The universe speaks to us in the form of numbers, and appears to us in myriad ways that we have yet to fully discover and understand. Modern Sciences pushes forward into modern-day discussion the different lenses through which we view the universe, and the language we use to commune with it—from beautiful patterns and equations brought forth by the best mathematicians to the latest discoveries that unravel the inner workings of our physical realm.
ETH team cools nanoparticle to quantum ground state at room temp
Scientists have successfully cooled a levitated nanoparticle to its quantum ground state at room temperature, achieving a record-breaking level of purity and paving the way for advanced quantum sensors.
New Datavzrd tool makes data visualization easy, no code needed
The new open-source tool Datavzrd allows scientists to create portable, interactive data reports from complex tables without needing any programming knowledge or specialized software.
Why We Drink The World’s Most Harmful Substance
Despite being the most harmful substance on Earth, alcohol's role as a social lubricant creates a dangerous paradox that society is only now beginning to confront.
Study of 1.1M papers reveals rise of AI in science
A massive analysis of over 1.1 million scientific papers reveals the steady and widespread adoption of AI writing tools by researchers, especially within the field of computer science.
Chemists make elusive carbon ring stable in a vial
Chemists at the University of Oxford have successfully created a stable cyclo[48]carbon ring by encasing it in a protective molecular structure, enabling its study in solution at room temperature for the first time.
The Viewpoint: New Chemical Offers Eco-Friendly Solution for Controlling Destructive Drywood Termites
Scientists have developed a safer termite control method using bistrifluron, a low-toxicity chemical that disrupts molting and wipes out entire colonies over time.
Gut bacteria digest food additives, new study finds
A new study reveals that human gut bacteria can digest common "indigestible" cellulose-based food additives when primed by natural dietary fiber found in fruits and vegetables.
