Dante's Inferno may have been far more than a religious epic. New research argues that the 14th-century poet essentially imagined a catastrophic asteroid impact centuries before modern science understood meteors. In this interpretation, Satan crashes ...

A new study suggests AI chatbots may do more than spread misinformation -- they can actively strengthen a user's false beliefs. Because conversational AI often validates and builds on what users say, it can make distorted memories, conspiracy ...

Scientists in Germany have pulled off a staggering computing feat by fully simulating a 50-qubit quantum computer for the first time ever using Europe's new exascale supercomputer, JUPITER. The breakthrough shatters the previous 48-qubit record and . ...

A team at the University of Hong Kong has developed a new "super steel" that can survive the harsh conditions needed to make green hydrogen from seawater. The material uses an unexpected double-protection mechanism that resists corrosion far better . ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward ultra-secure quantum communication by demonstrating a remarkably stable quantum encryption system that worked across more than 120 kilometers of optical fiber. Using tiny semiconductor quantum dots that emit ...

A major obstacle may be standing in the way of the next generation of ultra-tiny computer chips. Researchers discovered that many promising 2D materials lose their advantages because an invisible atomic-scale gap forms when they are combined with ...

Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories -- bosons or fermions -- but researchers have now shown that bizarre "in-between" particles ...

Scientists may have uncovered a surprising secret behind why life exists at all. A new study suggests that the Universe's fundamental constants -- the deep physical rules that govern everything from atoms to stars -- appear to sit within an ...

A mysterious comet from beyond our solar system is giving astronomers a rare glimpse into alien worlds -- and it may have formed in a place far colder and stranger than anything around our Sun. The interstellar visitor, called 3I/ATLAS, contains an . ...

The Universe's biggest black holes may not be born giants after all. Scientists analyzing gravitational-wave signals from dozens of black hole collisions found evidence that the heaviest black holes are likely "cosmic recyclers" -- formed through ...
