Tiny new chip could give cameras super vision beyond human eyes
Researchers have developed a tiny chip that could help cameras and sensors see details that are normally invisible to both people and standard imaging...
Lava planet has hydrogen-rich, active atmosphere
It’s 2158, and you’re chugging away on your PhD in Planetary Volcanology from the University of Utopia Planitia on Mars. Graduate students still get...
Robot dogs could help firefighters safely detect hazardous chemicals
Researchers in Austria have developed a four-legged robot that could make firefighting operations safer by entering dangerous areas and detecting hazardous substances before firefighters...
New water-cooling technology could make AI chips 10 times more energy efficient
Artificial intelligence is transforming the world, but it also comes with a growing energy problem.
Modern AI systems require enormous computing power, and the powerful...
Dogs and humans age in similar ways, surprising study finds
Dogs may have more in common with humans than just sharing our homes and routines.
A new study has found that the same biological signals...
Swallowable ‘blueberry’ sensor could transform how we monitor body temperature
A tiny electronic sensor that can be swallowed like a pill may soon provide one of the most accurate ways to measure body temperature.

Simple color signals could help people learn to control prosthetic limbs faster
Using a robotic arm or prosthetic hand may seem straightforward, but it actually requires very precise control.
Even a simple task, such as picking up...
How drones could leap from water into the air like birds and rays
Watching a seabird burst out of the ocean or a mobula ray launch itself into the air makes the transition from water to sky...
A 5.3-million‑year‑old whale graveyard has been found on the floor of the Indian Ocean
When a whale dies, a very special natural phenomenon can come alive.
The carcass might float at the surface for some time, attracting sharks and...
A star’s death throes involves a lot of kicking
When stars like our Sun age, they puff up into red giants.
Their bubbling outer mass gradually escapes into space, and their remaining cores contract...
Scientists create artificial eye that could transform self-driving cars
Self-driving cars and advanced robots rely on cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to understand the world around them.
However, these systems often struggle when lighting...

New anti-aging chemistry could overcome next-gen lithium battery decay
For high-voltage lithium batteries using layered transition metal oxide cathodes, the chemical degradation of the battery's electrolytes results in rapid decay of its capacity.
This...
Gravity telescope could image exoplanets, shows Stanford study
In the time since the first exoplanet was discovered in 1992, astronomers have detected more than 5,000 planets orbiting other stars.
But when astronomers detect...
Scientists suggest dark matter might have collisional properties
Recent research suggests that dark matter, previously thought to be non-collisional, might actually interact with itself.
This conclusion comes from a study led by Riccardo...
Why toothpaste and cement harden over time
Take a look inside the cap of your favorite toothpaste, and you might see hard, white residue, a firm version of the smooth paste...
Finding a better way to distinguish life from non-life
The search for life on other worlds needs a way to sift through the chemistry of their atmospheres.
If another species observed Earth to search...
