Astronomy and space sciences have mostly avoided the fraudulent practices of paper mills and predatory journals, but that might be about to change, warn the authors of a new report that delves into the ugly machinations of criminal organizations that profit from fake science. “Because space is a huge economic priority and many countries are doubling down on space research, …

A massive breakthrough in quantum mechanics has been made. Researchers in Austria have discovered how to reverse the flow of time for a single particle within a quantum system, effectively bending the laws of physics. Does this mean we’re anywhere close to sending people back to the age of dinosaurs? No. We’re a long ways away, and a diagram created …

WASHINGTON — Federal health officials are citing an extensive list of studies purported to document harms caused by messenger RNA vaccines as scientific justification for canceling hundreds of millions of dollars in investment in the technology.  Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. provided only a brief explanation for the decision earlier this week, arguing the mRNA vaccines are not effective …

SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS exist to do one thing: provide accurate, peer-reviewed reports of new research to an interested audience. But according to a paper published in PNAS on August 4th, that lofty goal is badly compromised. Scientific fraud, its authors conclude, happens on a massive scale and is growing quickly. In fact, though the number of scientific articles doubles every 15 …

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. health regulators are warning doctors and patients about safety issues with two separate Boston Scientific heart devices recently linked to injuries and deaths. The Food and Drug Administration issued two alerts Wednesday about electrical problems tied to the company’s heart-zapping defibrillator systems and a separate issue with a heart implant used to reduce stroke risk. The …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 3I/ATLAS, a newly discovered interstellar object, is traversing our solar system, sparking scientific curiosity. 🧬 Its origins are speculated to be from the thick disk of our galaxy, suggesting it may be an ancient relic over eight billion years old. 🔍 Estimated to be 0.6 to 1.2 miles in diameter, its size aligns with previous interstellar …

The hardest math in science has long been a bottleneck, delaying discoveries across physics, chemistry, and climate. But that’s starting to change, as AI slashes equation-solving times from years to minutes. Researchers who once waited a decade for enough computing power or clever tricks to tame complex formulas are now solving them in an afternoon. That leap is …
