Once the initial blaze of heat dissipated, the constituent particles of atoms were free to bind.
Laser-guided lightning systems could someday offer much greater protection than lightning rods.
Embedded in a cell phone or in accessories such as rings, bracelets or watches, the novel tools aim to make it easier to manage hypertension. But they must still pass several tests before hitting the clinic.
An army of replicators belonging to national laboratories, research universities, and amateur garages is rushing to replicate ambient superconductivity in LK-99.
Where did the “seed” magnetic field come from in the first place?
In the spirit of the 1969 moon landing, we now have a golden opportunity to pursue “nondisruptive” creative solutions.
One of Jetoptera’s VTOLs is expected to reach speeds of around 614 mph, about as fast as a commercial jet airliner.
The hunt for the elusive particles continues.
Wind farms seem less productive when scientists incorporate more realistic atmospheric models into their output predictions.
Small spiders use their silk threads to passively fly, a process called ballooning. Learning how could help atmospheric scientists.
What would become the Big Bang model started from a crucial idea: that the young Universe was denser and hotter.
There’s a speed limit to the Universe: the speed of light in a vacuum. Want to beat the speed of light? Try going through a medium!
Some constants, like the speed of light, exist with no underlying explanation. How many “fundamental constants” does our Universe require?
Researchers are finding signs of multiple phases of sleep all over the animal kingdom. The ‘active’ sleep phases look very much like REM.
In our Universe, all stable atomic nuclei have protons in them; there’s no stable “neutronium” at all. But what’s the reason why?
We don’t know what causes Miyake events, but these great surges of energy can help us understand the past — while posing a threat to our future.
Every power source involves trade-offs. Given the challenges of increasing demand and climate change, what is the future of energy?
There’s a quantum limit to how precisely anything can be measured. By squeezing light, LIGO has now surpassed all previous limitations.
Anesthesia causes animals and humans to lose consciousness. A study found it has a similar effect on Venus flytraps.
A massive nuclear fusion experiment just hit a major milestone, potentially putting us a little closer to a future of limitless clean energy.
U.S. states vary radically in terms of electricity generation. Vermont is the cleanest, while Delaware is the dirtiest.
Godfrey Hounsfield’s early life did not suggest that he would accomplish much at all.
The theory is accurate within at least one part in a quadrillion.
No matter how good our measurement devices get, certain quantum properties always possess an inherent uncertainty. Can we figure out why?
A lucky discovery involving lithium-sulfur batteries has a legitimate chance to revolutionize how we power our world.
The familiar terrain of solids, liquids, and gases gives way to the exotic realms of plasmas and degenerate matter.
High-frequency oscillations that ripple through our brains may generate memory and conscious experience.
EV charging stations are the most widespread alternative to gas and diesel pumps. Each alternative has its own hotspots and “deserts.”
