A happy accident lead to a breakthrough that may prove to be revolutionary in physics and beyond.
On this ultra-hot gas giant, the weather report for today is cloudy, with a chance of molten iron falling from the sky.
Cooling some materials first can make them heat faster. Heating some materials can make them freeze faster.
Physicists have proposed a number of candidate particles to explain dark matter, but they were all hypothetical -- until now.
It's geology on fast forward.
It's cheap, eco-friendly, and actually outperforms synthetic glue in certain cases.
The results from New Horizon's New Year's Day Flyby of Kuiper Belt Object Arrokoth are in, and it could just change how we think about planet formation.
Surgeons or astronauts could touch objects more naturally wearing gloves equipped with these sensors.
A team of researchers from the US and China has developed a passive, solar-powered desalinization system that could quench the thirst of remote, arid coastal areas on the cheap. The system employs several layers of solar evaporators and condensers stacked on top of each other in a vertical array, topped off with an insulating layer […]
You can now preserve the memory of your loved ones by turning their ashes into diamonds.
The study of the Kuiper Belt body Arrokoth promises to change how we believe the building blocks of planets form. Thus revealing more about how planets such as the Earth are born.
New research has uncovered the presence of at least thirteen ‘wandering’ black holes in dwarf galaxies. Something, that until recently was not believed possible.
You can't adapt to gettin' stabbed.
LEGOs and quantum computers? Yup!
The planet's magnetic north pole is shifting at an alarming rate. Luckily, our magnetic model has received a much needed update.
The findings may prove to be revolutionary.
As the Hans Sigrist Prize is claimed by Ignas Snellen for groundbreaking exoplanet research, the message is clear--the search for other worlds is heating up.
A much needed upgrade to the LIGO detector enables scientists to cast a wider net to catch gravitational waves.
The ESA's CHEOPS satellite launches later this month with the mission to select exoplanets suitable for in-depth investigation.
Black holes and neutron stars are the densest and most mysterious objects in the universe, and researchers may have figured out the source of the light they emit.
Classic science, budding its way into something that's been going on for millennia.
Astronomers have identified a runaway star travelling at an incredible 6 million kilometres per hour, ejected by the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy 5 million years ago.
The mystery of how complex carbon molecules--buckyballs-- came to be detected in interstellar space may have been solved.
Researchers have used ground-penetrating radar to find overlapping tracks from 12,000 years ago.
Unsinkable ships could become a reality with such technology.
This is not good news.
The uncertainty principle provides a constant hindrance to the sensitivity of equipment such as LIGO's interferometer and new research shows, avoiding it is going to be even harder than we had believed.
Sick of plastic waste? So are these researchers.
Some bubbles were up to 750 feet (228 meters) across.
In smaller galaxies, large-scale winds from active black holes could hinder the formation of stars.
A new record for the most atoms placed in a quantum superposition simultaneously has been set by researchers - pushing the boundary of massive particles showing quantum effects.
It's a space-time-bender!
Brilliant art for brilliant scientists.
An international team of scientists has attempted to test the effects of gravity on quantum entanglement using the Micius Quantum Satellite - a first for testing quantum physics in space.
Fantastic weather and how to predict it.
If you’ve ever been envious of chameleons, rejoice! New research is bringing their color-changing properties to a dye near you. Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have designed a new, reprogrammable ink that can change color when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) and visible light sources. Dubbed “PhotoChromeleon,” the dyes can be […]
Researchers have shown that cement can work in space. Next-up: concrete.
Thankfully, they almost always strike on water.
What's shocking is that even when he had a 'bad' idea, Einstein was still brilliant!
They're not big.
Each of the group's 347 scientists, will get around US$8,600.
Cities can be stifling.
Clues pointing towards a volcanically active exomoon hidden outside our solar system — a violent and dangerous world — have been discovered by astronomers.
Quantum World of Warcraft, here I come.
A new insulating material that's 50,000 times thinner than a sheet of paper could make electronics even more compact.
The device is paving the way for deep space GPS.
We still don't know what dark energy *is*, but we found out another thing it isn't.
The team says their technique could lead to devices that don't scratch or shatter, metal-free pacemakers, or electronics for harsh environments.
Nifty.
While the system is extremely complex and difficult to handle, the results are also worth it
