Hypothetical fourth neutrino flavour is absent from new data from Fermilab's NOvA experiment
Effect observed in 2020 arises from changes in nuclear structure, not new physics
New coarser-grained alloys are strong enough to challenge stainless steel and titanium as materials for orthopaedic implants, say researchers
New simulations reveal that the climate, atmospheric chemistry and even global photosynthesis would be dramatically disrupted by an asteroid collision
New finding could pave the way to a sustainable perovskite solar economy
Patterned armour-like structure filters out damaging frequencies, say researchers
