China to Reportedly Activate Powerful X-Ray Light Source to Reveal Atomic Structure of Proteins
China is about to launch the High Energy Photon Source (HEPS), a state-of-the-art synchrotron capable of providing high-resolution x-ray imaging. Expected to begin operations in late December, HEPS will enable scientists to explore atomic-level structures in materials and proteins. This new facility, costing $657 million, will offer advanced capabi...

New Child Fossil Teeth Reveal Why Humans Developed an Unusually Long Childhood
Research on fossil teeth from a 1.77-million-year-old early Homo specimen challenges the "big brain, long childhood" hypothesis. The study suggests that the extended childhood seen in humans may have evolved as a result of cultural transmission, not just brain growth. By analysing dental growth patterns, scientists show that Homo’s development wa...

Russia Delays Key Science Projects: Everything You Need to Know
Russia has postponed its SKIF Photon Source, Kurchatov Synchrotron Radiation Source modernisation, and neutron research expansion due to trade sanctions and budget issues. The sanctions restrict access to specialised equipment needed for these projects, now dependent on alternative sources. Officials remain optimistic about completing them by adjus...
