Have we found alien life? Hundreds of scientists weigh in

It may seem like we are on the verge of discovering alien life. In 2025, a press release stated that we have the “strongest hints yet” of extraterrestrial life on the exoplanet K2-18b. And when talking about a collected sample from a rock named “Cheyava Falls” on Mars, NASA Administrator Sean Duffy said this was the “closest we have ever come” to discovering life on the red planet.

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is bursting with methanol

Comet 3I/ATLAS is continuing to surprise astronomers. New observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), of which the U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NSF NRAO) is a partner, show that the interstellar visitor contains an unusually large amount of methanol. In fact, its methanol abundance exceeds that seen in almost all known comets from our own solar system.

Chinese scientists find a hidden atomic structure that unlocks methane

Partial oxidation of methane (POM) is considered a promising industrial method for producing syngas, a mixture commonly used to make fuels and chemicals. For years, scientists have assumed that metallic nickel (Ni) nanoparticles serve as the main active centers that drive this reaction. However, there has been an important unresolved question. The metallic Ni observed after a reaction may simply form when nickel oxide is reduced by syngas at high temperatures, rather than representing the species that actually performs the catalysis.

Dark energy debunked? Cosmic acceleration may be an illusion

A new analysis led by researchers at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai, together with Professor Subir Sarkar of the University of Oxford, is challenging one of the central ideas in modern cosmology: that the universe is expanding at an accelerating rate because of "dark energy" associated with the quantum vacuum.

Astronomers detect ancient hydrogen signal that could help map the Universe

Astronomers have directly detected an extraordinarily faint radio signal from hydrogen gas billions of light-years away, demonstrating a promising new method for mapping the vast structure of the Universe.

The international team, led by researchers at the University of Manchester and the University of the Western Cape, used South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope to measure emissions from neutral hydrogen dating to a period when the Universe was several billion years younger than it is today.

Caffeine may flip an ancient cellular switch linked to slower aging

Your morning coffee may be doing more than helping you wake up.

Research from Queen Mary University of London suggests that caffeine can activate an ancient cellular energy system involved in growth, stress resistance, and DNA repair. Those processes are closely tied to aging, which could help explain why caffeine has been linked to potential health benefits in earlier studies.

Volkswagen's Downsizing Starts With Selling A Factory To Israeli Arms Manufacturers - Jalopnik

OSNABRUECK, GERMANY - MARCH 27: The Volkswagen automobile factory is seen on March 27, 2026 in Osnabrueck, Germany. Volkswagen had previously slated the plant, which produces the T-Roc passenger car, to close in 2027, though the company is now in talks with Rafael Advanced Defence Systems of Israel to retool the plant and produce components for the "Iron Dome" missile defence system. The shift would save the factory's 2,300 jobs. (Photo by Hesham Elsherif/Getty Images)
