Composite particles with submicron sizes can be produced by irradiating a suspension of nanoparticles with a laser beam. Violent physical and chemical processes take place during irradiation, many of which have to date been poorly understood.

Magnesium diboride superconductors show great promise for large-scale applications. However, its critical current density (the current density above which superconductivity vanishes), Jc , at high magnetic fields in bulk form is not sufficiently high. An inte…

The new product will find Apple competing directly against Meta’s Quest Pro (rumored for a release next month), and PlayStation VR.

The holy grail in our search for exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) is to find one with water and at the right distance from its star for that water to

CO2 and methane can be turned into valuable products. But there is a problem with the catalysts required for this: They end up being covered in a layer of carbon, losing their effectivity. A new catalyst has now been developed which solves this problem and ca…

Mammals possess a novel gene that controls a novel structure in nerve cells.

Physicists have opened an unexplored realm of quantum magnetism by creating the universe's coldest fermions -- atoms about 3 billion times colder than interstellar space. The team published a groundbreaking quantum simulation of a complex 'SU(N) Hubbard' mode…

The push to return humans to the moon begins with Artemis I. A lot has changed since the Saturn V moon rocket days.

The greatest diversity of life is not counted in the number of species, says Utah State University evolutionary geneticist Zachariah Gompert, but in the diversity of interactions among them.

Scientists in Zimbabwe have discovered the remains of Africa's oldest dinosaur, which roamed the earth around 230 million years ago.

A Policy Forum article calls for a new approach to regulating genetically engineered (GE) crops, arguing that current approaches for triggering safety testing vary dramatically among countries and generally lack scientific merit -- particularly as advances in…

NASA and MIT have made a box that converts the carbon-dioxide on Mars into breathable oxygen — a crucial advance if humans want to explore the planet one day.

According to Griffin, a 31-year-old researcher at Yale University, the dinosaur belonged to the sauropodomorph species, the same linage that would eventually include huge long-necked dinosaurs. It was likely an omnivore that consumed plants, small animals, an…

A new study identifies 185 genes sigificantly associated with autism, many for the first time.

Elon Musk and musician Claire "Grimes" Boucher's child X Æ A-12 — or just "X" for short — is already having trouble getting rockets off of the ground.

Ever notice the direction your head tilts while kissing your partner? A new study finds that humans are hardwired to lean right while smooching.

On Mars, something as simple as a shadow feels profound.

Sixty years ago a teenager’s homemade ice cream raised a surprisingly complicated question: Can hot liquids freeze faster than cold ones?

Composite particles with submicron sizes can be produced by irradiating a suspension of nanoparticles with a laser beam. Violent physical and chemical processes take place during irradiation, many of which have been poorly understood to date. Recently complet…

A two-legged omnivore, Mbiresaurus raathi walked the planet around 230 million years ago and weighed up to 30kg (66lbs).

While Boeing continues testing the Starliner spacecraft, NASA will continue to rely on SpaceX to reach the International Space Station

An insulin-suppressing protein may be the fountain of youth for ants and provides clues about aging in other species, according to a study led by New York University researchers.

A Policy Forum article published today in Science calls for a new approach to regulating genetically engineered (GE) crops, arguing that current approaches for triggering safety testing vary dramatically among countries and generally lack scientific merit—par…

This story is adapted from a news release from Michigan State University -By Matt Davenport Researchers at Michigan State University (MSU), UC Berkeley, the University of Southern Bohemia, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have helped r…

NASA has teamed up with scientists, musicians and a member of visually impaired community to carry out sonification of an image clicked by James Webb Space Telescope
