Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the boundary between materials has limited their performance。 Researchers have now engineered that atomic interface to protect electron flow while still allowing extremely thin insulating layers。 The resulting transistors delivered a
FDA report reveals where Taylor Farms sent its lettuce—and it raises questions
Judges tell Meta that Section 230 provides a defense, not immunity from lawsuits
A new chemical process can transform three of the most common plastics into high-purity hydrogen without sorting them first。 The technique operates at much lower temperatures than traditional gasification and captures most of the plastic’s carbon in solid or liquid forms instead of releasing it as carbon dioxide
Trump falsely claimed the MMR vaccine is "quite lethal" and linked shots to autism
Claire Stapleton's new book, Don't Be Evil, recounts her journey from company cheerleader to outspoken dissident
A total solar eclipse will plunge parts of Europe into darkness on August 12, 2026, with Spain offering some of the best views。 ESA will livestream the spectacle from the Javalambre Observatory, combining telescope feeds, drone footage, and expert commentary。 At 20:31 CEST, the observatory will experience 1 minute and 21 seconds of totality, reveal
Hot hours of summer could triple in the coming decades
Scientists have discovered incredibly tiny plasma whirlpools swirling across the Sun’s surface, some just 20 kilometers wide。 These previously invisible vortices may twist magnetic fields and help build up the energy released in small solar eruptions called nanoflares。 They may also help magnetic fields spread through the Sun’s atmosphere far faste
When atomic nuclei smash together at nearly the speed of light, they create the hottest fluid in the universe, but scientists may have overlooked one of its most important forces。 New simulations reveal that extreme acceleration builds up along the edges of quark-gluon plasma, helping drive its explosive expansion。 This acceleration may do far more
Dark matter particles may exert a hidden force on one another, but its effects are stranger than expected。 An extra attraction helps the particles cluster, yet it also makes dark matter effectively lighter as the Universe expands。 That weakens its gravitational impact and usually slows the growth of cosmic structure rather than accelerating it
A massive magma reservoir has been detected deep beneath Tuscany, despite showing no obvious signs at the surface。 Scientists mapped the roughly 6,000-cubic-kilometer body using natural ground vibrations recorded by dozens of seismic sensors。 It poses no immediate danger, but the discovery reveals how enormous volcanic systems can remain hidden and
Mathematicians have shown that no electoral system can perfectly balance local representation, proportional national results, and a fixed-size parliament once enough parties compete。 A newly proposed voting method could soften these unavoidable trade-offs and produce outcomes that are much closer to fair
Meta has been trailing competitors。 Zuckerberg thinks he's found a way forward
Photons traveling through a cloud of atoms can emerge so early that they appear to have spent a negative amount of time inside。 Researchers tested whether this was merely a misleading feature of the light pulse by making extremely weak measurements of the atoms。 Surprisingly, the atoms confirmed the same negative dwell time
Silver nanocatalysts have been found to switch where they perform their most important reactions depending on whether a solid oxide cell is making electricity or hydrogen。 The discovery could enable smarter catalyst designs that boost clean power generation while making green hydrogen more energy-efficient
Researchers have found a way to build much larger “twisted” oxide materials while precisely controlling how their atomic layers line up。 Because these materials can be made over large areas and transferred onto different surfaces, the technique could help turn twistronics from a laboratory curiosity into a practical platform for next-generation ele
Engineers have transformed a notoriously brittle cobalt-aluminum compound into a material that is both extremely strong and capable of bending without breaking。 Their nanoscale design produced a yield strength about six to 10 times greater than high-strength structural steel while sustaining substantial deformation at room temperature。 The approach
August brings four major celestial events, including a solar eclipse and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower。 Dark New Moon skies could make the Perseids especially impressive, while Venus will blaze in the west after sunset。 A deep partial lunar eclipse closes the month, darkening most of the Moon
Cassini data has revealed a surprising twist in Saturn’s magnetic shield: the planet’s rapid rotation appears to drag a key opening in its magnetosphere far toward the afternoon side instead of keeping it near noon, as happens on Earth。 The finding confirms that giant planets like Saturn operate under a fundamentally different magnetic regime, wher
