Venus is unique among the inner planets. Earth has the Moon, Mars has two small satellites, and even Mercury may once have had companions that the Sun’s gravity stripped away. But Venus today is ...

Although controlled experiments offer promise for improving weather forecasts, progress in real-world applications has been ...

For over ten years, scientists have put forward two different explanations for one of the ocean’s more unusual trends: the increase in squid numbers between 1970 and 2010. A recent modeling study now ...

The bright points are radio-emitting galaxies and other compact sources, whose emission is much stronger than the faint ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered compelling evidence of massive black holes in the ...

Participants were randomly assigned to either standard treatment or immediate monitoring for 14 days using a small, waterproof, leadless device that continuously recorded their heart rhythms. In the ...

When a star drifts too close to a black hole, intense tidal forces can rip it apart in a tidal disruption event (TDE). The ...

For decades, physicists have been interested in finding out what the Universe was like in its first millionth of a second; in those very early moments after the Big Bang, matter existed in a strange, ...

3D occupancy maps divide space into regions that are occupied, free, or unexplored, helping robots understand their surroundings. But building high‑fidelity maps usually demands a lot of power, which ...

This AI image shows a chain of strontium atoms (orange), each held in an optical tweezer (blue cones). The chain sits within a modulated laser field. The evenly spaced lines above represent the ladder ...

Complicated behaviors don’t just appear suddenly; instead, they form by combining simpler mental components. In artificial intelligence, neural networks can already mix and match specialized modules ...

An NJIT-led research team has developed an AI system that can spot faint warning signals of solar active regions, potential precursors to solar storms, nearly nine hours before they become visible.
