A jet of particles traveling at nearly the speed of light emerges from a massive star in this artist's concept. The star's core ran out of fuel and collapsed into…
One of the great mysteries of the universe is how it expands. The phenomenon causing this expansion is known as dark energy — and recently scientists have begun to wonder…
An international team of scientists has found that oxygen is produced in total darkness approximately 4,000 meters (13,100 feet) below the ocean's surface.Previously, it was thought that only living organisms…
Is space solar power an expensive and risky dream? Or is it a viable way to combat climate change? Although beaming solar energy from space to Earth may eventually involve…
Summary: The researchers identified a key mechanism that detects when the brain needs an energy boost involving astrocytes and the molecule adenosine. This discovery could lead to new therapies to…
With the rise of AI, energy and thermal efficiency have once again become pressing issues for companies that use and build chips. The skyrocketing demand for hardware to run AI…
Physicists at the University of California, Berkeley immobilized small clusters of cesium atoms (pink spots) in a vertical vacuum chamber, then split each atom into a quantum state in which…
In a cornerstone of fusion power, new research shows that heat from plasma fusion is spread more evenly in tokamak reactors, offering new ways to improve reactor efficiency and overall…
