Gabriel Gomes built an agent that turns plain English into physical experiments, enabling research that humans alone could never sustain ...
In the 1930s, the Switzer brothers stumbled onto a way to mimic fluorescence. That led to Day-Glo, which has been making the world a brighter place ever since ...
A mathematical equivalent of a microscope with variable resolution has shed light on why some atoms are exceptionally stable, a riddle that has persisted in nuclear physics for decades ...
NearSpace Education (NSE) has been awarded a NASA TEAM II STEM Innovator grant to erase the line between classroom ...
The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...
Harnessing the power of the sun holds the promise of providing future societies with energy abundance. To make this a reality, fusion researchers need to address many technological challenges. For ...
As data keeps exploding worldwide, scientists are racing to pack more information into smaller and smaller spaces — and a team at the University of Stuttgart may have just unlocked a powerful new ...
A neutron star’s teaspoon of material would weigh billions of tons. Venus rotates backwards compared to most planets. Space smells like seared steak, according to astronauts. There are more trees on ...
A new study says genetic testing can speed the return of the American chestnut tree that once dominated Eastern U.S. forests. The tree was functionally extinct by the 1950s because of a fungal ...
Although chatbots such as ChatGPT, which are powered by large language models (LLMs), have some sense of time, it is conceptualized in a completely different way. As we increasingly interact with them ...
Not every great science fiction movie starts a franchise or gets a sequel, and we've been waiting multiple decades for some of these.
