Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction--an essential component of quantum computers and voltage standards. The appearance of Shapiro steps in this atomic system reveals a deep universality in ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever before. By combining Einstein's gravity with realistic behavior of light and matter, researchers have built simulations that . ...

A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how systems evolve over time and reduces thousands of variables into compact equations that still capture real behavior. The method ...

Spanish researchers have created a powerful new open-source tool that helps uncover the hidden genetic networks driving cancer. Called RNACOREX, the software can analyze thousands of molecular interactions at once, revealing how genes communicate ...

Astronomers have uncovered a massive hidden planet and a rare "failed star" by combining ultra-precise space data with some of the sharpest ground-based images ever taken. Using the Subaru Telescope in Hawaii, the OASIS survey tracked subtle stellar ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that--yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous pressure. Now, researchers have directly measured ...

By studying tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, scientists mapped dark matter and dark energy across one of the largest sky surveys ever assembled. Their results back the standard picture of the universe and show that even archival .. ...

An instrument aboard NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft captured rare ultraviolet observations of an interstellar comet while Earth-based telescopes were blinded by the Sun. The spacecraft's unique position provided an unprecedented look at the comet's ...

For years, scientists thought Saturn's moon Titan hid a global ocean beneath its frozen surface. A new look at Cassini data now suggests something very different: a thick, slushy interior with pockets of liquid water rather than an open sea. A subtle ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called "junk DNA" contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer's disease. By experimentally testing nearly 1,000 DNA switches in human astrocytes, scientists identified around 150 that ...
