Physicists link the Riemann Hypothesis to phase transitions in quantum systems (study)

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope takes us 4.4 billion years in the past with this July 3, 2026, image of a young galaxy cluster, MACS J0553.4-3342. The cluster is composed of two actively merging sub-clusters, roughly equal in mass. Each sub-cluster is anchored on an immensely bright and massive elliptical galaxy, easily identifiable as the…

A new study suggests that doctors could improve cure rates by changing therapies before a tumor has a chance to recover. Rather than waiting for cancer to return after an initial treatment, the researchers propose switching to another therapy while the tumor is still shrinking. The strategy is designed to address one of the biggest…

We know that air pollution is bad for us, and if we think about it, it’s probably obvious that it’s particularly bad for our lungs. But many people don’t realize how much it affects many other bodily systems. Pollutants in the air don’t just get into our lung tissue and stay there. The tiniest pollutants…

NASA’s planned nuclear-powered mission to Mars is expected to cost more than $2 billion, as the agency pushes ahead with what would become the first demonstration of nuclear electric propulsion in space, Politico writes. The mission, known as Space Reactor-1 Freedom (SR-1 Freedom), is projected to cost around $2.1 billion, according to NASA, although the…

Scientists may have found a way to destroy cancer cells without initially relying on chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation. The approach is called ‘molecular jackhammer’, and it relies on little more than light and a well-established medical molecule. The technique involves using aminocyanine molecules – synthetic dyes already widely used in medical imaging – and stimulating…
