A new room-temperature quantum device uses twisted light to entangle photons and electrons, overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in quantum technology. The breakthrough could pave the way for smaller, cheaper quantum systems with applications ...
A decades-old mystery about Saturn has finally been solved thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope. Scientists discovered that Saturn's changing "rotation rate" was never caused by the planet speeding up or slowing down, but by powerful winds high . ...
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way to control superconductivity -- the mysterious phenomenon where electricity flows with zero energy loss. By pairing twisted layers of graphene with a synthetic diamond material, researchers were able to ...
Scientists say moons around rogue planets wandering through the galaxy could remain warm enough for life thanks to tidal heating and hydrogen-rich atmospheres. These dark, starless worlds may have had stable oceans for billions of years -- long ...
For more than a century, pianists and music teachers have argued over whether a performer's touch can actually change the tone color of a piano note -- and now scientists say the answer is yes. Using a cutting-edge sensor system that tracked piano .. ...
Scientists at the University of Houston have shattered a long-standing superconductivity record, creating a material that can conduct electricity with zero resistance at the highest temperature ever achieved under normal pressure conditions. Their .. ...
A giant planet nearly 700 light-years away has a bizarre daily weather cycle where mineral clouds appear every morning and vanish by nightfall. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered that WASP-94A b's mornings are filled with .. ...
NASA's Fermi telescope has detected what may be the first confirmed gamma-ray signal from a superluminous supernova -- one of the most extreme explosions in the universe. Scientists believe the blast was powered by a rapidly spinning magnetar, an ...
Scientists working at CERN's Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model -- the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and forces of the universe. By studying incredibly rare .. ...
A new AI-powered chip from UC Davis can analyze light and chemicals using a device tiny enough to fit almost anywhere. By combining smart silicon sensors with machine learning, it achieves lab-style spectral analysis without the bulky equipment.
