Sixty-six research teams, comprising 239 scientists from around the globe, will receive a total of €684 million in Synergy Grants 2025 from the European Research Council (ERC).
Physicists from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute in Shanghai have taken a new approach to one of the most profound mysteries in science: whether all black holes conform to Einstein’s theory of general relativity or if alternative forms could exist.
An incredible view of a stellar nursery was captured by Euclid when its infrared camera peered through the LDN 1641 dark cloud in Orion. This ability to see past obscuring dust demonstrates the telescope's power as it embarks on its primary mission: mapping the dark Universe.
Astronomers have captured a haunting image of a vast nebula, dubbed the “cosmic bat,” spreading its crimson wings 10,000 light-years away. This massive stellar nursery, captured by ESO's VST, glows as newborn stars ignite gas and dust.
Scientists have finally found direct evidence of small-scale torsional Alfvén waves in the Sun’s corona, solving an 80-year-old solar mystery. These elusive magnetic waves could be the energy source that powers the Sun’s multi-million-degree outer atmosphere.
A world-first study proves microbes essential for human health can survive the extreme forces of a space rocket launch and re-entry unharmed.
This finding by RMIT University is a major step toward sustaining life on long-duration missions to Mars.
From the birth of quantum mechanics to the cutting edge of nanoscience and the deepest reaches of fundamental physics, this article explores how our understanding of the universe has evolved—from the scale of everyday experience down to the Planck length.
This September, Europe has taken steps in advancing its green transition with the opening of the continent’s largest rare earth magnet factory in Narva, Estonia.
Researchers at the University of Warwick have created a quantum diamond sensor, a diamond-based magnetometer capable of accurately detecting cancer cells.
Tackling space debris and safety: The Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed an innovative system to detect and characterise orbital debris. This technology offers crucial information on the growing junk field around Earth.
A new advancement in quantum technology is emerging from the University of Colorado Denver, where an electrical engineering professor has developed a silicon-based chip capable of generating powerful electromagnetic fields.
Columbia University researchers have discovered a new way to create quantum materials. By utilising the chemistry of atomic orbitals, they've found a novel source of "frustration" that leads to complex quantum behaviours
Quantum computing can solve problems that are too complicated for standard machines, but understanding when and how this "quantum advantage" will be realised has remained a significant question.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has completed its comprehensive imaging of the Sombrero galaxy, revealing its huge stellar bulge and intricate dust disk in stunning near-infrared detail. These observations are key to understanding the galaxy's turbulent past and evolution.
