A new chip design from UC San Diego could make data centers far more energy-efficient by rethinking how power is converted for GPUs。 By combining vibrating piezoelectric components with a clever circuit layout, the system overcomes limitations of traditional designs。 The prototype achieved impressive efficiency and delivered much more power than pr
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
In a striking glimpse into extreme physics, scientists have captured the split-second chaos that unfolds when powerful laser flashes blast matter into a superheated plasma。 By combining two cutting-edge lasers, researchers were able to track how copper atoms lose and regain electrons in trillionths of a second, creating and dissolving highly charge
Astronomers have long been puzzled by a cosmic mystery: planets orbiting two stars—like Star Wars’ Tatooine—are surprisingly rare, even though they should be common。 New research suggests the culprit is none other than Einstein’s theory of general relativity
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,
Scientists have pulled off a first: teleporting a photon’s state between two separate quantum dots。 This was done over a 270-meter open-air link, proving quantum information can travel between independent devices。 The achievement marks a key step toward building quantum networks for ultra-secure communication
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
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
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
Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has been pushed even further。 For the first time, researchers have observed wave-like interference in positronium, an exotic “atom” made of an electron and its antimatter partner, a positron。 This breakthrough not only strengthen
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
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 spectacular cosmic event nicknamed “SN Winny” could help solve one of astronomy’s biggest mysteries: how fast the universe is expanding。 This rare superluminous supernova, located 10 billion light-years away, appears five times in the sky thanks to gravitational lensing, creating a dazzling “cosmic fireworks” effect。 By measuring the slight delay
A mysterious cosmic explosion has astronomers buzzing, as a strange event may hint at an entirely new kind of stellar cataclysm。 After detecting ripples in space-time, scientists spotted a fast-fading red glow that initially looked like a rare kilonova—the kind of collision that forges gold and uranium。 But just days later, the signal shifted, beha
Calling AI things like “smart” or saying it “knows” something might sound harmless, but it can quietly mislead people about what AI actually does。 A new study shows that news writers are more careful than expected, rarely using strongly human-like language。 When they do, it often falls on a spectrum—sometimes describing simple requirements, other t
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
