Geophysicists at Washington State University have uncovered a possible explanation for how nutrients may travel into the ...

Scientists have shown that the building blocks of proteins can form naturally in deep space. This means the raw ingredients ...

A new study suggests that crystal defects in diamond may hold the key to scalable quantum interconnects. Connecting large ...

In simulations involving a 50-node IoT network, Dual Perigee reduced block-related delays by 48.54% compared to the standard ...

Tiny plastic particles may be quietly reshaping microbial life in drinking water systems. Nanoplastics already raise fears because people can ingest them directly. Now scientists say these tiny partic ...

The inclusions are so faint in the unpolished amber that Goethe, despite his interest in observing nature, likely never realized he had insects preserved inside what amount to biological time capsules ...

A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...

A new metasurface lets scientists flip between ultra-stable light vortices, paving the way for tougher, smarter wireless communication.
