A new chip design from UC San Diego could make data centers far more energy-efficient by rethinking how power is converted for GPUs. By combining vibrating piezoelectric components with a clever circuit layout, the system overcomes limitations of ...

A mysterious glow of gamma rays at the center of the Milky Way has long hinted at dark matter, but the lack of similar signals in smaller dwarf galaxies has cast doubt on that idea. Now, researchers propose a bold twist: dark matter might not be a .. ...

Earth's nights are steadily getting brighter overall, but the changes vary dramatically by region. Rapid urban growth is lighting up countries like China and India, while parts of Europe are dimming due to energy-saving efforts and new lighting ...

For all its ancient, familiar features, the Moon is still changing--and sometimes in dramatic ways. Scientists recently identified a fresh 22-meter-wide crater by comparing orbital images taken years apart, revealing a relatively recent impact that . ...

A bizarre, record-breaking neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from an exploding primordial black hole--a relic from the early universe. Scientists suggest these black holes could carry a mysterious "dark charge," causing rare but powerful ...

Planetary exploration may be about to get a major speed boost. Researchers tested a semi-autonomous robot that can move from rock to rock, analyzing each without waiting for human instructions. The system completed missions up to three times faster . ...

Quantum computers struggle with a major flaw: their information vanishes unpredictably. Scientists have now created a new method that can measure this loss over 100 times faster than before. By tracking changes in near real time, researchers can ...

Scientists have zoomed in on how phosphoric acid moves electrical charges so efficiently in both biology and technology. By freezing a key molecular pair to extremely low temperatures, they found it forms just one stable structure--contrary to ...

A team of engineers has created a breakthrough memory device that keeps working at temperatures hotter than molten lava, shattering one of electronics' biggest limits. Built from an unusual stack of ultra-durable materials, the tiny component can ...

Earth may have won a cosmic chemistry lottery. Researchers found that during the planet's earliest formation, oxygen had to be in an extremely narrow "Goldilocks zone" for two life-essential elements, phosphorus and nitrogen, to stay where life could ...
