Shivon Zilis worked closely with Elon Musk while she was on OpenAI’s board。 Her ties to the world’s richest man were detailed in a landmark trial on Wednesday
Beneath the beauty of coral reefs lies a hidden universe of microbes unlike anything scientists expected。 Each coral species supports its own specialized microbial partners, many of which have never been studied before。 These microbes produce a stunning variety of chemical compounds with potential uses in medicine and biotech
Hubble has revealed a giant planet-forming disk unlike anything astronomers have seen before。 Nicknamed “Dracula’s Chivito,” the enormous structure appears turbulent and oddly lopsided, with towering filaments visible on only one side。 The disk contains enough material to potentially create multiple giant planets, making it a fascinating new labora
Scientists are using sunlight to turn plastic waste into clean fuels like hydrogen, offering a breakthrough solution to both pollution and energy challenges。 While still in development, the approach could transform trash into a valuable resource for a low-carbon future
Astronomers have spotted something surprising in the far outer Solar System—a faint, short-lived atmosphere clinging to a tiny icy world that shouldn’t be able to hold one at all。 The object, called 2002 XV93, is far smaller than Pluto, yet observations during a rare stellar alignment revealed its presence through a subtle dimming of starlight。 Eve
A bizarre planetary pairing 190 light-years away is challenging everything astronomers thought they knew about how worlds form。 A “lonely” hot Jupiter — typically found without nearby companions — is sharing its system with a smaller mini-Neptune tucked even closer to the star, a setup once thought nearly impossible
Scientists may have uncovered a surprising secret behind why life exists at all。 A new study suggests that the Universe’s fundamental constants — the deep physical rules that govern everything from atoms to stars — appear to sit within an incredibly narrow “sweet spot” that allows liquids to flow properly inside living cells。 Even tiny shifts in th
A medieval monk may have beaten Edmond Halley to one of astronomy’s greatest discoveries by nearly 700 years。 Researchers say Eilmer of Malmesbury recognized that the blazing comet seen in 1066 was the same one he had witnessed in 989。 At the time, comets were viewed as terrifying omens tied to war and royal deaths, adding even more drama to the fa
A mysterious comet from beyond our solar system is giving astronomers a rare glimpse into alien worlds — and it may have formed in a place far colder and stranger than anything around our Sun。 The interstellar visitor, called 3I/ATLAS, contains an astonishingly high amount of “heavy water,” far exceeding anything seen in our own solar system
Researchers at Stanford have developed a compact optical amplifier that dramatically boosts light signals using very little power。 By recycling energy inside a looping resonator, the device achieves strong amplification with minimal noise and wide bandwidth。 Its efficiency and small size mean it could run on batteries and be integrated into consume
A team at the University of Hong Kong has developed a new “super steel” that can survive the harsh conditions needed to make green hydrogen from seawater。 The material uses an unexpected double-protection mechanism that resists corrosion far better than conventional stainless steel。 Even more impressive, it could replace costly titanium parts used
A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach it。 Researchers used the method to simulate extraordinarily complex quantum materials known as quasicrystals, opening the door to powerful new quantum devices and ultra-efficient electronics。 The work could help scientists de
NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is about to pull off a dramatic close flyby of Mars, skimming just 2,800 miles above the planet to get a powerful gravitational boost on its journey to the mysterious metal-rich asteroid Psyche。 The maneuver will save propellant while giving mission scientists a rare chance to test and calibrate the spacecraft’s instruments
Creating complex molecules usually requires years of experience and countless decisions, but a new AI system is changing that。 Synthegy lets chemists guide synthesis and reaction planning using simple language, while powerful algorithms generate and evaluate possible solutions。 The AI doesn’t just compute—it reasons, scoring pathways and explaining
