The first Atlantic storm of the season has formed near the coast of Texas.

Physicists have long been drawn to the nonlinear Hall effect: a subtle variant of the classical Hall effect, in which an electric voltage appears perpendicular to a current flowing through a material. Unlike its classical counterpart, the nonlinear version can arise even without breaking time-reversal symmetry, and its magnitude is tied to deep geometric properties of electron wave functions. So far, however, the behavior of the effect when a magnetic field is applied has remained poorly understood.

After three nominations, a local D.C. spot can now say it has a James Beard award-winning chef.   Susan Bae, the head pastry chef at Vietnamese fusion restaurant Moon Rabbit in downtown D.C., took home the gold with the title of Outstanding Pastry Chef or Baker. She was the only D.C. chef to take home an award from the prestigious ceremony in Chicago on Monday.   Bae called the nomination “surreal” in an interview with News4 earlier this year when she made it to the semifinals. “It is such humbling and honorable moment for all of us here at the restaurant,” Bae said.    Moon Rabbit offers an innovative take on traditional Vietnamese cuisine. Bae serves up mind-blowing pastries where she focuses on Vietnamese flavors she loves, often incorporating savory elements as well.  News4’s Eun Yang profiled Bae back in 2024 as part of her Food Fare series where she showed the process behind creating her desserts. “Usually, I pick out one flavor t

An international research collaboration between the University of Vienna and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States has used machine learning to re-examine one of the most debated signals in astrophysics. The so-called Galactic Center Excess (GCE), a faint, roughly spherical glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way, has fascinated physicists for more than a decade. The new results suggest that an explanation in terms of dark matter cannot currently be ruled out. The results have now been published in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Erling Haaland's girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen, was feeling confident in her PSA before the striker scored two goals to propel Norway to a 4-1 victory over Iraq at Boston Stadium on Tuesday.

A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce cell size without significantly compromising cells' ability to grow. The work, carried out in yeast in collaboration with researchers at Cornell University, is published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Climate change could push UK rivers to dangerous extremes and bring more frequent rapid swings between wet and dry conditions—a phenomenon known as hydroclimatic whiplash—according to research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA). Researchers analyzed almost 700 river catchments across the UK to project how river flows may change at 2° C and 4° C of global warming. The results reveal stark regional contrasts and growing challenges for communities and water managers trying to plan for flood and drought risk, particularly in areas that will increasingly experience both.
