A quick electric pulse completely flips the material's electronic properties, opening a route to ultrafast, brain-inspired, superconducting electronics.

The LuSEE Night mission to the far side of the Moon will launch in 2025 and chart a new pathway to Lunar observatories.

Dr. Shing Chi Leung, SUNY Poly assistant professor of physics, has published a review article as the leading author on the origin of Type Ia supernovae. The article is co-authored with Dr. Ken'ichi Nomoto, Professor Emeritus of The University of Tokyo, in the…

It was a good week for physics as a pair of physicists at the University of Luxembourg, Alexandre Tkatchenko and Dmitry V. Fedorov, took a new approach to solving the mystery of dark energy—they proposed using quantum scaling to describe characteristics of qu…

The robot lays down a variety of rock and environmental specimens for potential return to Earth.

Researchers are investigating how disease-causing fungi become resistant to antifungal drugs to help prevent potentially devastating consequences of the growing resistance harmful microbes are developing to drugs.“Antimicrobial drugs are fundamental

In the inner ear, there are two different types of sensory cells that are responsible for hearing. An MHH research team has now identified the molecular switch for the formation of these inner and outer hair cells and thus found an important building block fo…

Polaris Dawn is the first of three missions of the Polaris Program.

Physicists have invented a new type of analog quantum computer that can tackle hard physics problems that the most powerful digital supercomputers cannot solve.

Astronomers have warned that an asteroid that whizzed past Earth harmlessly last week has highlighted a blind spot in our ability to spot dangerous space...

Switchgrass takes a break during the summer. Solving the puzzle of why could help it realize its full potential as a low-cost biofuel crop.

Former bug-eating plants, which evolved to feed on animal droppings instead, have a more nutritious diet than their carnivorous cousins, a new study finds.

Theory has it that “Population III” stars brought light to the cosmos. The James Webb Space Telescope may have just glimpsed them.

An international team of scientists from the University of Luxembourg, Berlin Institute for the Foundations of Learning and Data (BIFOLD) at TU Berlin and Google has now successfully developed a machine learning algorithm to tackle large and complex quantum s…

A low-power Faraday rotation spectroscopy (FRS) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) sensor basing on ring array permanent magnets was proposed by researchers led by Prof. Gao Xiaoming from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), …

Natural products that protect plants from a common disease.

The recently-discovered comet will be visible as it makes its closest approach to Earth this week. Here’s how and when to see it.

The Carruthers Geocorona Observatory will observe an area of Earth's outer atmosphere called the geocorona.

Researchers made an out-of-this-world discovery in Antarctica's frozen landscape when they found a nearly 20-pound meteorite that contains some of the oldest materials in our solar system lying among the snow and ice.

A new study from Simon Fraser University (SFU) suggests that nutrients obtained from salmon carcasses can affect the growth and reproduction of plants. The research is published in <i>Royal Society Open Science</i>.

A 650-million-years-old meteorite found in Africa shows the rich and complex chemistry that once happened on Mars.

Ultimately, lives might depend on the quality of that training.

Having levels of potassium that are too high or too low can be fatal. A new mathematical model sheds light on the often mysterious ways the body regulates this important electrolyte. Potassium, a common mineral abundant in food like bananas and leafy greens, …

Scientists recently secured five new meteorites in Antarctica. One of these space rocks is among the heaviest meteorites found on the frozen continent.
