Scientists at Colorado State University have created one of the coldest plasmas ever produced in a laboratory, achieving electron temperatures within about one degree...

Engineers have developed a new way to protect tall buildings from strong winds and earthquakes by allowing some floors to move rather than trying...

Uranus is one of the strangest planets in our solar system, and new research shows that its unusual orientation causes the planet’s magnetic environment...

Scientists have developed a new manufacturing technique that could help make high-efficiency solar panels more powerful without making them much harder or more expensive...

Researchers have developed a low-power artificial intelligence system that can identify drones while using dramatically less electricity than conventional computer-based systems. The technology could make...

For about 40 years, physicists have puzzled over a strange problem: What happens when an electrically charged particle encounters a hypothetical magnetic monopole? Some calculations suggested...

Carbon dioxide is best known as a greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change, but scientists are increasingly exploring ways to turn it into...

Astronomers have discovered an enormous stream of gas flowing toward a young system of three stars, potentially explaining why its planet-forming disks are strangely...

Some stick insects have reproduced without sex for around one million years, yet they still carry a fully functioning genetic system associated with sexual...

Ketchup may one day offer more than its familiar sweet and tangy flavor. Scientists have developed a protein-enriched version of the popular condiment using extracts...

Anyone who has used a laptop that becomes too hot to touch knows that heat is one of the biggest challenges in modern electronics. The...

Most people say they care about privacy, but their everyday behavior does not always match their concerns. Now, researchers have developed a simple four-question...

Lysosomes, often reductively referred to as the "garbage disposals" of cells, play a pivotal role in our cells’ digestive systems by getting rid of...
