Oct. 15, 2020 — In a surprising discovery, astronomers have found a star cluster in the Andromeda Galaxy that contains a record-breaking low amount of metals, calling into question the so-called ...
Oct. 15, 2020 — Using a brain-inspired approach, scientists have developed a way for robots to have the artificial intelligence (AI) to recognize pain and to self-repair when ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — In 2015, the New Horizons space probe discovered spectacular snowcapped mountains on Pluto, which are strikingly similar to mountains on Earth. Such a landscape had never before been observed ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Intelligent cameras could be one step closer thanks to researchers who have developed cameras that can learn and understand what they are ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Astronomers have found that the total number of globular clusters around Dragonfly 44 and, therefore, the dark matter content, is much less than earlier findings had suggested, which shows that this ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Gravitational-wave scientists reveal that when two black holes collide and merge, the remnant black hole 'chirps' not once, but multiple times, emitting gravitational waves -- intense ...
Oct. 13, 2020 — Researchers have invented an earphone that can continuously track full facial expressions by observing the contour of the cheeks - and can then translate expressions into emojis or silent speech ...
Oct. 12, 2020 — Astronomers have spotted a rare blast of light from a star being ripped apart by a supermassive black hole. The phenomenon, known as a tidal disruption event, is the closest such flare recorded to ...
Oct. 12, 2020 — A team of researchers has discovered that a variety of exotic electronic states, including a rare form of magnetism, can arise in a three-layer graphene ...
Oct. 12, 2020 — Wearable sensors are evolving from watches and electrodes to bendable devices that provide far more precise biometric measurements and comfort for users. Now, an international team of researchers has ...
Oct. 11, 2020 — While on COVID lockdown, a college student has written a research paper on a star system dubbed one of the 'exotic peacocks of the stellar ...
Oct. 9, 2020 — Seismic waves, commonly associated with earthquakes, have been used by scientists to develop a universal scaling law for the sense of touch. A team used Rayleigh waves to create the first scaling law ...
Oct. 9, 2020 — Propelled by chemical changes in surface tension, microrobots surfing across fluid interfaces lead researchers to new ...
Oct. 8, 2020 — New findings from NASA's OSIRIS-REx mission suggest that the interior of the asteroid Bennu could be weaker and less dense than its outer layers -- like a crème-filled chocolate egg flying ...
Oct. 8, 2020 — Researchers studied the atmosphere of the ultra-hot exoplanet WASP-121b. In it, they found a number of gaseous metals. The results are a next step in the search for potentially habitable ...
Oct. 8, 2020 — Researchers have made observations of a new magnetar, called Swift J1818.0-1607, which challenges current knowledge about two types of extreme stars, known as magnetars and ...
Oct. 8, 2020 — For 100 years scientists have disagreed on how to interpret quantum mechanics. A recent study supports an interpretation that is close to classical scientific ...
Oct. 8, 2020 — Researchers processed silk fibers into a versatile component of bioink for 3D cell printing technology. Printed objects retain their shape better than those produced without the silk additive, and ...
Oct. 7, 2020 — New research details the phenomenon of what is called 'triplet superconductivity' in diamond. Triplet superconductivity occurs when electrons move in a composite spin state rather than as a ...
Oct. 7, 2020 — A growing body of research suggests the planet Venus may have had an Earth-like environment billions of years ago, with water and a thin ...
