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 .. ...

A team at King's College London has created a powerful new aluminum compound capable of doing the work of expensive rare metals. Its unique triangular structure gives it remarkable stability and reactivity, allowing it to drive chemical reactions in ...

For decades, psychologists have debated whether the human mind can be explained by one unified theory or must be broken into separate parts like memory and attention. A recent AI model called Centaur seemed to offer a breakthrough, claiming it could ...

Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon's state between two separate quantum dots. This was done over a 270-meter open-air link, proving quantum information can travel between independent devices. The achievement marks a key step ...
