Fusion scientists have solved a long-standing mystery inside tokamaks, the donut-shaped machines designed to harness fusion energy. For years, experiments showed that escaping plasma particles hit one side of the exhaust system far more than the ...

A new era of lunar exploration has begun as NASA launches four astronauts on Artemis II--the first crewed mission to fly around the Moon in over 50 years. Riding aboard the powerful SLS rocket, the Orion spacecraft is now on a 10-day journey that ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to ultra-secure communication that could make quantum encryption simpler and more efficient than ever before. By harnessing a 19th-century optics phenomenon called the Talbot effect, researchers developed a ...

Scientists studying Bennu samples have discovered that its chemistry is far from uniform. Organic compounds and minerals cluster into three distinct types of regions, each shaped differently by past water activity. This uneven pattern shows that ...

Scientists have transformed a groundbreaking 2D nanomaterial called MXene into an even more powerful 1D form--tiny scroll-like tubes that are incredibly thin yet highly conductive. By rolling flat sheets into hollow nanoscrolls, they've created ...

DNA robots are emerging as tiny programmable machines that could one day deliver drugs, hunt viruses, and build molecular-scale devices. By borrowing ideas from traditional robotics and combining them with DNA folding techniques, scientists are ...

A new shape-shifting material can change both its texture and color in seconds, inspired by the camouflage abilities of octopuses. By precisely controlling how a polymer swells with water, researchers can create detailed, reversible patterns at the . ...

Scientists have taken lasers beyond light and into the realm of sound, creating a breakthrough "phonon laser" that manipulates tiny vibrations at the quantum level. By dramatically reducing noise in these systems, researchers can now measure motion . ...

Perovskite crystals can dramatically and reversibly change shape when hit with light, a behavior not seen in conventional semiconductors. This effect, called photostriction, can be finely tuned depending on the light's intensity and color. ...

Scientists at the University of Waterloo have uncovered a bold new way to explain how the universe began--one that could reshape our understanding of the Big Bang. Instead of relying on patched-together theories, their approach shows that the ...
