset forces communities to react quickly, exposing the vulnerabilities faced
The Belle II experiment stands as a monumental endeavor in the realm of particle physics, primarily focused on investigating the weak interaction parameters, dissecting exotic hadrons, and unveiling potential new physical phenomena that lurk beyond the established frameworks of current physics theories. Hosted at the High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Tsukuba, Japan, the
Human evolution is a dynamic narrative, continually unfolding and influenced by environmental pressures. As a species, we have not reached a final destination; rather, we are still cooking. Each adaptation, from the smallest genetic mutation to significant physiological changes, serves as a testament to humanity’s resilience and ability to thrive in challenging settings. One compelling
Celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder affecting millions globally, imposes a perilous burden upon those afflicted. Even the slightest encounter with gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—can unleash a cascade of debilitating symptoms. Patients endure everything from gut distress and diarrhea to systemic issues that can disrupt daily life. The underlying problem stems from
The relentless quest for an ever-more precise understanding of time has reached a significant milestone, thanks to groundbreaking research conducted at the Ye Lab in partnership with the University of Delaware. By innovating an optical lattice clock that utilizes trapped strontium atoms, researchers have achieved an unparalleled level of systematic uncertainty, clocking in at an
Recent research has shed light on an underestimated asset in the fight against climate change: the miombo woodlands of Mozambique. Led by the carbon data provider Sylvera, this groundbreaking study, which involved an international team of researchers, unveiled that these unique ecosystems can absorb and store up to 2.2 times more carbon than traditional methods
A groundbreaking innovation from researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) is set to change the landscape of biochemical synthesis. Led by Associate Professor Koh Ming Joo, this pioneering team has developed a biomimetic method that transforms natural sugars into diverse glycosides and glycoproteins without the traditional need for protecting-group chemistry. Published in *Nature*
Recent astronomical discoveries continue to challenge our understanding of the intricate relationships within the cosmos. Scientists have recently observed a dramatic cosmic interaction—the moment one galaxy ejects a powerful beam of radiation from its supermassive black hole into another galaxy during a merger, a phenomenon dubbed the “cosmic joust.” This event marks a groundbreaking milestone,
On May 20, 2025, the FDA unleashed a transformative yet controversial approach to COVID-19 vaccination, limiting eligibility to adults aged 65 and older and those with certain risk factors. This strategic pivot marks a significant departure from the previously blanket recommendation that urged everyone aged 6 months and up to receive annual vaccinations. The new
