Detected by MeerKAT and linked by James Webb to a faint galaxy at redshift z = 2.148, FRB 20240304B offers a view of the Universe when…
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognised discoveries that made it possible to control selected cells with light—an experimental tool, not a routine treatment.
Beneath Romania lie Roman-era mining galleries, monumental salt chambers and industrial networks that reveal a largely unseen history of extraction and engineering.
Reaching 200,000 km is not the end of a car’s life. Here are the components worth checking, from the DPF and turbocharger to the transmission, suspension…
A study combining 103 bat genomes, fossils and biogeographic modelling identifies Europe as the most likely ancestral area for bats—but not a precise modern location.
Beneath Romania’s cities and mountains lies a largely unseen network of civil-defence shelters, railway tunnels, mines and technical infrastructure.
A fossil collection made in Tanzania in 1963 has revealed a new dicynodont species and may revise the dating of rocks containing early dinosaur candidates.
AT 2016blu, a luminous blue variable around 29 million light-years from Earth, undergoes quasi-periodic outbursts that may be fuelled by accretion onto a compact companion.
A newly described tardigrade from Dryas octopetala leaf litter brings the number of recorded tardigrade species in Svalbard to 100.
Two DNA double helices can align side by side despite their negative charges. Researchers directly observed the process and identified the role of divalent metal ions.
A 2025 study suggests that hummingbird flower mites can detect electrical signals and use electrostatic forces to move rapidly between flowers and birds.
Powerful thunderstorms can accelerate electrons to enormous energies, producing terrestrial gamma-ray flashes and, under certain conditions, positrons.
ESA’s Arrakihs mission aims to measure extremely faint stellar light around nearby galaxies, enabling more consistent comparisons of streams, shells and tidal debris.
The world’s loudest birds can produce calls that, when measured at close range under controlled conditions, fall within the same intensity range as a jackhammer or…
The 2026 Draconids coincide with an almost moonless sky over Romania. Here is when to watch, what to expect and why the evening hours are especially…
