2025 Was One Of Three Hottest Years On Record: Scientists
Temperatures remained high despite the presence of a La Nina, the occasional natural cooling of Pacific Ocean waters that influences weather worldwide. Researchers cited the continued burning of fossil fuels that send greenhouse gases into atmosphere

New Shortcut Lets Scientists Run Complex Quantum Models on a Laptop
A University at Buffalo team has redesigned the truncated Wigner approximation into an easy, plug-and-play template that lets scientists run complex quantum simulations on everyday laptops. The method works for open systems, slashes computing demands, and helps free supercomputers for the hardest quantum problems.

Is Earth Really Getting Too Hot To Live? Scientist Explains Climate Change
Hot air evaporates a lot more water, so crops, forests and landscapes in some areas dry out, which makes them more susceptible to wildfire. Each Celsius degree of warming can cause a sixfold increase in wildfire over parts of the western US.

Video: Scientists Discover World's Largest Spiderweb Housing Over 110,000 Creatures
The colony, comprising 69,000 domestic house spiders and more than 42,000 dwarf weaver spiders, spans a total area of 1,140 square feet.

Scientists Construct 5-Micron Engine Generating Effective Heat of 13 Million Degrees Celsius Without Burning
A team of scientists has created a microscopic engine made from a 5-micrometre glass bead suspended in an electric field. By applying oscillating voltages, the bead moves as if it’s in an environment of 13 million°C, even though it remains cool. The study reveals bizarre thermodynamic effects at tiny scales, offering clues to how natural molecul...

James Webb Space Telescope Detects Phosphine on Brown Dwarf Wolf 1130C
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have detected phosphine gas in the atmosphere of the brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, about 54 light-years away. The finding suggests phosphine can form in extreme, non-biological environments, challenging its status as a potential biomarker and reshaping how scientists search for alien life.

Chinese Scientists Create 'Bone Glue' That Repairs Fractures In Just 3 Minutes
The glue can also be naturally absorbed by the body as the bone heals, eliminating the need for another surgery to remove implants.

2025 Had Earth's Third-Hottest July On Earth: Scientists
Last month was Earth's third warmest July since records began and included a record national temperature in Turkey of 50.5 degrees Celsius (122.9 Fahrenheit), scientists said on Thursday.

Scientists Explore Role of Space Radiation in Powering Alien Microbial Life
A new study proposes that life may exist far from sunlight in a “radiolytic habitable zone” deep beneath the icy surfaces of Mars, Europa, and Enceladus. Cosmic rays, which can penetrate rock and ice, break water molecules apart to release hydrogen, oxygen, and energy-rich electrons. These can fuel microbes in subsurface water, much like bacter...

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...

World May Exhaust 1.5 Degree Celsius Carbon Budget In 3 Years: Scientists
If the world continues to release carbon dioxide at the current rate, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be exhausted in just over three years, according to an international group of scientists.
