What if your next cookie were made from discarded plastic bottles instead of conventional ingredients? Researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale are working on a futuristic food concept that does exactly that — at least...

For nearly half a century, physicists have searched for a strange particle that would rewrite one of the simplest assumptions about matter: that particles are built from other particles. Now, researchers working with the BESIII...

More than 200,000 barrels containing radioactive waste were dumped into the Northeast Atlantic over several decades. Now, scientists are going back to the deep ocean to find out what happened to those containers — and...

What happens when two exotic quantum materials are placed directly against each other? Scientists have found that the answer can be stranger than either material on its own. Researchers have observed unusual electronic behaviour at...

For nearly five decades, physicists have searched for an unusual type of particle that would contain no quarks at all. Now, experiments at China’s Beijing Electron Positron Collider II may have provided the strongest evidence...

The ancient dead may not be entirely silent. Researchers are warning that mummified human and animal remains being sold online could carry fungi and other microbes capable of posing health risks to people who handle,...

A protein that predates the evolution of the human circulatory system could hold an unexpected key to improving cancer immunotherapy. Researchers at Japan’s Nagoya University found that complement C3 can help immunotherapy work more effectively...

A mysterious new species of eyeless cavefish has been discovered beneath one of the United States’ most unexpected locations: NASA’s Redstone Arsenal in Alabama. Named Demogorgonichthys arcanus—a nod to the mythological demogorgon and the Latin...

A man from England has made extraordinary claims that he was sent more than 2,400 years into the future during a secret British government time-travel experiment. Speaking in a YouTube interview on Apex TV, Lewis...
