LHC finds intriguing new clues about our universe's antimatter mystery 17. March 2025 (17:00) Analysing the aftermath of particle collisions has revealed two new instances of “CP violation”, a process that explains why our universe contains more matter than antimatter(New Scientist)
Rolling boulders on Titan could threaten NASA's Dragonfly mission 17. March 2025 (15:00) The wind on Saturn's largest moon is strong enough to blow around rocks of up to half a metre in diameter, which could put NASA's upcoming Dragonfly mission at risk(New Scientist)
Gravity may arise from quantumness of space 17. March 2025 (12:00) Scientists have long sought the particle that carries the force of gravity, but a new theoretical model tosses out that idea entirely – and shows how it could be tested in experiments(New Scientist)
Giant Milky Way-like galaxy formed unusually soon after the big bang 17. March 2025 (11:00) The Big Wheel, discovered using the James Webb Space Telescope, formed just 2 billion years after the big bang - surprisingly early for a spiral galaxy of a similar size to our Milky Way(New Scientist)
What makes a good day a good day, according to science 17. March 2025 (10:00) Surveys that ask thousands of people how they spend their time have revealed some surprising activities that seem to make any given day a good one(New Scientist)
We may have discovered how dark oxygen is being made in the deep sea 14. March 2025 (18:00) A newly discovered mechanism could explain the shock finding last year that oxygen is produced by metallic nodules on the seafloor – and it might be happening on other planets, too(New Scientist)
Mathematicians solve 125-year-old problem to unite key laws of physics 14. March 2025 (17:00) Can one single mathematical framework describe the motion of a fluid and the individual particles within it? This question, first asked in 1900, now has a solution that could help us understand the complex behaviour of the atmosphere and ocean.(New Scientist)
