A time crystal, as originally proposed in 2012, is a new state of matter in which the particles are in continuous oscillatory motion. Time crystals break time-translation symmetry. Discrete time crystals do so by oscillating under the influence of a periodic …

Using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), Chinese astronomers have observed a pair of galaxies known as Arp 269. They detected extended tidal tails emerging from this system. The finding was reported in a paper published April 28…

On May 8, according to a report from the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, a team led by academician Wang Weihua recently conducted systematic material science research on lunar soil samples collected by Chang'E-5 mission from a unique perspe…

Black holes are one of the most mysterious objects that exist in space. They are formed when a star implodes. It is also present at the centre of giant galaxies. Its gravitational pull is so...

Help us visualise how much of the Universe we know and don’t know and win a trip to mission control as ESA’s Euclid mission launches into space no earlier than July to unlock the mysteries of the Dark Universe.

New experiments have called into question a popular explanation for the properties that give rise to dry land. Despite being a crucial factor in making Earth a hospitable place for life compared to other planets in the solar system, the origins and unique cha…

A team of physicists, engineers, and mathematicians developed a new theory of multilegged locomotion and created many-legged robotic models, discovering the robot with redundant legs could move across uneven surfaces without any additional sensing or control …

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is onto something out of the world, quite literally. It is currently undertaking the task of developing a snake-like robot which is said to explore internal and enclosed dynamic terrain structures, asse…

In our solar system, the planetary orbits all have a similar orientation. Their orbital planes vary by a few degrees, but roughly the planets all orbit in the same direction. This invariable plane as it's known also has an orientation within a few degrees of …

New fabric is 30% lighter in weight than cotton and keeps wearers warmer at colder temperatures

As NASA’s desire for planned crewed missions to Mars becomes reality, establishing safe human settlements for life off-Earth is one of the agency’s most urgent tasks.

The motion of an electron in a strong infrared laser field is tracked in real time by means of a novel method developed by MPIK physicists and applied to confirm quantum-dynamics theory by cooperating researchers at MPI-PKS. The experimental approach links th…

During a spacewalk outside the International Space Station on May 3, 2023, Russian cosmonaut Sergey Prokopyev jettisoned a "5-kilogram bundle of obsolete har...

Traces left from the explosion of the first stars in the universe have been seen in clouds of gas dating back to 11 billion years ago, when the universe was still very young, according to a new Italian-led study. © ANSA

It’s all to do with how shuffling a DNA sequence affects the molecule’s shape.

According to the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign investigators, newly developed “smart” coatings for surgical orthopedic implants can detect strain on the devices to provide early warning of implant failures while destroying infection-causing bacteria.

Computer scientists who helped build the foundations of today's artificial intelligence technology and those who steer its direction have all been...
