For the first time, researchers have shown that self-assembled phosphorus chains can host genuinely one-dimensional electron behavior. Using advanced imaging and spectroscopy techniques, they separated the signals from chains aligned in different ...

New data from major dark-energy observatories suggest the universe may not expand forever after all. A Cornell physicist calculates that the cosmos is heading toward a dramatic reversal: after reaching its maximum size in about 11 billion years, it . ...

Neuromorphic computers modeled after the human brain can now solve the complex equations behind physics simulations -- something once thought possible only with energy-hungry supercomputers. The breakthrough could lead to powerful, low-energy ...

Astronomers have uncovered a distant planetary system that flips a long-standing rule of planet formation on its head. Around the small red dwarf star LHS 1903, scientists expected to find rocky planets close in and gas giants farther out -- the same ...

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 slow-motion cosmic fade-out. The leftover debris ...

A dazzling new Hubble image peels back the layers of the mysterious Egg Nebula, a rare and fleeting phase in a Sun-like star's death just 1,000 light-years away. Hidden inside a dense cocoon of dust, the dying star blasts twin beams of light through ...

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 trick. By slightly twisting ultra-thin layers of a .. ...

Scientists at HKUST have unveiled a major leap forward in calcium-ion battery technology, potentially opening the door to safer, more sustainable energy storage for everything from renewable power grids to electric vehicles. By designing a novel ...

Dust from asteroid Bennu is revealing a surprising origin story for life's building blocks. New research suggests some amino acids formed in frozen ice exposed to radiation, not warm liquid water as scientists long believed. Isotopic clues show Bennu ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence of a massive underground lava tube hidden beneath the surface of Venus, revealing a new layer of the planet's volcanic history. By reexamining radar data from NASA's Magellan spacecraft, researchers identified what ...
