Fastest-Moving Stars in the Galaxy May be Piloted by Aliens, New Study Suggests
A recent study proposes that advanced alien civilisations might utilise binary star systems, especially those involving neutron stars, as massive interstellar spacecraft. By ejecting material in specific directions, the stars could generate thrust, moving the system across the galaxy. Known hypervelocity stars with unusual accelerations are suggest...

Bio-Based Fibres Might Be A Bigger Environmental Threat Than Plastics, New Study Finds
A study from the University of Plymouth and University of Bath raises concerns about bio-based fibres. While often marketed as eco-friendly, these fibres may cause greater ecological harm than conventional plastics. Exposure to viscose and lyocell, commonly found in clothing and wet wipes, resulted in high mortality rates in earthworms, crucial for...

Mayonnaise Plays Unexpected Role in Understanding Nuclear Fusion Dynamics
Researchers at Lehigh University are investigating how mayonnaise can aid in understanding material behaviours during nuclear fusion experiments. By simulating the conditions in which fuel capsules melt and transition from elastic to plastic states, they hope to gain insights that can improve fusion reactions.

Earth's Crust is ‘Dripping’ Beneath Turkey’s Konya Basin, Revealing Unique Geological Phenomenon
Researchers have uncovered a remarkable geological phenomenon beneath Türkiye’s Central Anatolian Plateau, where dense materials from Earth’s crust are detaching and sinking into the mantle below. This process, known as multi-stage lithospheric dripping, has been shaping the Konya Basin’s surface and provides crucial insights into Earth’s ...

Lithium-Ion Battery Degradation Might Be Linked With Leaking Hydrogen Protons, Study Finds
Researchers from the University of Colorado Boulder have identified hydrogen molecules as a key factor in lithium-ion battery degradation. This discovery could lead to the development of longer-lasting batteries, which would enhance the driving range of electric vehicles and improve renewable energy storage. By addressing issues like self-discharge...

Indian Researchers Find a New Technique to Control Defects in MOF-Based Supercapacitors
Researchers at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST), Mohali, have developed a new laser-based method to precisely control defects in MOF-based supercapacitors. This technique significantly enhances energy storage performance without altering the MOF’s crystal structure. By adjusting laser power, scientists increased the electrode's...

Superconductors at Room-Temperature Possible If Electron Pairing Can Be Decoded, Claims Study
Physicists have recently observed an unexpected phenomenon in a superconducting material, potentially pushing the boundaries of what's possible in this field. The discovery centres on a material typically known as an electrical insulator. In this insulator, researchers found that electrons could pair up at temperatures as high as minus 123 degrees ...

Virtual Autopsy Shows 'Screaming Woman' Mummy Endured Agonising Death
A virtual autopsy of the "Screaming Woman" mummy, discovered in Egypt in 1935, reveals a dramatic and painful death, with her face frozen in a scream due to a cadaveric spasm. This condition occurs when muscles stiffen immediately before death, often due to extreme distress. The study, published on August 2, 2024, in Frontiers in Medicine, highligh...
