"Dead Men Walking": Why Iran Has Moved Its Nuclear Scientists Into Hiding
In June, Israeli strikes killed several top commanders and six nuclear scientists of Iran. The strikes targeted Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders to prevent Tehran from developing an atomic weapon.

Gold Defies Physics: Remains Solid at 14x Its Melting Point in Superheating Experiment
Gold has amazed scientists by remaining solid under extreme temperatures—14 times its standard melting point—due to superheating. The study highlights how conventional physics may not fully explain ultra-fast reactions. These groundbreaking results, published in collaboration with international labs, have far-reaching implications for high-ener...

MIT Just Proved Einstein Wrong in the Famous Double-Slit Quantum Experiment
MIT scientists have conducted the most precise version of the double-slit quantum experiment using ultracold atoms. The findings support Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics and challenge Einstein’s belief in deterministic realism. The experiment offers robust evidence for quantum indeterminacy and reinforces Bell’s theorem, ...

Magnetic Wave Study Detects Lithium in Mercury’s Exosphere for First Time Ever
For the first time, scientists have detected lithium in Mercury’s exosphere using magnetic wave signatures found in MESSENGER spacecraft data. The findings link lithium’s release to meteoroid impacts that vaporise planetary material, offering fresh insight into volatile element delivery. This breakthrough reshapes our understanding of Mercury...

Scientists Recreate Cosmic Ray Physics Using Cold Atom in New Laboratory Study
Scientists have successfully recreated Fermi acceleration in a lab using ultracold atoms and movable optical barriers, simulating how cosmic rays gain energy in space. Developed by teams from Birmingham and Chicago, the mini Fermi accelerator marks a major advance in particle physics, opening doors to high-energy astrophysics studies and innovation...

Earth’s Spin to Speed Up Briefly, Causing Shorter Days This Summer
Scientists report that Earth will briefly spin faster on July 9, 22, and August 5, shortening those summer days by 1.3 to 1.5 milliseconds. Though undetectable in daily life, this shift offers clues to how lunar gravity and seasonal changes affect planetary dynamics. Experts note that while timekeeping systems like GPS are unaffected, this rare spe...

How The United States Forced Iran To Pursue A Nuclear Programme
When American scientists helped install a nuclear reactor in Tehran in the 1960s, they did so under the banner of peace. Decades later, US warplanes bombed Iranian nuclear sites to halt what they now see as a threat.

Iran's Message As US, Israel Hunt For 400kg Of Near-Weapons Grade Uranium
Iran still has stocks of enriched uranium - which is used to make nuclear weapons - and 'the game is not over', sources close to the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told news agency AFP Tuesday.

The Kill Truck: How A Parked Car Killed Iran's Nuclear Program Mastermind
When Israeli missiles rained on Iran's nuclear facilities this month, Fereidoun Abbasi, the former head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation, was among the high-profile casualties.

The Iranian Commanders And Nuclear Scientists Killed In Israeli Strikes
Iran said several top commanders and six nuclear scientists were killed in Israeli strikes on Friday targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, ballistic missile factories and military commanders to prevent Tehran from developing an atomic weapon.

Scientists Discover Heaviest Proton-Emitting Nucleus After Nearly 30 Years
Researchers at Finland’s University of Jyväskylä have identified astatine-188, the heaviest atomic nucleus yet known to undergo proton emission. This rare radioactive decay challenges established nuclear models and offers new insight into the structure and stability of exotic isotopes. The breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, marks...

Scientists Transform Lead into Gold, But Only for a Fleeting Moment
In a landmark experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, scientists briefly turned lead into gold by removing three protons through near-miss atomic collisions. The ALICE collaboration generated 89,000 gold atoms per second, though each existed only fleetingly. While economically insignificant, the breakthrough showcases the precision of particle ...
