The Hyksos, who ruled during the 15th Dynasty of ancient Egypt, were not foreign invaders, but a group who rose to power from within, according to a study published by Chris Stantis of Bournemouth University, UK and colleagues.
The Hyksos were a…

The Magnetic History of Ice
The history of our planet has been written, among other things, in the periodic reversal of its magnetic poles. Scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science propose a new means of reading this historic record: in ice.
Their findings, which were…

New type of coupled electronic-structural waves discovered in magnetite
An international team of scientists uncovered exotic quantum properties hidden in magnetite, the oldest magnetic material known to mankind.
The study reveals the existence of low-energy waves that indicate the important role of electronic…

Novel insight reveals topological tangle in unexpected corner of the universe
Scientists find a unique knotted structure — one that repeats itself throughout nature — in a ferroelectric nanoparticle, a material with promising applications in microelectronics and computing.
Just as a literature buff might explore a novel…

‘Hot and messy’ entanglement of 15 trillion atoms
Quantum entanglement is a process by which microscopic objects like electrons or atoms lose their individuality to become better coordinated with each other.
Entanglement is at the heart of quantum technologies that promise large advances in…

The ‘Uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ Myth
‘The uplift of the Tibetan Plateau’ is invoked to explain various phenomena, from monsoon dynamics to biodiversity evolution and everything in between. It’s not accurate, finds a new paper.
The orogeny of the Tibetan region (Tibet, The Himalaya…

The Yeast All Around Us
With people confined to their homes, there is more interest in home-baked bread than ever before. And that means a lot of people are making friends with yeast for the first time. I am a professor of hospitality management and a former chef, and I…

Fossil fuel-free jet propulsion with air plasmas
Humans depend on fossil fuels as their primary energy source, especially in transportation. However, fossil fuels are both unsustainable and unsafe, serving as the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions and leading to adverse respiratory…

To make an atom-sized machine, you need a quantum mechanic
Here’s a new chapter in the story of the miniaturisation of machines: researchers in a laboratory in Singapore have shown that a single atom can function as either an engine or a fridge. Such a device could be engineered into future computers…

Gravitational waves could prove the existence of the quark-gluon plasma
Neutron stars are among the densest objects in the universe. If our Sun, with its radius of 700,000 kilometres were a neutron star, its mass would be condensed into an almost perfect sphere with a radius of around 12 kilometres.
When two neutron…
