CERN experiment captures evidence of a rare particle decay that could test physics theories

A Cambridge-led international team detected evidence of a beauty particle decaying into two muons, a rare process that could help physicists investigate particles and forces beyond the Standard Model.

Khalifa University and Sanofi launch genomic research partnership to study asthma and COPD in UAE

The research collaboration will use data from the Emirati Genome Program and Abu Dhabi’s Malaffi health information exchange to examine genetic factors associated with the two chronic respiratory diseases.

Cornell researchers identify material with two forms of superconductivity, advancing quantum research

Experiments on uranium ditelluride have shown that two distinct superconducting states can coexist in the material, making it a leading candidate for a topological superconductor, a development that could eventually support advances in quantum computing.

Brown University team joins NASA mission to study giant planets from Antarctica

The EXCITE infrared telescope will travel aboard a high-altitude balloon to around 130,000 feet above Earth, allowing researchers to study the atmospheres of exoplanets known as hot Jupiters.

Flint water contamination researcher Siddhartha Roy wins 2026 Maddox Prize

The Rutgers University scientist has been recognised for defending evidence on lead contamination in Flint, Michigan, despite facing opposition and threats. Kerala-based liver specialist Cyriac Abby Philips was also among this year’s nominees.

MIT develops snake-inspired soft robot to help diagnose small intestine disorders

The robotic device can navigate the narrow, winding passage of the small intestine and perform imaging, tissue biopsies and drug delivery, potentially making difficult diagnostic procedures easier to carry out.

Oxford researchers turn historic plant collection into a window on colonial science

Researchers at the University of Oxford are examining a historic plant collection to investigate how Indigenous knowledge and colonial-era exchanges shaped the development of botanical science in Britain.
