Researchers discovered a way to control magnetic and electronic properties using light pulses in ultra-thin materials. This breakthrough could lead to faster, more energy-efficient electronics that don't generate heat.
Swiss researchers have discovered that escaping light from tiny quantum engines isn't just waste heat but contains energy we can actually use. This breakthrough helps unlock new possibilities for ultra-precise quantum technologies.
Researchers built a fully synthetic cell from scratch that divides and copies its DNA, sparking debate about whether it counts as alive. The team launched a public benefit corporation to share the breakthrough with scientists worldwide.
A breakthrough quantum communication device, now small enough to fit in your palm, is protecting millions of phone calls and messages across China. What once seemed impossible is now safeguarding everyday communications for over six million people.
Scientists finally detected a gentle wind flowing from the supermassive black hole at our galaxy's center, solving a puzzle that has stumped astronomers for five decades. The discovery reveals that even "quiet" black holes continuously shape their cosmic neighborhoods.
A warehouse robot just ran for 24 hours straight on electricity beamed through the air by laser, shattering two world records. The breakthrough could mean drones and robots that never need battery changes.
Researchers discovered a cellular clue that could help doctors spot type 1 diabetes before it fully develops. The breakthrough offers hope for catching and potentially stopping the disease earlier than ever before.
Scientists created tiny uterus models that can menstruate and regenerate, revealing how the body heals without scars. The breakthrough could transform how we treat wounds and tissue damage.
NASA just fired up a revolutionary plasma thruster at power levels never before achieved in the United States, bringing human missions to Mars closer to reality. The breakthrough could slash the weight of Mars-bound spacecraft by 90 percent.
Arizona State University researchers just cracked a mystery that could lead to new treatments for tularemia, a deadly tick-borne disease so potent that just 10 bacterial cells can cause infection. For the first time, scientists isolated and studied the proteins that help this dangerous pathogen survive inside human cells.
Researchers created a smarter way to identify game-changing scientific discoveries, from evolution to antibiotics. The tool could help funders invest in research that truly transforms our world.
Google is inviting researchers worldwide to submit experimental proposals for its breakthrough Willow quantum processor. This marks a major step toward making cutting-edge quantum computing accessible beyond tech giants.
