Researchers have developed a new material that, by harnessing the power of sunlight, can clear water of dangerous pollutants. Created through a combination of soft chemistry gels and electrospinning—a technique where electrical force is applied to liquid to craft small fibers—the team constructed thin fiber-like strips of titanium dioxide (TiO₂), a compound often utilized in solar cells, gas sensors and various self-cleaning technologies.

New DESI results strengthen hints that dark energy may evolveby Tatyana WoodallColumbus OH (SPX) Mar 20, 2025 The discovery of dark energy, nearly 30 years ago, was already the biggest surprise of my scientific lifetime," said David Weinberg, a professor of astronomy at Ohio State who also contributed to the DESI analysis.
How you can change your body's threshold for pain

Pain likely began as a curious evolutionary advantage, helping organisms react to injury quickly and escape while also teaching them to avoid similarly harmful situations in the future. Nowadays, most humans would go to great lengths to avoid feeling pain. But there are some who dedicate their lives to conquering the sensation, pushing their minds and bodies beyond typical physical limits to achieve dangerous, hair-raising feats.
New DESI results strengthen hints that dark energy may evolve

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Researchers see hints that dark energy, widely thought to be a “cosmological constant,” might be evolving over time in unexpected ways. New results from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration, one of the most extensive surveys of the cosmos ever conducted, reveal that the impact of dark energy may be weakening over time — and the standard model of how the universe works may need an update.
