These tiny holes could change how the world cleans water

A team of researchers from the CSIR-Central Salt and Marine Chemicals Research Institute (CSMCRI), the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and the S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences has developed a new type of highly precise filtration membrane. The study, published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, describes a technology that could help industries cut energy use and dramatically increase water reuse.

Giant underground neutrino detector brings scientists closer to cracking the neutrino puzzle

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) has achieved its first major scientific milestone. On June 10, Nature published the experiment's debut physics result as a cover article.

Using 59 days of validated data collected between August 26 and November 2, 2025, the international JUNO Collaboration, led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, made highly precise measurements of two fundamental neutrino oscillation parameters. The analysis reduced the uncertainties in those measurements by a factor of 1.6 compared with the combined results from previous experiments conducted over several decades.

2026 Polestar 4 Long Range and Performance Dual Motor

06/11/26 UPDATE: This review has been updated with instrumented test results.

From the March/April 2026 issue of Car and Driver.

Photography began with a pinhole, which was used to project a world that had previously only been drawn or painted. The problem was that the image arrived upside down and reversed. Mirrors and glass refined the art, and eventually, we got things pointed in the right direction. And now, here comes the Polestar 4, replacing the rear window with a roof-mounted camera and a digital rearview mirror to stir up some drama.

Scientists discover a strange property in rice and turn it into a smart material

Rice is best known as one of the world's most important food crops, but scientists have now shown it could also help inspire a new generation of smart materials.

Researchers discovered that packed rice grains behave in an unusual way under pressure. When compressed slowly, the grains remain relatively strong. But when squeezed quickly, they actually become weaker. This surprising behavior has allowed scientists to create a new material that could one day be used in soft robots that automatically adjust their stiffness and protective equipment that responds differently depending on the force of an impact.
