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......
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......
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......
The Palestinian American chemist Omar Yaghi, who shared the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for pioneering metal organic frameworks, has turned a childhood shaped by water scarcity into a technology that can draw drinking water directly from the air, even in some of the driest places on Earth. His company,......
Scientists in China and the United States have unveiled a wave of new battery designs that aim to reduce fire risk, cut reliance on scarce metals and limit environmental damage, marking a significant step toward safer, more sustainable energy storage. The latest results span organic lithium cells, water-based......
Two new scientific studies are reshaping understanding of Antarctica’s geological past and its potential future, linking slow-moving forces deep within the Earth to the evolution of the continent’s vast ice sheets. Researchers have traced the origins of Antarctica’s so called gravity......
Archaeologists have identified what may be the world’s oldest known sewn animal hide among a collection of Ice Age artifacts recovered from caves in central Oregon, offering rare material evidence of advanced clothing techniques used by early communities to endure extreme cold. The findings, published......
An experiment conducted aboard the International Space Station has shown that microbes can extract valuable platinum group metals from meteorite material in microgravity, offering a potential pathway for sustainable resource extraction during future deep space missions. The BioAsteroid experiment, led......
Artificial intelligence is reshaping how scientists investigate complex physical systems, with new advances enabling faster and more precise simulations of phenomena ranging from liquid behavior to electron dynamics in water. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth announced this week that they have......
China on Wednesday successfully conducted a flight test of its Long March 10 carrier rocket and the crewed Mengzhou spacecraft, marking a major milestone in its plan to send astronauts to the Moon by 2030. The launch took place at 11:00 a.m. Beijing time from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan......
