Physicists at the University of Oregon have produced the first computer model of an “ideal glass,” a theoretical form of matter in which molecules are packed as tightly and stably as possible while still maintaining the disordered structure typical of glass. The achievement, reported in Physical......
Scientists from the University of Warwick and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have directly observed how microscopic networks on catalyst surfaces coordinate chemical reactions, challenging long standing assumptions about how catalysts function. The discovery could accelerate the development......
Researchers analyzing more than four decades of solar observations have discovered that the internal structure of the Sun changes subtly between periods of low magnetic activity, a finding that could improve predictions of solar storms and their effects on Earth. A team from the University of Birmingham......
A European Space Agency spacecraft traveling toward Jupiter has captured detailed images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, revealing a bright coma and a long tail of gas and dust as the rare visitor speeds away from the solar system. The observations were made by the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer mission,......
Chinese researchers have achieved a major milestone in space communications by maintaining a stable two way laser link with a geostationary satellite for more than three hours, demonstrating progress in high speed optical data transmission between Earth and space. The experiment, announced on March......
Chinese researchers working on an ambitious space based solar power project say the technology could eventually serve purposes beyond clean energy generation, including the possibility of weakening typhoons and wirelessly recharging satellites across space. Duan Baoyan, the chief scientist behind China’s......
An international team of scientists has adapted a 270-year-old physics principle to develop a sodium-ion battery that endures more than 10,000 charge and discharge cycles, potentially reducing reliance on lithium for large-scale energy storage. The research, published in the journal Small, brought......
A Cornell led team has directly imaged atomic scale defects inside advanced computer chips, using a high resolution three dimensional electron microscopy technique developed with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Advanced Semiconductor Materials. The method, based on multislice electron......
A rare planetary alignment will be visible this weekend as six planets—Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, and Jupiter form an arc across the night sky. NASA says the so‑called “planetary parade” will peak on February 28, offering a fleeting chance to observe multiple planets......
Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is now racing away from the inner solar system after a fleeting but revealing visit that has given astronomers fresh insight into the chemistry of deep space. The icy body is only the third confirmed object known to have entered our planetary neighborhood from another star......
Minor drops in humidity can cause lipid molecules in membranes to rearrange dramatically, as researchers at Lund University have shown in a study that could reshape how scientists think about skin, lungs and other protective barriers. The team found that when water evaporates from a membrane made of......
The rapid expansion of satellite constellations in low Earth orbit is drawing increasing concern from the scientific community. Researchers warn that the routine incineration of decommissioned satellites as they reenter the atmosphere could alter Earth’s climate and threaten the ozone layer. As......
Swarms of magnetic microrobots can now rotate and transport objects tens of thousands of times heavier than a single robot by stirring surrounding liquid instead of pushing directly on their targets. Each microrobot is a tiny disk roughly 300 micrometers across that spins under a controlled magnetic......
