Scientists observe long-predicted “clock magnetism” in an atomically thin crystal
When scientists shrink materials down to extremely thin layers—sometimes just a single atom thick—their behavior can become very unusual.
A new study has now revealed...
AI can detect hormone disease from hand photos
Scientists in Japan have developed a new artificial intelligence system that can help detect a rare hormone disease by looking only at photographs of...
New material could replace indium in displays and solar cells
Scientists have developed a new type of transparent electrode that avoids the use of indium, a rare and expensive metal widely used in modern...
Scientists unlock sulfur’s potential for cheaper, high-capacity EV batteries
As electric vehicles and electric aircraft become more common, the world’s demand for lithium-ion batteries is rising rapidly.
According to S&P Global Insights, battery demand...
AI blood test could detect pancreatic cancer much earlier
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of cancer in the world. Many patients do not know they have the disease until...
AI can detect Alzheimer’s years earlier by reading tiny brain changes
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most feared illnesses of old age. It slowly destroys memory, thinking ability, and independence. As the disease progresses,...
Scientists design ice-controlling proteins to help the U.S. operate in extreme arctic cold
As the Arctic becomes a region of growing strategic competition, operating in its harsh environment remains a major challenge.
Extremely low temperatures, ice buildup, and...
A simple mineral could help solve the data center energy crisis
Data centers are the backbone of the modern internet.
They store photos, stream movies, power cloud services, and train artificial intelligence systems.
But these warehouse-sized buildings...
AI blood test may detect deadly liver disease years earlier
Liver disease is a growing health problem around the world, yet many people who develop it do not know they are sick until the...
AI could help choose best treatment for pancreatic cancer
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most difficult cancers to treat. It often grows quietly in the body and is usually discovered only after...
Next-generation fuel cells may clean themselves during operation
Fuel cells are devices that produce electricity by converting chemical energy directly into electrical energy.
Unlike batteries, which store electricity and eventually run out, fuel...
