Two launches this week delivered 61 more satellites to orbit for the Amazon Leo broadband network

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

Chip shortages and demand from AI enthusiasts are both playing a part

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

Crushing soda cans for science, why dolphins swim so fast, how urine helps mushrooms communicate, and more

Scientists have discovered unexpected water-ice clouds on a distant, Jupiter-like exoplanet, challenging current atmospheric models。 By directly imaging Epsilon Indi Ab with the James Webb Space Telescope, they found less ammonia than expected—likely hidden by thick, patchy clouds。 The finding reveals new layers of complexity in giant planets and s

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

Acoustic fire suppression goes commercial

AWS stops billing Middle East cloud customers as repairs to war damage drag on

After two centuries of failed attempts, scientists have finally grown dolomite in the lab, cracking a long-standing geological puzzle。 They discovered that the mineral’s growth stalls because of tiny defects—but in nature, those flaws get washed away over time。 By mimicking this process with precise simulations and electron beam pulses, the team ac

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

A decades-old cosmic mystery has finally been cracked: the strange X-rays coming from the bright star gamma-Cas are caused by a hidden stellar companion feeding off it。 Using cutting-edge observations from the XRISM space mission, astronomers discovered that an unseen white dwarf star is siphoning material from gamma-Cas, heating it to extreme temp

Scientists have created a powerful new way to control quantum systems, achieving the first-ever demonstration of quadsqueezing—an elusive fourth-order quantum effect。 By combining simple forces in a clever way, they made previously hidden quantum behaviors visible and usable, opening new frontiers for quantum technology

AI-powered personas are becoming so realistic that they can infiltrate online communities and subtly steer public opinion。 Unlike traditional bots, they adapt, coordinate, and refine their messaging at a massive scale, creating a false sense of consensus。 Early warning signs—like deepfakes and fake news networks—have already appeared in global elec

Astronomers have unleashed a powerful new AI tool called RAVEN to comb through data from NASA’s TESS mission—and it’s paying off in a big way。 By analyzing millions of stars, the system has confirmed over 100 exoplanets, including 31 brand-new worlds, and identified thousands more promising candidates。 What makes this especially exciting is the dis

"We had serious inbound attempts to the cosmodrome that day

A major discovery is reshaping how scientists think about catalysts。 Researchers have, for the first time, captured oxygen atoms moving through the interior of a catalyst—not just along its surface。 This reveals that the bulk material can actively participate in reactions, opening a new frontier in catalyst design

Scientists have uncovered the true boundary of the Milky Way’s star-forming region using stellar “age mapping。” They found a telltale U-shaped pattern showing that star formation drops sharply around 35,000–40,000 light-years from the center。 Beyond that, stars are mostly migrants, slowly drifting outward rather than forming in place

A mysterious magnetic material once thought to host an exotic “quantum spin liquid” has turned out to be something entirely different—and possibly just as intriguing。 Scientists studying cerium magnesium hexalluminate found it showed the hallmark signs of this elusive quantum state, like a lack of magnetic order and a spread of energy states。 But a
