Scientists have successfully created a new compound that incorporates helium atoms into crystalline iron, a discovery that could help explain the presence of helium in Earth’s interior. This breakthrough suggests that the planet’s iron-rich core may hold a deep reservoir of primordial helium, which was formed shortly after the Big Bang. The findings could also…
The FBI, EPA, and Treasury Department have requested Citibank to freeze accounts of several nonprofits and state government agencies that received funding from the $27 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. This move has sparked concerns about the future of green initiatives and the potential for climate-related funding to be clawed back. The EPA administrator has…
Researchers in France have made a breakthrough in quantum sensing by developing a hybrid system that combines the precision of quantum devices with the robustness of classical sensors. The new technique uses trapped ultracold atoms to detect acceleration and rotation, and when paired with a classical inertial sensor, it can measure inertial quantities with unprecedented…
A recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour has found that postdoctoral students and graduate students in large research groups are more likely to drop out of academia than their peers in smaller groups. However, researchers trained in large groups who stay in academia tend to have more career success. The study analyzed data from…

Recent studies have revealed that Uranus emits more energy than it receives from the sun, contradicting previous findings from the Voyager spacecraft. This discovery suggests that Uranus has internal heat, likely leftover from its birth, and raises questions about the planet’s unique characteristics, such as its axial tilt of 98 degrees. Forecast for 6 months:…
OpenAI has accused Chinese AI lab DeepSeek of being “state-subsidized” and “state-controlled,” recommending that the U.S. government consider banning its models. The proposal, part of the Trump administration’s “AI Action Plan” initiative, claims that DeepSeek’s models pose security risks due to Chinese law requirements for user data compliance. The move marks an escalation of OpenAI’s…
Researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics have simulated the effects of a medium-sized asteroid impact on Earth’s climate. The study reveals that such an event would lead to a dramatic disruption of the climate, atmospheric chemistry, and global photosynthesis. The impact would cause a “global impact winter” with reduced sunlight, cold temperatures, and…
Mathematicians at New York University’s Courant Institute and the University of British Columbia have finally solved the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture, a problem that has puzzled experts for over a century. The solution, which involves finding the most efficient way to point a pencil in every direction while minimizing the space it moves through, has far-reaching…
US President Donald Trump’s nominee for NIH director, Jay Bhattacharya, has expressed his commitment to ensuring scientists have the funding they need to do their work. However, his confirmation hearing raised concerns about his stance on COVID-19 and his priorities for the agency. Bhattacharya’s plans for reform, including a focus on chronic disease research and…
