In the chaotic first moments after the Big Bang, ripples in spacetime may have done more than just echo through the cosmos—they could have helped create dark matter itself。 New research suggests that faint, ancient gravitational waves might have transformed into particles that eventually became the invisible substance shaping galaxies today
We'll soon get to see the brand's first EV; first, a more honed V12 four-seater
Researchers have, for the first time, directly visualized how electronic patterns known as charge density waves evolve across a phase transition。 Using cutting-edge microscopy, they found these patterns form unevenly, breaking into patches influenced by tiny structural distortions。 Unexpectedly, small pockets of order persist even above the transit
Scientists are grappling with a cosmic mystery: why does the Universe behave differently on massive scales compared to our own solar system。 While distant galaxies reveal clear signs of something bending the rules of gravity—often attributed to dark energy or a hidden “fifth force”—everything nearby seems to follow Einstein’s playbook perfectly
Different hunting patterns seem to dictate different distributions of metal
A massive cosmic milestone has just been reached: scientists have completed the largest high-resolution 3D map of the universe ever created。 Built using data from over 47 million galaxies and quasars, this map could unlock new clues about dark energy—the mysterious force driving the universe’s expansion。 Despite setbacks like wildfire disruptions,
The outage has hampered communication concerning a critical vulnerability that gives root
Scientists have created tiny “optical tornadoes” — swirling beams of light that twist like miniature whirlwinds — using a surprisingly simple setup based on liquid crystals。 Instead of relying on complex nanotechnology, the team used self-organizing structures called torons to trap and manipulate light, causing it to spiral and rotate in intricate
In addition to being full of screens, China now wants its cars to be packed with AI
Deep inside planets like Uranus and Neptune, scientists may have uncovered a bizarre new state of matter where atoms behave in unexpected ways。 Advanced simulations suggest that carbon and hydrogen, under crushing pressures and scorching temperatures, can form a strange hybrid phase—part solid, part fluid—where hydrogen atoms spiral through a rigid
Physicists have taken a major step toward using AI not just to analyze data, but to uncover entirely new laws of nature。 By combining a specially designed neural network with precise 3D tracking of particles in a dusty plasma—a strange “fourth state of matter” found from space to wildfires—the team revealed hidden patterns in how particles interact
Scientists have developed a fuel cell that uses microbes in soil to produce electricity。 The device can power underground sensors for tasks like monitoring moisture or detecting touch, without needing batteries or solar panels。 It works in both dry and wet conditions and even lasts longer than similar technologies
Chip shortages and demand from AI enthusiasts are both playing a part
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 mimic human thinking across 160 different cognitive tasks。 But new research is challenging that bold
A surprising breakthrough in physics could reshape the future of computing by tapping into a strange, previously untapped property of matter。 Scientists have shown that tiny atomic vibrations—called chiral phonons—can directly transfer motion to electrons, allowing them to carry information without magnets, batteries, or even electricity。 This open
A major physics experiment has uncovered evidence for a strange new form of matter, where a fleeting particle gets trapped inside a nucleus。 This exotic state may reveal how mass is generated, suggesting that particles can weigh less when surrounded by dense nuclear matter。 The findings support long-standing theories about how the vacuum of space i
A breakthrough in brain-inspired computing could make today’s energy-hungry AI systems far more efficient。 Researchers have engineered a new nanoelectronic device using a modified form of hafnium oxide that mimics how neurons process and store information at the same time。 Unlike conventional chips that waste energy moving data back and forth, this
Curiosity has detected a surprising variety of organic molecules on Mars, including compounds tied to the chemistry of life。 Some of these molecules may be billions of years old, preserved in ancient clay-rich rocks that once held water。 One standout find resembles building blocks of DNA, raising exciting questions about Mars’ past
A group of undergraduate students pulled off something remarkable: they built their own dark matter detector and used it to probe one of physics’ biggest mysteries。 Working with limited resources but plenty of creativity, they designed a stripped-down experiment to hunt for axions — hypothetical particles that could make up dark matter
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 increasing it。 The result is a tiny memory unit that improves as it gets smaller—something once thought impos
