Astronomers have witnessed a rare cosmic event: a massive star that didn’t explode in a spectacular supernova, but instead ...

A rechargeable battery based on technology pioneered by Thomas Edison may finally get its due. But while the famous inventor envisioned nickel-iron batteries powering the automobile industry over a ...

In contrast, the new battery is a more direct reimagination of Edison’s idea, in that it focuses on the battery itself as ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

The new design retains Edison's choice of metals while incorporating 21st-century nanotechnology and bioengineering. The UCLA-led study, published in Small, describes a battery capable of recharging ...

There's a reason why blacksmiths fire metals before hammering them. Heat always softens metal, making it more malleable and easier to reshape. Or does it? In a surprising new study, Northwestern ...

The latest portrait of the Egg Nebula turns a fleeting stellar death into something almost architectural, revealing nested ...

Scientists now understand why seismic waves speed up near Earth's core. Extreme pressure and temperature cause solid mantle rock to flow slowly, aligning mineral crystals. This anisotropic structure ...

An exciting highlight will be the Innsbruck students' participation in the 19th Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, accompanied by Tom Kovac and Marjan Colletti. Masarah Paquet-Clouston heads the ...
