Government Set to Phase Out Animal Testing and Replace It With Controversial Alternative

But as the details of his plan emerged, a question hung in the air: can microscopic chips…
Inside Calcium Atoms, Physicists Trace Signs of a Hidden Fifth Force
What if the Universe is tugged and shaped by more than the four forces you learned about in school? Behind the familiar ideas of gravity, electromagnetism, and the nuclear forces, physicists are now tracking a faint, puzzling signal hidden in the behaviour of calcium atoms—a tiny bend in the data that refuses to sit neatly…
Where Does Oil Actually Come From? The Answer Isn’t Dinosaurs
Picture yourself at a gas station, pumping fuel into your car. You might imagine, somewhere in the back of your mind, that you’re filling your tank with liquefied velociraptor.

The Tiny Bacterium That Turns Toxic Metal Into Pure 24-Karat Gold
For most of us, gold is something we picture in jewelry stores or deep underground, not growing quietly in polluted soil. Yet scientists have discovered a tiny bacterium, Cupriavidus metallidurans, that can survive in places loaded with toxic metals and, in the process, turn some of that metal into pure 24 karat gold. It does…
Babies Can Sense a ‘Good’ Person From a ‘Bad’ One, Long Before They Can Speak.
Most parents have seen it: your baby relaxes in the arms of one person but stiffens around another. It feels instinctive, almost like your baby can read people before they can speak. While many brush this off as coincidence, science is uncovering something truly interesting, babies may pay attention to kindness and unkindness much earlier…
