3+ hour, 46+ min ago  (495+ words) The Sun is experiencing long-term changes, as revealed by an international team of researchers led by the University of Birmingham, who have identified a major squeeze in the four most recent solar activity cycles. A recent paper in the Monthly…...

3+ week, 2+ day ago  (347+ words) Promising new fusion research is revealing how plasma can spontaneously generate its magnetic field, in a fundamental breakthrough for one of the world's most important emergent energy technologies. Researchers reported their plasma simulations in a recent paper published in Physical…...

3+ week, 6+ day ago  (482+ words) A clean energy breakthrough has been reported by UK researchers, who say they have discovered new "in-between states" as molecular precursors break down when heated, uncovering previously unknown synthetic materials. First reported in a recent paper in Nature Communications, the…...

4+ week, 3+ hour ago  (746+ words) University of East Anglia scientists have uncovered what they described as a "hidden property of light" that they used to make it twist, spin, and behave differently. Critically, the seemingly impossible feat was accomplished without any mirrors, exotic materials, or…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago  (796+ words) Lightning in a bottle, in a literal sense, may be the key to an innovative way to obtain clean energy by reducing carbon emissions in methanol production, signaling a promising new potential for fuel applications. Published in the Journal of…...

1+ mon, 4+ week ago  (355+ words) Scientists at Australian National University (ANU) have reported the first confirmed observation of atoms engaged in one of the most perplexing behaviors known to modern physics: the apparent ability to exist in two entirely separate places at once. The phenomenon,…...

2+ mon, 3+ day ago  (875+ words) University of Kentucky researchers exploring potential uses for stillage, the sloshy, soup-like byproduct of Kentucky bourbon production, have converted the hard-to-treat material into an electrode for a "super" supercapacitor. The UK research team said that their stillage-derived "super" supercapacitor stores…...

2+ mon, 2+ week ago  (712+ words) Research funded by the United States Army Research Lab (ARL) has developed a composite "super foam" material that absorbs ten times more energy than current energy-absorbing foams. The Texas A&M-led research team behind the advanced, energy-absorbing material said its…...

3+ mon, 3+ week ago  (541+ words) A new study based on James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations reports that organic molecules are much more prevalent outside our galaxy than previously believed, after analyzing data from a heavily obscured supermassive black hole. Researchers from Spain's Center for…...

4+ mon, 2+ hour ago  (837+ words) Rice University researchers conducting experiments with virtually identical replicas of the light bulbs designed by Thomas Edison have determined that the 19th-century inventor may have created graphene more than 130 years before scientists confirmed the two-dimensional material's existence. The team behind…...
