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

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 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong。 Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall。 For decades, researchers suspected this might be possible but couldn’t prove it—until now

Scientists have unveiled a breakthrough imaging method that can capture the hidden details of events unfolding in trillionths of a second。 This new technique doesn’t just track how bright something is—it also reveals subtle structural changes that were previously invisible, all in a single shot。 By effectively turning ultrafast phenomena into detai

"We had serious inbound attempts to the cosmodrome that day

Engineers at Northwestern University have taken a striking leap toward merging machines with the human brain by printing artificial neurons that can actually communicate with real ones。 These flexible, low-cost devices generate lifelike electrical signals capable of activating living brain cells, a breakthrough demonstrated in mouse brain tissue

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

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

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

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

In addition to being full of screens, China now wants its cars to be packed with AI

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

Acoustic fire suppression goes commercial

Overtuning can cause models to "prioritize user satisfaction over truthfulness

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

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

We'll soon get to see the brand's first EV; first, a more honed V12 four-seater

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