Quantum communication is edging closer to reality thanks to a breakthrough in teleporting information between photons from different quantum dots--one of the biggest challenges in building a quantum internet. By creating nearly identical ...

The discovery of strange, ultra-red objects--especially the extreme case known as The Cliff--has pushed astronomers to propose an entirely new type of cosmic structure: black hole stars. These exotic hybrids could explain rapid black hole growth in . ...

Nearly a century after astronomers first proposed dark matter to explain the strange motions of galaxies, scientists may finally be catching a glimpse of it. A University of Tokyo researcher analyzing new data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space ...

ETH Zurich scientists have found the holy grail of brewing: the long-sought formula behind stable beer foam. Their research explains why different beers rely on different physical mechanisms to keep bubbles intact and why some foams last far longer . ...

Researchers have directly observed Floquet effects in graphene for the first time, settling a long-running scientific debate. Their ultrafast light-based technique demonstrates that graphene's electronic properties can be tuned almost instantaneously ...

Princeton researchers found that the brain excels at learning because it reuses modular "cognitive blocks" across many tasks. Monkeys switching between visual categorization challenges revealed that the prefrontal cortex assembles these blocks like . ...

Using intense X-rays, researchers captured a buckyball as it expanded, split and shed electrons under strong laser fields. Detailed scattering measurements showed how the molecule behaves at low, medium and high laser intensities. Some predicted ...

Researchers have discovered a low-energy way to recycle Teflon by using mechanical motion and sodium metal. The process turns the notoriously durable plastic into sodium fluoride that can be reused directly in chemical manufacturing. This creates a . ...

Using a smart computational search, scientists discovered a catalyst ingredient that finally makes tough alkyl ketones behave the way chemists want. The reaction now runs cleanly and reliably, opening the door to faster and easier molecule-building.

Researchers developed a powerful new manganese complex that could revolutionize light-driven chemical reactions. It absorbs light extremely efficiently, has a uniquely long excited-state lifetime, and is far easier to synthesize than previous ...
