Origami-inspired waveguides could make satellites lighter and easier to launch
Modern satellites rely on electromagnetic waveguides—hollow structures that carry high-power signals between components such as antennas and transmitters.
Today, these waveguides are usually made from...
Dead stars may be hiding the missing mass of galaxy clusters
Galaxy clusters, the largest structures held together by gravity in the universe, may be far heavier than scientists once believed.
New research suggests that much...
Life’s ingredients may have formed in frozen space, not warm water, asteroid study suggests
Scientists studying material from the asteroid Bennu have uncovered new clues about how some of life’s most basic ingredients may have formed long before...
This hair-thin glass microphone can hear electrical sparks before power failures happen
Researchers have created a microphone so thin it looks like a human hair, yet tough enough to survive temperatures as high as 1,000°C.
Made entirely...
Frequent AI chat linked to higher depression risk
Artificial intelligence tools have become part of everyday life for millions of people. Many use AI at work to write emails, summarize documents, or...
This computer uses light instead of electricity—and it solves problems faster than quantum machines
Researchers at Queen's University have built a new kind of computer that uses light instead of electricity—and it works at room temperature, stays stable...
Scientists discover a completely new type of magnetism in atom-thin materials
Scientists at University of Stuttgart have discovered a completely new type of magnetism in materials that are only a few atoms thick.

This flax fiber furniture can be taken apart and reused again and again
Most seating furniture isn’t made to last.
Chairs and benches are often difficult to take apart, awkward to move, and easy to damage.
After just one...
Are there hidden dimensions to the universe
This is Part 1 of a series on large extra dimensions.
I always say that one of the things that separates real science from pseudoscience...
A new organic molecule could store renewable energy for months with almost no loss
One of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy is timing. Wind turbines and solar panels often produce electricity when it is not immediately needed.
A...
AI can read and diagnose brain scans in seconds

Turning garbage into jet fuel: A cleaner sky is on the horizon
Researchers have found a promising way to reduce air pollution by transforming everyday garbage into jet fuel.
This innovative approach could significantly decrease the carbon...
Mini-Neptune planets are losing atmospheres and becoming super-earths
Astronomers have identified two different cases of "mini-Neptune" planets that are losing their puffy atmospheres and likely transforming into super-Earths.
Radiation from the planets' stars...
Black holes don’t always power gamma-ray bursts, shows study
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been detected by satellites orbiting Earth as luminous flashes of the most energetic gamma-ray radiation lasting milliseconds to hundreds of seconds.
Scientists discover high-temperature multiferroic, paving the way for next-gen electronics
Multiferroic materials, which have the special ability to connect magnetism and electricity, are now one step closer to real-world applications.
While most of these materials...
What noise does a fish make? New tool reveals the answer
For decades, ecologists have listened to the underwater world using sound recorders.
These devices capture rich soundscapes filled with cracks, snaps, and thumps, most of...
