The mystery of dark matter—unseen, pervasive, and essential in standard cosmology—has loomed over physics for decades. In new ...

The Stevens Institute of Technology in the US recently said some of its scientists plus a group at Yale University will be building “the world’s first experiment explicitly designed to detect ...

Russia is taking space travel to the next level with a bold new design—a rotating space station that creates artificial gravity! Scheduled for a 2027 launch, this innovative structure spins to ...

With their gravity-detecting genes turned off, these grassy plants grow along the soil’s surface. The inset image shows SLQ1 proteins that have been fluorescently tagged in a cell. A study by ...

The two stars in the nearby system ZTF J2130 are spiraling toward a catastrophic supernova. In the meantime, scientists are using the pair's slow orbital decay to put Einstein's theory of gravity to ...

You may have heard people say that aboard the International Space Station (ISS) there's "zero gravity," but in fact, gravity is still very much present. The station orbits Earth at an altitude of ...

Unifying gravity and quantum theory remains a significant goal in modern physics. Despite the success in unifying all other fundamental interactions (electromagnetism, strong force and weak force) ...

A global race is underway to find long-term energy storage solutions, with venture capital investing heavily in new technologies beyond the current lithium-ion battery dominance. Researchers at the ...

Researchers in Canada have proposed using gravity-based energy storage in high-rise buildings, in combination with photovoltaic facades, small wind turbines, and lithium-ion batteries. Their modeling ...

At-a-Glance: Heavy oil is a dense, viscous petroleum fluid (typically 10–22 °API) enriched in resins/asphaltenes with low gas content, formed when originally lighter oils are altered after charge by ...

Until now, the AI revolution has been largely measured by size: the bigger the model, the bolder the claims. However, as we move closer to truly autonomous and pervasive AI systems, a new trend is ...
