Exclusive: Optical engineering that went into 1,600-year-old Lycurgus Cup has baffled experts for centuriesThe Romans’ proficiency in the art of glass-making has produced some of the wonders of antiquity, but few of their creations better a 1,600-year-old masterpiece which sits in the…
Scientists have discovered how pancreatic cancer cells continually reshape their genetic makeup to become more aggressive, spread, and evade treatment. In laboratory experiments, blocking a key gene reversed some of these dangerous changes, revealing a potential new way to fight the deadly…
A new study with unprecedented access to Atlantic salmon farms in British Columbia raises urgent questions about the federal government's approach to regulating salmon farms and highlights disease risk to wild salmon populations.
The Met Office has issued a fresh wind warning from 18:00 on Monday across the west coast of England, Wales and Scotland and eastern parts of Northern Ireland.
An app and a camera phone are all that’s needed at more than 200 spots to help researchers monitor coastal areasThe shoreline changes with the weather. Tracking these changes over time is a labour-intensive task, and an army of citizen scientists with…
A superconducting material studied for 40 years has turned out to be far more complex than scientists believed. Advanced 3D imaging revealed a hidden patchwork of crystal structures, with unusually wide boundaries that may weaken superconductivity. The discovery challenges decades of scientific…
Science often advances in small steps, with researchers gradually building on previous discoveries. But every now and then, a breakthrough comes along that challenges conventional thinking and changes the direction of a field.
A stretch of water in the west of the continent is now called the Amos Channel after the ex-BBC journalist.
With the climate crisis and diseases threatening one of the world’s most popular fruits, researchers are hoping a breakthrough in breeding techniques could give the Cavendish banana a certain futureLove them or loathe them, bananas are one of the world’s most popular…
A groundbreaking study challenges 70 years of assumptions about how human language works. By analyzing billions of word uses, scientists discovered that meaning is organized around power, danger, and order rather than emotion alone. Even more surprisingly, human language shows a powerful…
Months after a Columbia University School of Nursing–led audit published in the Lancet reported thousands of fabricated citations in medical papers, the same research team has found the same problem in the physical sciences, engineering and computing.
October's full Moon, nicknamed the Hunter's Moon, lit up the night sky this weekend.
Apes in study more likely to choose treats linked to sound of peers having fun, suggesting emotions influence learningOrangutans base their food choices on whether others appear to be having a good time, research suggests.Scientists studying captive orangutans have found that when…
Scientists have proposed a way to detect “mirror life,” a hypothetical form of life that could pose serious risks to humans, animals, and ecosystems if artificially created. Using special fluorescent molecules and a type of polarized light also used in 3D movie…
As the climate changes, protecting wildlife increasingly depends on both the conditions within protected areas and the connections between them. A new study published in Conservation Letters identifies where climatic stability and opportunities for movement coincide in Europe, and where gaps could…
Another area of low pressure will pass close to the north-west UK with a Met Office yellow wind warning issued for Tuesday.
Scientists have discovered that switching off a protein called Mitch makes human cells burn more fat and prevents new fat cells from developing. The breakthrough builds on experiments in mice that showed remarkable resistance to obesity and improved muscular endurance, raising hopes…
A rocky lava planet once thought to be too extreme to have an atmosphere appears to be wrapped in one with a reflective layer of vaporized silicate mineral clouds, the same family of compounds that make up quartz and sand.
The spill of 18 tonnes of plastic pellets happened in July but there is still a lot we do not know.
Researchers have uncovered a surprising reason dental implant infections often resist antibiotics: the implants themselves can contribute to the problem. Bacteria corrode titanium implants, releasing microscopic particles that hijack immune cells, trigger destructive inflammation, and accelerate jawbone loss.
Fairstead Recreation Ground is being planted with wildflowers to benefit insects and pollinators.
A seven-year study found that people with Parkinson’s disease who were more physically active experienced slower declines in memory, thinking, and movement abilities. Those exercising more than eight hours per week showed almost no average cognitive decline, suggesting that staying active may…
Robin Bennett says he created the app after getting frustrated by the amount of rubbish beside roads
A tiny region deep within the brain has surprised scientists by revealing a remarkably sophisticated communication system. Previously thought to broadcast the same chemical signal throughout the brain, this region actually sends targeted messages that help control learning, attention, and behavior, according…
The BBC joins environmental enforcement officers as they sift through illegally-dumped waste for clues.
Forty years after the Chornobyl disaster, tiny radioactive particles still linger in the soil, carrying a dangerous legacy. Using powerful X-rays, scientists discovered that some of these particles have remained surprisingly stable, trapping radioactive substances inside instead of releasing them into the…
Three months on from a devastating wildfire, the RSPB says it will take 20 years to recover.
Cambridge researchers have created a groundbreaking $10 optical sensor that delivers the precision of laboratory equipment in a device small enough for wearable technology. It identified foods, plastics, and medicines with 100% accuracy in tests and demonstrated the ability to monitor blood…
An amber wind warning has now expired after severe weather sweeps across the UK.
A surprising two-year clinical trial found that fish oil supplements successfully delivered omega-3s to the brain but failed to improve memory or protect against Alzheimer's-related brain shrinkage. Researchers suspect that getting these nutrients through a healthy diet may offer benefits that supplements…
From remote monitoring of cattle to automation of processes that took up valuable time, farmers in NI are rapidly becoming skilled in technology.
Scientists have uncovered a strange pattern in urban bird behavior: Across five European countries and 37 species, birds consistently fled sooner when approached by women than men. Researchers have no clear explanation for the difference, raising intriguing questions about how birds recognize…
Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE) said around 12,500 properties were without power at one stage.
Scientists have captured virus-like particles assembling themselves step by step, revealing how a surprisingly simple process of trial and error produces complex structures with remarkable precision. The discovery uncovers a crucial molecular turning point that speeds up assembly and could lead to…
The severe weather brought strong winds and heavy rain to large parts of Scotland.
Honeybees are aggressively pushing wild pollinators away from flowers, with scientists documenting how they chase off rivals and dominate valuable food sources. New research warns that rising temperatures and increasing honeybee populations could intensify this competition, threatening wild bees and other important…
The 60-year-old man was struck by the tree near Castle Douglas as Storm Boelo brought strong winds and heavy rain to Scotland.
Scientists have discovered why common marmosets have unusually small, smooth brains despite starting development much like other primates. The secret lies in subtle changes to brain-building cells that slow neuron production, revealing new clues about how the large, folded human brain evolved.
Flooding, travel disruption and fallen trees - Storm Boelo has left it's mark across Scotland.
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected danger lurking inside cells: too much RNA can damage the structures responsible for producing energy. A new study found that excess RNA, including the normally essential messenger RNA (mRNA), can directly disrupt mitochondria without relying on the…
