Scientists from Australia and the US pulled off this tricky measurement … Read more
Quantum systems do not fail silently; they fall in the blink of an eye. In less time than it takes light to travel through a virus, a carefully ordered quantum state can break down, losing the coherence that makes quantum technology so powerful. For many years, this rapid separation occurs within one to two femtoseconds … Read more
For the first time, scientists have strong evidence that there is a large volcanic crater beneath the surface of Venus. By reanalyzing radar images from NASA’s Magellan mission, a team from the University of Trento has identified what appears to be a large lava flow beneath the Nyx Mons volcano. Work, published in a newspaper … Read more
Here’s what you’ll learn by reading this story: Scientists fired lasers at semiconductor nano-lasagna to show how electrons behave. In the right conditions, electrons become polarons, pulling oppositely charged atoms for a ride. The researchers took pictures of the newly born quasiparticle and measured its energy and mass. Scientists at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich … Read more
Ice columns are among the most fascinating objects in our solar system, and Uranus has just topped the list. The 2022 Annual Survey from National Schools has identified this as a key priority area for future study. However, despite strong approval, there is no advanced mission suitable for the launch opportunities expected in the 2030s. … Read more

A photon from a star billions of light-years away takes no time to reach a telescope. It’s not too little time. There is nothing. That result is not a measured or poetic way of speaking. It comes directly from the mathematics of special relativity, and it points to another strange thing about the nature of … Read more
NASA astronauts are set to take off Wednesday on a 10-day journey that will propel them to the moon, marking the first human return to the lunar surface in more than half a century. The Lockheed Martin-built Orion capsule, which sits on a Boeing-made Space Launch System rocket, is scheduled to launch at 6.24 pm … Read more
For the first time, an astronomer has seen a comet change its speed and direction of rotation, thanks to a new analysis. The Hubble Telescope photos. The unexpected change is caused by “outgassing” jets that shoot an icy mixture of gas and dust into the solar system, according to a new study. Well, named 41P … Read more
