For more than a century, pianists and music teachers have argued over whether a performer’s touch can actually change the tone color of a piano note — and now scientists say the answer is yes。 Using a cutting-edge sensor system that tracked piano key movements at 1,000 frames per second, researchers discovered that elite pianists subtly manipulate
By stacking custom-designed silver nanoparticles like nanoscale LEGO bricks, scientists stabilized a mysterious crystal phase that had never been observed before。 The material not only solves a longstanding puzzle in materials science but also exhibits promising quantum properties at room temperature
At a small kickoff event in Los Angeles, Dan Greaney explained why he could no longer stand by and watch the demolition of American democracy
A decades-old mystery about Saturn has finally been solved thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope。 Scientists discovered that Saturn’s changing “rotation rate” was never caused by the planet speeding up or slowing down, but by powerful winds high in its atmosphere。 Webb’s unprecedented observations revealed that Saturn’s northern lights actively
Scientists at the University of Houston have shattered a long-standing superconductivity record, creating a material that can conduct electricity with zero resistance at the highest temperature ever achieved under normal pressure conditions。 Their breakthrough pushes superconductivity to 151 Kelvin (minus 122°C), beating a record that stood for mor
Robot demonstrations can distort public perceptions of robotic capabilities
Researchers are developing a futuristic alternative to LASIK that reshapes the eye without lasers or incisions。 Using mild electrical pulses and platinum contact lenses, they temporarily soften the cornea so it can be molded into a new shape。 Early tests on rabbit eyes successfully corrected nearsightedness in about a minute while preserving the ey
Gwynne Shotwell, the president and chief operating officer, is the adult-in-the-room foil to Mr。 Musk as SpaceX prepares for a blockbuster initial public offering
Lathe is an experiment in using LLMs to teach me something new, instead of doing the work for me。 It generates a hands-on, source-backed tutorial for any technical topic you want to learn。 Then you work through it yourself by reading and typing the code by hand (gasp) in a local UI built for exactly that
The Huracan gave us the R8s, now the Temerario lends itself to a new Audi
Nicolas Cage was born to play 1930s PI Ben Reilly/The Spider: part Bogart, part Bugs Bunny, 100% Cage-y
In the end, the three companies involved all point the finger at each other
Scientists say moons around rogue planets wandering through the galaxy could remain warm enough for life thanks to tidal heating and hydrogen-rich atmospheres。 These dark, starless worlds may have had stable oceans for billions of years — long enough for complex life to potentially emerge
Researchers at EPFL have developed a chip-scale ultrafast laser that performs on par with traditional tabletop femtosecond lasers。 The innovation could make advanced laser technologies far smaller, cheaper, and more accessible for applications ranging from medical diagnostics to atomic clocks
A team at the University of Minnesota discovered that changing a metal film's thickness by just a few nanometers can dramatically alter how it behaves electronically。 The finding reveals a surprising new way to control metals and could help power future advances in electronics, catalysis, and quantum technology
A new room-temperature quantum device uses twisted light to entangle photons and electrons, overcoming one of the biggest hurdles in quantum technology。 The breakthrough could pave the way for smaller, cheaper quantum systems with applications ranging from secure communications to future AI and computing platforms
Scientists have created a tiny chip that can generate, steer, and read light-based information all in one device, marking a major leap toward ultra-fast, energy-efficient computing。 The breakthrough uses atomically thin materials and nanoscale structures to control a unique quantum property of light called the “valley” degree of freedom, allowing i
Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way to control superconductivity — the mysterious phenomenon where electricity flows with zero energy loss。 By pairing twisted layers of graphene with a synthetic diamond material, researchers were able to effectively switch superconductivity on and off by tweaking how electrons interact with their surroun
NASA’s PExT terminal has shown that spacecraft can seamlessly communicate through multiple government and commercial networks, a major step beyond traditional single-network systems。 The mission is now expanding to test new capabilities that could help create a more flexible, reliable communications infrastructure for future space missions
FCC did not violate carriers' right to jury trial, court says in 8-1 ruling
