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.

Scientists have created a global "treasure map" for rare earth elements by uncovering where the strange volcanic rocks that contain them are most likely to form. By combining thousands of rock samples with seismic images of Earth's deep interior, the ...

NASA's Psyche spacecraft just used Mars as a giant gravitational slingshot to continue its journey toward a strange metal rich asteroid. The close flyby boosted the spacecraft's speed by about 1,000 mph while also producing rare crescent images of .. ...

Scientists believe a dust-filled ring just outside Jupiter acted like a cosmic "planetesimal factory," producing multiple generations of early space rocks with very different compositions. The discovery may finally explain the origins of several ...

Scientists used some of the most advanced plasma simulations ever created to uncover how the universe builds enormous magnetic fields out of turbulence. The discovery could reshape our understanding of stars, black holes, neutron star collisions, and ...
