The novel method from the University of Central Florida's NanoScience Technology Center could eventually revolutionize technology as varied as mobile phones and electric vehicles. "If they were to replace the batteries with these supercapacitors, you could…

Scientists examined part of Mars' Utopia Planitia region, in the mid-northern latitudes, with the orbiter's ground-penetrating Shallow Radar (SHARAD) instrument. Analyses of data from more than 600 overhead passes with the onboard radar instrument reveal…

Researchers from the U.S. DOE’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) and Princeton University may have solved the mystery surrounding magnetic reconnection, bringing us one step closer to better solar flare prediction and (pmost notably) problems s…

So, scientists found out that there is a second liquid state of water. But what does that actually mean? Well, states of matter are determined by the shape, density, intermolecular distance and various other properties of compounds. So an international team…

Researchers are repurposing decades-old technology to build faster gadgets for the future, creating nanoscale vacuum tubes that could dramatically improve the speed and efficiency of personal electronics and solar panels.

The Europa is the bright orange color and it is completely covered in a thick layer of ice. Its surface has a very strange appearance, unique in the solar system, and it is among the brightest objects, as a result of the reflected sun rays with a relatively…

It might not seem like such a long time, but in past three decades, Earth has changed in immeasurable ways, with cities rising, glaciers falling, and unprecedented disasters reshaping the landscape forever.  With 5 million satellite images taken from 1984…

That’s the conclusion of Steve Jacobsen at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois and his colleagues. Their study is published in Lithos, and was recently picked up by New Scientist.

In February 2016, physicists declared the century-long search for gravitational waves was over. Einstein predicted the existence of such ripples in the fabric of spacetime in 1915, but he doubted their weak signatures could be detected. But more than 1,000…

The Pythagorean Theorem The understanding of geometry is buoyed by this particular theorem. The relationship between each side of a right triangle is explained here before the length of each short side is squared and added and this equals the square of the…

Recently, the Canadian space and defense company, Toth Technology Inc has published video animation, named TothX spaced elevator. In the animation, they presented a ThothX tower, tall 15km with the hotels and an observation deck on its top. They used spiral…

Using sophisticated computer simulations, the team worked out that SLSNe that lack hydrogen are surrounded by dense clouds of carbon and oxygen. When the stars actually explode, these clouds are lit up by the shockwaves of the supernova, producing the increased…

Health and help to those in need are becoming more and more profitable than gadgets and consumer services. In the past few years, medical start-ups were booming. Young innovators and entrepreneurs are not just trying to make money, selling the more comfortable…

Just as geneticists might revel in the release of a new platform capable of generating long-read sequences with single-
