Biological computers could use far less energy than current technology by working more slowly
Modern computers are a triumph of technology.
A single computer chip contains billions of nanometer-scaled transistors that operate extremely reliably and at a rate of...
Scientists detect antimatter version of Hyperhelium-4: A new milestone in physics
Scientists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have made an exciting discovery—the antimatter version of hyperhelium-4.
This achievement, reported by the ALICE collaboration, marks the...
Antimatter propulsion is still far away, but it could change everything
Getting places in space quickly has been the goal of propulsion research for a long time.
Rockets, our most common means of doing so, are...
Small but mighty: MIT scientists spot tiny asteroids in the main belt
Astronomers at MIT have made a groundbreaking discovery, spotting the smallest asteroids ever detected in the main asteroid belt—a region between Mars and Jupiter...
Scientists discover sun-like stars produce superflares every 100 years
The sun, our temperamental star, is known for its powerful solar storms.
These storms can cause dazzling auroras and even disrupt technology on Earth.
But could...
How supermassive black holes in the early universe grew so fast
Not long ago, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) peered into Cosmic Dawn, the cosmological period when the first galaxies formed less than one...
Do the fastest spinning pulsars contain quark matter
Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons.
They form when the core of a large star...
Scientists unlock the secrets of superconductivity in iron-based materials
Scientists from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) have made a breakthrough in understanding how superconductivity works in an iron-based material.
Their findings, published in...
Could tiny black holes be hiding in planets or even everyday objects?
When you think of black holes, you probably imagine massive stars collapsing under their own gravity.
But scientists have long theorized the existence of primordial...
Could primordial black holes be hiding in plain sight
Are Primordial Black Holes real?
They could’ve formed in the unusual physics that dominated the Universe shortly after the Big Bang.
The idea dates back to...
