Scientists recreated the extreme conditions inside a nuclear fireball and discovered that our safety models have been missing key chemical reactions. Their findings could make nuclear event predictions far more accurate.
A chemistry professor who grew up with a single mother earning $1,200 a year just gave back $3.65 million to his Michigan hometown. The gift will fund education scholarships for generations in honor of the teacher who raised him.
A Chinese supercomputer just claimed the world's fastest title, conducting nearly 2 quadrillion calculations per second. LineShine's breakthrough marks a milestone in computing power that could accelerate everything from climate modeling to medical discoveries.
NASA's upcoming Roman Space Telescope will hunt for tens of millions of hidden neutron stars scattered throughout the Milky Way using a breakthrough detection method. Even finding just one would transform our understanding of how stars die and extreme matter behaves.
After 20 years of research, physicists have cracked the code on why a football's nose tilts downward during a perfect spiral pass. The answer involves a hidden second rotation that's been happening all along.
Researchers created a massive digital map of one million orbits around Earth and the moon to help prevent satellite collisions as space gets more crowded. The breakthrough could save billions in equipment and keep critical GPS and internet services running smoothly.
The Department of Energy just funded new supercomputing projects that will help scientists solve problems once thought impossible. These powerful computers can do in one second what every person on Earth would take five years to calculate.
The Department of Energy just awarded $155 million to 16 projects that will help America's biggest industries slash their energy bills while going green. The funding targets steel, cement, chemical, and food manufacturing with breakthrough technologies that work smarter, not harder.
The most dangerous asteroid ever discovered won't hit Earth or the moon after all, thanks to NASA's powerful James Webb Space Telescope tracking it 280 million miles away. Scientists now have proof that asteroid 2024 YR4 will safely pass by both worlds in December 2032.
Researchers discovered how to control a metal's strength simply by adjusting laser speed during 3D printing, creating materials that can be tailored for any need. The breakthrough turns manufacturing into a design tool for next-generation technology.
A fusion energy startup just signed a major deal with the only lab to prove fusion can produce more power than it consumes. The partnership could bring clean, unlimited energy closer to reality.
Three nations are joining forces to develop breakthrough technology that could pinpoint where earthquakes will hit hardest, potentially saving thousands of lives. The collaboration combines supercomputing power, simulation expertise, and disaster science to solve one of nature's deadliest puzzles.
