Astronomers have identified a strange new kind of exoplanet that challenges how scientists classify worlds beyond our Solar System. The planet, L 98-59 d, appears to contain a vast ocean of molten rock beneath its surface that traps large amounts of ...

A mysterious metal-rich asteroid called Psyche has been baffling scientists for over two centuries, and its true origin remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in planetary science. Is it the exposed core of a failed planet, or a chaotic mix ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed new details in a bizarre nebula that looks like a brain floating in space. Formed by a dying star, the "Exposed Cranium" nebula shows layered gas and a dark central divide that creates its eerie shape. Webb ...

Astronomers may have found an exciting new clue about dark energy--the mysterious force driving the universe's accelerating expansion. They discovered an extraordinarily bright supernova from more than 10 billion years ago whose light was bent and .. ...

Scientists studying a mysterious effect called cosmic birefringence--a subtle twist in the polarization of the universe's oldest light--have developed a new way to reduce uncertainty in how it's measured. This faint rotation in the cosmic microwave . ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting "frustration" inside a crystal's atomic structure. The team discovered a rare system where two different kinds of frustration--magnetic and .. ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new computational method that could accelerate the search for next-generation materials capable of turning sunlight into useful chemical energy. The work focuses on polyheptazine imides, a promising class of ...

Artificial intelligence is often portrayed as a tool that replaces human work, but new research from Swansea University suggests a far more exciting role: creative collaborator. In a large study with more than 800 participants designing virtual cars, ...

A new AI framework called THOR is transforming how scientists calculate the behavior of atoms inside materials. Instead of relying on slow simulations that take weeks of supercomputer time, the system uses tensor network mathematics and machine ...

Astronomers have discovered the brightest fast radio burst ever detected and traced it to a nearby galaxy using a new network of CHIME Outrigger telescopes. The flash, nicknamed RBFLOAT, lasted only a fraction of a second but briefly outshone every . ...
