An experiment to test a popular theory of dark energy has found no evidence of new forces, placing strong constraints on related theories. Dark energy…
A new animal species related to crabs and shrimp, preserved in 430-million-year-old rocks in Herefordshire, England, presents a rare look at the respiratory organs of…
Scientists have found that molecular oxygen around comet 67P is not produced on its surface, as some suggested, but may be from its body. The…
The discovery changes our understanding of the basic mechanism of photosynthesis and should rewrite the textbooks. It will also tailor the way we hunt for…
The breakthrough means masers – the microwave version of lasers – could now be used more widely in a range of applications. Masers (microwave amplification…
In laser facilities in the UK, Imperial physicists are testing an 84-year-old theory which was once thought impossible to prove. The theory of the Breit-Wheeler…
Ancient microbes may have been producing oxygen through photosynthesis a billion years earlier than we thought, which means oxygen was available for living organisms very…
Scientists at Imperial College London have become the first in the world to test how pathogens interact with artificial human organs. Artificial human organs, or…
