Vietnam and Singapore are deepening their partnership in science and technology as the countries upgrade diplomatic ties. The collaboration could create a model for innovation cooperation across Southeast Asia.
That ice pack we've trusted since childhood might be doing more harm than good. McGill University researchers found mice who skipped the ice healed twice as fast as those who didn't.
Scientists in China just created the world's first working computer chip made from atom-thin materials, breaking through a barrier that threatened to end decades of computing progress. The breakthrough could keep our devices getting faster and cheaper for years to come.
An international research team just confirmed one of Earth's largest hidden aquifers stretching beneath the Atlantic Ocean from New Jersey to Maine. This underground freshwater reserve could supply New York City for centuries and hints at a potential solution for our planet's growing water crisis.
A Manhattan startup built a self-driving lab where AI designs new materials around the clock, running as many experiments in a day as human scientists complete in a year. The breakthrough could speed up solutions for clean energy, longer-lasting jet engines, and fusion power.
After 100 years of debate, researchers have finally proven what musicians always knew: a pianist's touch can actually reshape the sound of each note. Even listeners with no musical training can hear the difference.
Tiny wrens on remote Scottish islands are transforming into giants, doubling in size and developing unique songs as scientists watch evolution unfold in real time. Some may become entirely new species within our lifetime.
When Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe spotted a "new star" in 1572, he didn't just witness a supernova—he sparked the scientific revolution that transformed how humanity understands the universe. As AI promises another scientific revolution, this cosmic explosion reminds us how far observation and measurement have brought us.
