Astronomers have long been puzzled by a cosmic mystery: planets orbiting two stars--like Star Wars' Tatooine--are surprisingly rare, even though they should be common. New research suggests the culprit is none other than Einstein's theory of general ...

Calling AI things like "smart" or saying it "knows" something might sound harmless, but it can quietly mislead people about what AI actually does. A new study shows that news writers are more careful than expected, rarely using strongly human-like .. ...

Scientists have captured stunning new insights into one of the universe's most powerful phenomena--black hole jets--by using a planet-sized network of radio telescopes. Focusing on Cygnus X-1, one of the first known black holes, they measured jets .. ...

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones. These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical .. ...

As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground--cities went eerily quiet. Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, .. ...

Researchers have shown that blending quantum computing with AI can dramatically improve predictions of complex, chaotic systems. By letting a quantum computer identify hidden patterns in data, the AI becomes more accurate and stable over time. The .. ...

A new quantum sensing approach could dramatically improve how scientists measure low-frequency electric fields, a task that has long been limited by bulky setups and blurry resolution. Instead of relying on traditional vapor-cell methods, researchers ...

Researchers have discovered lithium hidden in pyrite within ancient shale rocks--an unexpected find that could reshape how we source this critical battery material. It raises the possibility of extracting lithium from existing waste, reducing the ...

A new study proposes detecting life in space by spotting patterns across many planets instead of focusing on one at a time. If life spreads and changes planetary environments, it could leave behind statistical clues linking planets together. These .. ...

A massive Swedish study shows that AI can spot people at higher risk of melanoma using routine health data. Advanced models significantly outperformed basic methods, identifying high-risk groups with striking accuracy. Some individuals flagged by the ...
