In the U.S., the New Moon occurs tonight, Dec. 19, when the Moon is nearly invisible in the night sky, ending the waning crescent phase and beginning a new lunar cycle. However, in…
Abstract
Biodegradable artificial synapses hold great promise for sustainable neuromorphic electronics, yet combining long-term memory, ultralow energy consumption, and mechanical robustness remains challenging. Here, we report a fully…
Research conducted by two physicists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the US reveals that clocks on Mars tick 477-millionths of a second (or 477 microseconds) faster per day, on average, compared to Earth…
Long before scientists discovered that other stars in the Universe host their own planetary systems, humanity had contemplated the existence of life beyond Earth. As our technology matured and we began monitoring the night sky in…
A multi-institution research team has unveiled AIRES (Algorithmic Iterative Reticular Synthesis), a powerful AI-driven platform designed to dramatically speed up the discovery of new crystalline materials. Published recently in Nature Synthesis,…
Astronomers may have just seen the first ever ‘superkilonova,’ a combination of a supernova and a kilonova. These are two very different kinds of stellar explosions, and if this discovery stands, it could change the way scientists…
