Scientists at Goethe University, Frankfurt, have directly measured the zero-point motion of atoms within molecules prepared in their lowest quantum energy state—an achievement the team said was previously considered impossible. Although zero-point motion was predicted by quantum physics due to another theoretical phenomenon called “zero-point energy,” classical physics still cannot explain how this motion can occur in systems lacking thermal …

Quick facts What it is: The Hubble Ultra Deep Field, revisited by the James Webb Space Telescope Where it is: Close to the Big Dipper in the night sky When it was shared: Aug. 1, 2025 The James Webb Space Telescope‘s (JWST) latest extragalactic survey has revealed fainter and more distant objects than ever before, some dating back to the …

Scientists apparently underestimated the aggression of itty-bitty male fiddler crabs when they deployed a friendly robot version during mating season. In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, animal behavior researchers from the UK’s University of Exeter detailed the embarrassing end to their experiment with “Wavy Dave,” a 3D-printed, Bluetooth-controlled crab-bot trained to wave at its …

This photo was captured by the Mars Curiosity rover on July 24. NASA’s Curiosity rover has captured photographs of a rock on Mars that closely resembles coral found on Earth. Two objects were discovered on July 24 inside Gale Crater, both are small, pale rock shaped by wind erosion. Despite their appearance, they are not biological. In a statement, NASA …

Watch: Large fireball seen shooting across sky over Southeastern US A meteorite that crashed into a home in the US is older than planet Earth, scientists have said. The object flew through the skies in broad daylight before exploding across the state of Georgia on 26 June, Nasa confirmed. Researchers at the University of Georgia examined a fragment of the …

Fresh data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed that Pluto’s weather is run by a high-altitude haze, not by its thin mix of nitrogen and methane. “This is unique in the solar system,” said Tanguy Bertrand, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory who led the analysis. His team’s Webb observations show Pluto running a climate …

Sharing a message on Instagram, Hanks wrote: “There are people who dare, who dream and who lead others to the places we would not go on our own. Jim Lovell, who for a long while had gone farther into space and for longer than any other person of our planet, was that kind of guy.” He added: “His many voyages …

What impressed the scientists the most, though, was the versatility of those disks. Reef-associated species of remora like Phtheirichthys lineatus are generalists and stick to various hosts, including other fish, sharks, or turtles. Other species living in the open sea are more specialized and attach to cetaceans, swordfish, or marlins. While most remoras attach to the external tissue of their …

Researchers from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna have demonstrated a precise method for reversing time in a quantum system, achieving an average fidelity of more than 95%. The study, published in Optica, shows that it is possible to make a quantum particle return to a previous state without knowing anything about its internal dynamics—a feat …
