Embracing the glitches in gravity could give us a unified theory of reality | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The odds of the bet Jonathan Oppenheim made in 2023 are generous, even at 5000 to 1. But if he wins, it could transform our view of the universe. The physicist is wagering that space-time, and therefore gravity, isn’t governed by quantum theory. That swims firmly against mainstream physics, which says gravity must ultimately be quantum, like the rest of the fundamental forces – even if we can’t currently work out how. The wager is playful, but the question is serious, representing perhaps the mo
Physicists are scrambling to make sense of possible dark matter signal | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We may have finally spotted a dark matter particle – but figuring out exactly what kind of particle it was is a daunting task. Even as researchers race to confirm they really did detect an unknown particle, physicists around the world have already started working out what sort of dark matter particle it might have been. The potential particle in question was found at the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector in South Dakota and announced on 1 September. The detector uses a huge tank of liquid xenon to look f
See the dazzling images that won Astronomy Photographer of the Year | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The astonishing diversity of the cosmos is on display in the 2026 Astronomy Photographer of the Year competition, organised by the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, London. From our own solar system to distant nebulae, these images showcase the many wonders we can observe from the ground on Earth. The overall winner (above), The Quiet Predator, was taken by Ali Alobaidly in Kuwait. It shows a dense nebula 650 light years away, in the constellation Cepheus. This cloud of dust, called the Shark nebu
Asteroid hit the moon and flung rocks 120 kilometres from the crater | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A newly formed crater on the moon is teaching us about our nearest neighbour’s complex geology. The crater, formed by an asteroid impact in 2024, is the largest that we’ve ever watched form in real time. It was first spotted last year, when researchers compared sets of images taken by NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter in both 2024 and 2025, and was named McGetchin crater. According to models of how often impacts occur on the moon, one this big – about 222 metres across – is only expected to oc
Two bizarre new forms of ice discovered that could exist deep inside planets | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two new types of ice may help us understand what’s going on inside Neptune and Uranus. These ice giant planets have extremely unusual magnetic fields, which may be explained by strange forms of ice deep under their surfaces. The water ice that we are familiar with in everyday life is just one of more than 20 different phases, each of which has a different crystal structure to its molecules. Under increased temperature and pressure, the hydrogen and oxygen that make up the water rearrange, giving
