Cumberland, B.C. is reimagining its coal mining past as a clean energy opportunity. Water trapped in abandoned mine tunnels could be used in a geothermal system to heat and cool buildings efficiently and with minimal emissions. The project could ...

A bold step toward returning humans to the Moon is underway with Blue Origin's uncrewed MK1 "Endurance" lander, designed to test the technologies that future astronauts will rely on. Built in partnership with NASA, the mission will showcase precision ...

A powerful new electromagnetic thruster has taken a major step forward after a successful high-energy test at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Fueled by lithium vapor and driven by intense magnetic forces, the experimental engine reached record ...

Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing "mollifier layers" that smooth noisy data, they've made ...

A scorching, airless world just 48 light-years away is offering scientists a rare glimpse into the geology of distant planets. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers studied LHS 3844 b--a tidally locked "super-Earth" with a permanent ...

Creating complex molecules usually requires years of experience and countless decisions, but a new AI system is changing that. Synthegy lets chemists guide synthesis and reaction planning using simple language, while powerful algorithms generate and ...

A strange kind of matter that "ticks" forever without energy input has just taken a major leap toward real-world use. Known as a time crystal, this quantum system repeats its motion endlessly--like a clock that never winds down--and scientists have . ...

Researchers at Stanford have developed a compact optical amplifier that dramatically boosts light signals using very little power. By recycling energy inside a looping resonator, the device achieves strong amplification with minimal noise and wide .. ...

Astronomers have spotted something surprising in the far outer Solar System--a faint, short-lived atmosphere clinging to a tiny icy world that shouldn't be able to hold one at all. The object, called 2002 XV93, is far smaller than Pluto, yet ...

A new quantum physics study reveals that simply changing a magnetic field over time can unlock entirely new forms of matter that don't exist under normal conditions. By carefully "driving" materials with timed magnetic shifts, researchers created ...
