Most Americans don’t know that alcohol increases the risk of cancer, according to new research. Despite strong scientific evidence showing that alcohol consumption increases cancer risk, most Americans are unaware of this connection, according to new findings from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. The study revealed that more than half of American…
AI drives innovation throughout the entire cycle of discovery, development and optimization of new materials. Credit: ACS Nano (2025). DOI: 10.1021/acsnano.5c04200 The era has arrived when artificial intelligence (AI) autonomously imagines and predicts the structures and properties of new materials. Today, AI functions as the researcher’s “second brain” and is actively involved in every stage…
A team led by Rice University physicist Frank Geurts has achieved a major milestone in particle physics by measuring the temperature of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) at different stages of its evolution. This plasma is a form of matter that is believed to have filled the universe just a millionth of a second after the big…
The Sun is a powerful source of radio emissions, to the point that, unlike most celestial sources, this emission dominates the system noise of many radio telescopes. The noise resulting from these sources is called “own noise”. Two recent papers analyze self-noise in maps of the Sun at radio frequencies formed using Fourier synthesis imaging…

Male-to-female poisoning of the same species, although rare, has been documented in all venomous taxa. While traditionally interpreted as a coercive mating strategy to enhance male reproductive success and prevent cannibalism, this explanation may not fully explain the behavior of scorpions, which exhibit minor sexual dimorphism in size and complex courtship rituals. This review explores…
