Scientists have created a new kind of quantum device that can turn electricity into something unusual: tiny packets of sound known as phonons. This breakthrough...

Can a computer really decide what is beautiful? A new study suggests the answer is not as simple as many people think. Researchers from the...

Parts used in aircraft engines, power plants, and other high-temperature machines must survive extreme stress for long periods of time. Many of these parts are...

Imagine a health-monitoring device that never needs charging or battery replacement. Scientists are now closer to that reality with a new system that can...

For many years, astronomers have wondered where the Milky Way truly “ends.” Unlike a solid object, our galaxy does not have a clear boundary. Its...

Scientists have developed a new type of semiconductor material that can do something unusual: it can tell the difference between left- and right-handed light...

Where exactly is the edge of the Milky Way? That question is harder to answer than one might expect. Since we’re inside of the galaxy...

Scientists have developed a new way to make ultra-thin materials like graphene using simple vibrations at room temperature. This method could make production much faster,...

Scientists are becoming more concerned about a group of chemicals known as PFAS, often called “forever chemicals” because they do not easily break down...

Scientists know that the behaviour of stars can dictate planetary habitability. Research shows that young stars emit powerful radiation that can strip planetary atmospheres away. And...

Solar energy is growing quickly around the world, with more and more panels being installed every year. But there is a simple problem: dust and...

Imagine turning your home into a smart system without charging devices or replacing batteries. Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a clever new...

Sour beer, the tart and tangy outcome of a brewing process that’s been used in Europe for centuries, has recently surged in popularity in...

Scientists have discovered a new way to make batteries work better—by changing the texture of metal inside them. This finding could lead to better batteries...

In an exciting new experiment, scientists in Innsbruck, Austria, have managed to create mysterious quantum states—known as Schrödinger cat states—without needing extremely cold conditions. This...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a new window insulation material that could dramatically cut energy loss from buildings without blocking...

A research team has made significant progress in the field of two-dimensional (2D) electrical devices by developing an innovative technique that improves the contact...
