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...

Cave Discovery Shows Voyagers Brought Rice Past 2,300Km Of Pacific Ocean
The domesticated rice was transported by the first islanders, who sailed 2,300 kilometres of open ocean from the Philippines about 3,500 years ago. The discovery settles debates and curiosity about the origins and lifestyles of Pacific peoples.

Scientists Observe Rare Plastic Ice, A Hybrid Form of Ice and Water, Under Extreme Pressure and Heat
Researchers have observed plastic ice, a phase where water molecules rotate while staying in a solid structure. The discovery, made under extreme pressure and heat, could provide new insights into the composition of icy exoplanets and moons. The findings suggest plastic ice VII may have existed in Europa and Titan's interiors and could influence nu...

Record-Breaking "Ghost Particle" Found At Bottom Of Mediterranean Sea
Scientists have found the highest-energy cosmic neutrino called a "ghost particle" at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea using a special telescope called KM3NeT.

Ancient Ice Core from Antarctica May Reveal Climate Mysteries from 1.2 Million Years Ago
A team of scientists in Antarctica has extracted a 2.8-kilometre-long ice core from Little Dome C, believed to be 1.2 million years old. The ice core contains trapped air bubbles and volcanic ash, offering valuable data on climate shifts and the Mid-Pleistocene Transition. The research aims to uncover the cause behind significant climatic changes a...

New Cartilage Type Found: Lipocartilage Resembles Fat, Boosts Elasticity
Scientists have identified lipocartilage, a newly classified type of cartilage featuring fat-filled, balloon-like cells that offer elasticity and structural stability. Found in the external ears, noses, and throats of mammals, including humans, this tissue differs from traditional cartilage types by maintaining its size regardless of calorie intake...

Gold-Sulfur Complex Found to Play Crucial Role in Gold Deposit Formation
An international team of scientists, led by Adam Simon, has uncovered the role of a gold-trisulfur complex in gold deposit formation. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how this complex forms in the Earth's mantle under specific pressure and temperature conditions, especially in subduction zones ...
