A team at King’s College London has created a powerful new aluminum compound capable of doing the work of expensive rare metals。 Its unique triangular structure gives it remarkable stability and reactivity, allowing it to drive chemical reactions in ways never seen before。 The discovery could lead to greener and far more affordable industrial proce

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

The outage has hampered communication concerning a critical vulnerability that gives root

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 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

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

Overtuning can cause models to "prioritize user satisfaction over truthfulness

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

It's not clear whether Virgin Galactic has the cash reserves to fund a prolonged test phase

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

Doctors suspect three factors, each unremarkable on its own, contributed to his fate

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

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 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 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 light-sensitive crystal is opening the door to a new era of “light-written” technology。 Arsenic trisulfide can be reshaped and permanently altered using simple light, creating ultra-fine optical patterns without expensive manufacturing tools。 Scientists even etched a nanoscale portrait of Einstein and high-density patterns that could act as secur

As the Moon swallowed the Sun during the April 8, 2024, total solar eclipse, something remarkable happened on the ground—cities went eerily quiet。 Scientists analyzing seismic data found that human-generated vibrations, usually caused by traffic, construction, and daily activity, dropped sharply during totality。 The effect was so pronounced that it
