Squishy Robotics Inc. develops impact-resistant, spherical robots using the principle of tensegrity for applications ranging from disaster response to space exploration. Originally funded by a…
Geologists have uncovered evidence suggesting that the planet did not experience complete glaciation during the ice age that occurred 635 million years ago. Earth has…
Researchers from the Max Born Institute in Berlin have successfully performed X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) experiments in a laser laboratory for the first time….
Early childhood intake of a higher than recommended dose of vitamin D3 may reduce psychiatric symptoms in later childhood, according to a Finnish study. Children…
Decades of retreat are visible from above, but harder-to-see changes below the waterline could also affect this iconic glacier’s future. Petermann Glacier is one of…
Cornell researchers have devised a way to utilize chemical reactions for the self-folding of microscale origami machines, allowing them to work in dry, room-temperature conditions….
Scientists have developed a superlattice of semiconductor quantum dots that functions like a metal, a significant leap forward in harnessing quantum dots’ full potential. The…
Researchers from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have recently revised the commonly held genetic assumptions about autism spectrum disorder (ASD). For many years, scientists believed…
A survey reports that 19% of U.S. academics have witnessed or know someone who has witnessed Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), and 37% show interest in…
Scientists have reactivated the upgraded Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) after a three-year break, improving its ability to measure gravitational waves. These waves offer new…
The utilization of machine learning techniques unveils valuable insights into a broad category of materials under investigation for solid-state batteries. Researchers from Duke University and…
Lab analysis suggests for the first time that reduced oxygen intake might extend mammalian lifespan. Researchers have found that reduced oxygen intake, or “oxygen restriction,”…
Walking, a complex activity, is often performed simultaneously with other tasks such as conversing, reading signs, or making decisions. Notably, for many individuals over 65,…
New research on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) identifies an abnormality in the serotonin 2A/C receptor, often seen in SIDS cases and linked to protective…
Once a star evolves beyond the main sequence – the longest stage of stellar evolution, during which the radiation generated by nuclear fusion in a…
Scientists from Korea’s POSTECH and the US’ Northeastern University have successfully manipulated light using non-Hermitian meta-gratings, turning optical loss into a beneficial tool. They’ve developed…
NASA’s Cassini mission data suggests that Saturn’s rings are young, possibly only a few hundred million years old, and could disappear in a similar timescale….
Scientists used ground-based telescopes to get unprecedented views, thanks to the giant planet’s position in its long orbit around the Sun. For the first time,…
