Physicists propose that high-energy photon jets from collapsing stars may be secret factories of heavy elements like plutonium, challenging traditional theories and possibly explaining strange cosmic glows and metal traces in Earth’s crust. One of the biggest unanswered questions in physics is ho
Scientists create a sun-powered artificial leaf that turns sunlight and CO₂ into fuel and chemicals, challenging fossil fuels.
Scientists have demonstrated that a surface reconstruction strategy can enable affordable hydrogen fuel production. The hydrogen fuel is created using The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, scaling this process from a lab experiment to large-scale commercial production has been challenging.
Now, scientists in Japan have showcased that a surface reconstruction pathway can produce durable, non-noble metal-based cathodes that speed up the HER reaction.
Researchers highlighted that they can maintain their performance for more than 300 hours and are calculated to cost very close to the US Department of Energy’s 2026 H2 production target ($2.00 per kgH2-1).
Earth’s atmosphere is much more sensitive to ripples of radiation from the sun than scientists previously believed, new research by Queen’s University Belfast has found.
Solar flares, which are sudden and intense bursts of energy from the sun’s magnetic field, happen regularly.
Understanding how they impact the Earth’s atmosphere is important as very powerful flares can cause inaccuracies in GPS systems and, in extreme cases, can cause total radio blackouts, where all signal is lost.
There are limits to where physics makes meaningful predictions: beyond the Planck length, time, or energy. Here’s why we can’t go further.
With “each 10% increase in UPF contribution to total energy intake, there is a corresponding 2.7% rise in the risk of all-cause mortality,” the study says

The promise of hydrogen as a zero-carbon fuel that is shipped globally, hinges on maritime networks that can safely deliver it as an ultra-cold liquefied gas.
UIC engineers fuse hydrogen and nitrogen for the first time, offering cleaner energy options—but the process carries major environmental and economic risks.
