A procedure similar to the one depicted above uses a patient’s tooth as part of the ocular implant. Credit: Deposit Photos A trio of Canadians are on track to become the country’s first residents to have their eyesight restored thanks in part to their teeth. Osteo-odonto keratoprosthesis, more commonly known as “tooth-in-eye” surgery, involves harvesting…

Clearly, the timing of this article will lead many to dismiss it out of hand as “cope.” However, the recent change in the U.S. executive and legislative branches is not the heart of this matter. The United States of America is still, despite factors such as tariffs and income inequality, a consumer economy, and consumers…
The modern movie business is built on sequels. Rarely, if ever, does a box office smash get to remain just one film, and even some middling flicks from every genre get expanded into whole franchises. And it’s not difficult to see why—name recognition gets paying audiences into the cinema. However, while financiers and producers are…
Artist’s illustration showing India’s Aditya-L1 spacecraft investigating the sun. (Image credit: IRSO/ Robert Lea/) India’s first sun-studying spacecraft, Aditya-L1, has captured one of our star’s fiery outbursts in new detail. From its vantage point about 1 million miles (1.5 million kilometers) from Earth, Aditya-L1 gets an uninterrupted view of our sun, allowing the probe to…
Jets spewing from Saturn’s moon Enceladus. (Image credit: NASA/JPL/SSI) Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus has long been considered a potential home for life in our solar system. In 2005, NASA’s Cassini spacecraft first discovered towering plumes of water vapor erupting from the moon’s frozen surface, for instance, and it was later theorized that these geysers come…
An Incoming solar storm could strike Earth tonight, triggering geomagnetic storm conditions and northern lights as far south as New York and Idaho.

New observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope support the presence of three specific features — clouds, hot spots, and changing carbon chemistry — in the atmosphere of the rapidly rotating, free-floating planetary-mass object SIMP J013656.5+093347.

Ultrahigh energy cosmic rays are the highest-energy particles in the Universe, whose energies are more than a million times what can be achieved by humans. Professor Farrar proposes that binary neutron star mergers are the source of all or most ultrahigh energy cosmic rays; this scenario can account for the heretofore inexplicable narrow rigidity range…
