As reported in Advanced Photonics, researchers in South Africa have shown how it is possible to find distortion-free forms of light that come out of a noisy channel exactly the same as they were put in. Using atmospheric turbulence as an example, they showed …

In the world around us processes appear to follow a certain time-direction: dandelions eventually turn into blowballs. However, the quantum realm does not play by the same rules. Physicists from the University of Vienna and IQOQI Vienna have now shown that fo…

Researchers have developed a Raman microscope that acquires information hundreds of times faster than the conventional design. This technology development expands the usefulness of Raman microscopy in biomedical applications.

Students at St Joseph’s National School Templerainey in Arklow were seeing stars earlier this month, when renowned astrophysicist and software developer Dr Patrick Kavanagh dropped by his old school to teach pupils about the enormous James Webb Space Te…

Astronomers say they've determined Jupiter has the most moons in solar system.

Exactly where to look for, and how to observe, comet C/2022 E3 ZTF before it's too late.

A synthetic biosensor that mimics properties found in cell membranes and provides an electronic readout of activity could lead to a better understanding of cell biology, development of new drugs, and the creation of sensory organs on a chip capable of detecti…

Telescopes in Hawaii and Chile have discovered a dozen new moons around Jupiter, bringing the total to 92 moons -- more than any planet in our solar system.#...

We may soon be able to detect humidity levels, respiratory changes or a too-wet diaper, all with a new type of sensor — one created by drawing with a pencil on specially-treated paper.

Cavemen had a taste for the good life.

Gianluca Masi from the Virtual Telescope Project captured imagery of comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) on Feb. 7 and Jan. 29, 2023. The comet's closest approach to Earth...

Microsoft unveiled new versions of its Bing internet-search engine and Edge browser powered by the newest technology from ChatGPT maker OpenAI.

A team of theorists has extended their previous critical analysis of the Lead Radius Experiment (PREX). The experiment involved deducing the neutron size of a lead atom's nucleus by measuring a tiny left-right asymmetry in electron scattering off lead-208.

In this ‘NOVA’ presentation on PBS, Senegalese astronomer Maram Kaire assists in the mission of NASA’s probe Lucy as he navigates the challenges of being a scientist in his traditional Muslim nation.

The 5,000 mph reentry was a rough one and one of the four astronauts who just spent a week orbiting the moon has a spinal injury. That was the scenario being practiced by NASA’s Landing and Recovery team for Artemis II, which plans to fly humans beyond low-Ea…

In 2015, when NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft encountered the Pluto-Charon system, the Southwest Research Institute-led science team discovered interesting, geologically active objects instead of the inert icy orbs previously envisioned. An SwRI scientist has …

The Australian Academy of Science will assemble Australia’s leading experts to discuss the future of the Great Barrier Reef under different climate scenarios and ways to boost its health and

A combination of geological interpretations and thermal-orbital evolution models implies that Charon had a subsurface liquid ocean that eventually froze.

NASA has selected veteran astronaut Joe Acaba as chief of the Astronaut Office at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. A decorated veteran of multiple spaceflights, as well a former U.S. Marine and former educator, Acaba is the first person of Hispan…

Researchers have detected a previously unknown layer of partially molten rock beneath Earth's crust.

A previously unknown layer of partially molten rock has been detected beneath Earth's crust. The discovery could help scientists learn more about the motions of Earth's tectonic plates.

New research has once again illustrated that the Neanderthals were neither primitive nor unsophisticated. It shows that Neanderthals living in a cave near Lisbon, Portugal 90,000 years ago enjoyed a rich and diverse diet that included healthy amounts of crab …

As of Monday, Feb 6, the car has officially been in space for exactly five years...

The bluestreak cleaner wrasse attacks composite images of its own body and another fish’s head — but not pictures of its own head on another fish’s body.

Astronomers are finding more and more exoplanets on polar orbits around their stars. They're not exactly sure why.
