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…

Back to Article List Today in the history of astronomy, the father of radio astronomy is born. Though his ideas seemed wild at the time, much of Nikola Tesla’s work laid the foundation for future astronomy research and robotic space exploration.

According to many true-believers, the biggest promise of AI is its potential to accelerate scientific discovery; once-in-a-generation breakthroughs could one day become routine, thanks to algorithms. By extracting patterns from troves of data far too vast for any human mind to fathom, so the thinking goes, AI scientists could eventually help solve some of humanity’s…

Researchers at Stanford University found that AI is also transforming scientific discovery by helping scientists to analyse complex data, generate hypotheses and formulate experiments faster than old methods. AI is entering multiple sectors, including biology, medicine, engineering, and astrophysics, to overcome limitations connected to time, resources, and data complexity. AI is also playing an increasingly…

When China tightened export licences on seven rare-earth elements in April 2025, Western governments responded in the same way as they have to every other critical-minerals shock of the past five years. The European Union accelerated the issuing of extraction permits under the Critical Raw Materials Act. The United States expanded subsidies for domestic refining…
