World-leading UK science facilities at risk amid £162m funding crisis
Diamond Light Source and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source face cuts of up to 20% as Science and Technology Facilities Council seeks savings Britain’s scientific capabilities face “serious damage” with some national facilities at risk of closure under spending cuts that are being considered to meet sp...
Theoretical model developed to understand how isotopes change spectroscopy results
When researchers want to uncover what atoms make up a material, they turn to a number of tried-and-true spectroscopy methods. Spectroscopy works by shining a specific type of light onto a substance and then analyzing how that light is either absorbed, emitted, or scattered. Every atom has a dif...
Artificial intelligence shines a light on hidden global migration flows
Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10. 1038/d41586-026-01588-4 Training a neural network to collate data from several sources provides a high-resolution view of how people are moving around the world.
Light-induced quantum friction of carbon nanotubes in water
Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10. 1038/s41586-026-10632-2 Near-infrared fluorescent carbon nanotubes exhibit light-induced quantum friction in water, in which exciton interactions slow nanoscale motion and enable optical control of diffusion and fluid dynamics.
Light slows down carbon nanotubes in water
Nature, Published online: 10 June 2026; doi:10. 1038/d41586-026-01701-7 Water-suspended carbon nanotubes move more slowly in green light, suggesting that excited electrons in the tubes couple to the water through ‘quantum friction’.
Hardy ice plant's optical innovation inspires reflective design possibilities
Nature is filled with remarkable visual phenomena created by microscopic surface structures that interact with light in fascinating ways. The iridescent wings of butterflies, the shimmering feathers of birds and the glossy surfaces of flower petals are all examples of how living organisms contro...
These record-breaking black hole winds could create a category 79 hurricane on Earth
Astronomers have discovered a distant quasar powered by a feeding supermassive black hole blasting out winds at record-breaking speeds for such an outflow seen in ultraviolet light, traveling at 30% the speed of light.
