A media sting found visitors could buy their way past security checkpoints into the protected core of China's Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST, with a hotel inside selling rooms bundled with 'close-up' viewing slots.
Physicists at Tsinghua University have run a clock driven by the nucleus of thorium-229, not its electrons, pushing precision measurement into new territory. The result, published in Nature, was achieved alongside a European team.
The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics honors Francis Halzen for turning a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice into IceCube, a detector that caught high-energy neutrinos from deep space.
Venus has almost no magnetic field and sits closer to the Sun than Earth, yet its atmosphere is far denser. Scientists say the answer lies in mass, gravity and a slow, steady escape — not a magnetic shield.
A joint Chinese-European spacecraft called SMILE has passed its in-orbit tests and begun full science operations, releasing its first images of how the solar wind collides with Earth's magnetic field. Several results are described as world firsts.
