Jupiter-bound spacecraft captures striking images of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS

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,......

China explores space solar station concept to weaken typhoons

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......

Cornell imaging method reveals atomic scale defects in semiconductor chips

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......

Six planets to align in weekend sky event

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 departs after brief stop in our skies

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......

Satellite mega-constellations raise climate and ozone concerns

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......

Microrobot swarms use spinning flows to move massive objects

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......

Nobel laureate’s desert device pulls drinking water from dry air

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,......

Researchers push safer eco-friendly batteries from lab concept to reality

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......

Scientists trace antarctic gravity hole to 70 million years of deep earth shifts

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......

12,000 year old elk hide in Oregon may be oldest sewn garment

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......

Microbes extract platinum metals from meteorites in space station test

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......

German researchers develop AI to predict liquid properties

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......
