Penn researchers have developed a smarter AI method for solving notoriously difficult inverse equations, which help scientists uncover hidden causes behind observable effects. By introducing "mollifier layers" that smooth noisy data, they've made ...

A scorching, airless world just 48 light-years away is offering scientists a rare glimpse into the geology of distant planets. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers studied LHS 3844 b--a tidally locked "super-Earth" with a permanent ...

Creating complex molecules usually requires years of experience and countless decisions, but a new AI system is changing that. Synthegy lets chemists guide synthesis and reaction planning using simple language, while powerful algorithms generate and ...

A strange kind of matter that "ticks" forever without energy input has just taken a major leap toward real-world use. Known as a time crystal, this quantum system repeats its motion endlessly--like a clock that never winds down--and scientists have . ...

Researchers at Stanford have developed a compact optical amplifier that dramatically boosts light signals using very little power. By recycling energy inside a looping resonator, the device achieves strong amplification with minimal noise and wide .. ...

Astronomers have spotted something surprising in the far outer Solar System--a faint, short-lived atmosphere clinging to a tiny icy world that shouldn't be able to hold one at all. The object, called 2002 XV93, is far smaller than Pluto, yet ...

A new quantum physics study reveals that simply changing a magnetic field over time can unlock entirely new forms of matter that don't exist under normal conditions. By carefully "driving" materials with timed magnetic shifts, researchers created ...

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 ...
