Scientists investigate “hycean” exoplanets with hydrogen-rich atmospheres and liquid water oceans, challenging traditional definitions of habitability.
Features
Turning plastic waste into low-cost hydrogen fuels
A flash heating technique breaks down plastic waste and converts it to pure hydrogen and graphene with significantly less emissions and at a low cost.
Simulating a quantum computer with electronic circuits
What if quantum computing could be simulated using hardware that isn’t so finicky?
A pocket-sized PCR test delivers results in 15 minutes
The hand-held device was designed for use by the general public, providing diagnoses in only 15 minutes without the need for appointments and long wait times for results.
Could Doctor Dolittle be an AI bot?
Communicating with animals has long been the dream of scientists and animal lovers alike, and AI has the potential to bring us closer.
Quantum entanglement visualized for the first time ever
The mysterious phenomenon that Einstein once described as “spooky action at a distance” was seen as a wavefunction between two entangled photons.
Unraveling the surprising rise of tiny mammals after dinosaur extinction
We are now learning smaller mammals diversified at a similar rate to larger ones, leading paleontologists to speculate on this explosion in diversity.
How extreme exposure to a common plasticizer might be affecting male fertility
Using mouse embryos, scientists explore the impact of high exposure to a common plasticizer on male fertility, but caution: the dose makes the poison.
Up in the air: Modular robots assemble mid-flight
It may sound like something straight out of an anime, but TRADY is a rotor-based flying robot that can combine to boost its strength and capabilities.
How shape-shifting gratings and lenses are changing optical devices
Tuneable micro-structured surfaces could overcome the limitations of current unchangeable components that result in “static” optical devices.
