Scientists are using sunlight to turn plastic waste into clean fuels like hydrogen, offering a breakthrough solution to both pollution and energy challenges. While still in development, the approach could transform trash into a valuable resource for ...

For decades, relaxor ferroelectrics have powered everything from medical ultrasounds to sonar systems, yet their inner atomic structure remained a mystery--until now. Researchers have finally mapped their three-dimensional structure in unprecedented ...

Artemis II proved NASA's deep space systems are ready for the next leap. Orion survived its high-speed return with improved heat shield performance and pinpoint landing accuracy, while the SLS rocket nailed its trajectory. Even the launch pad ...

Voyager 1 just powered down a nearly 50-year-old instrument to stay alive in deep space. The spacecraft is running critically low on energy, forcing NASA to make careful sacrifices to keep its mission going. Despite the shutdown, it continues to send ...

Physicists are rethinking one of quantum mechanics' biggest puzzles: how fuzzy possibilities become definite reality. New research suggests that spontaneous "collapse" processes--possibly linked to gravity--could subtly blur time itself. This wouldn ...

A new kind of memory device may finally solve the problem of overheating and battery drain in electronics. By shrinking components to an extreme scale and redesigning their structure, researchers found a way to reduce energy loss instead of ...

Astronomers have unleashed a powerful new AI tool called RAVEN to comb through data from NASA's TESS mission--and it's paying off in a big way. By analyzing millions of stars, the system has confirmed over 100 exoplanets, including 31 brand-new ...

A decades-old cosmic mystery has finally been cracked: the strange X-rays coming from the bright star gamma-Cas are caused by a hidden stellar companion feeding off it. Using cutting-edge observations from the XRISM space mission, astronomers ...

In a striking glimpse into extreme physics, scientists have captured the split-second chaos that unfolds when powerful laser flashes blast matter into a superheated plasma. By combining two cutting-edge lasers, researchers were able to track how ...

Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of quadsqueezing--an elusive fourth-order quantum effect. By combining simple forces in a clever way, they made previously hidden quantum .. ...
