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 […]

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
Size does matter.
