A new dimension of computing power?

Tom Mueller built the rocket engines that gave Elon Musk outer space. Now, he's racing to create a fleet of cabs for the cosmos.

A lost Silk Road city emerges underwater in Kyrgyzstan, where ruins, artifacts, and graves reveal life before a devastating earthquake.

New research shows how unmagnetized worlds like Mars can still deflect some of the Sun's solar wind. Unlike magnetospheres that form around planet's like Earth, this effect takes place in Mars' ionosphere. It's called the Zwan-Wolf effect, and it's not clear…

Companies to automate early failure detection, maintenance of chipmaking tools

While on a deep-sea expedition in the Galapagos in 2015, scientists found a golf-ball sized, short-armed blue octopus. In a recent study, they confirmed that it’s new to science. The newly described octopus, named Microeledone galapagensis, was first sighted…

A new solar-powered desalination technology developed by University of Rochester researchers converts seawater into drinking water without chemical additives or harmful brine waste while also enabling mineral recovery.

LAKE SUPERIOR, Mich., (WPBN/WGTU) -- A team of researchers and filmmakers is preparing to explore the deepest point in the Great Lakes this weekend, giving view

The afternoon at the second café is where it tends to happen, if it happens at all. The morning block is the warm-up. Lunch breaks the day open. Then sometime between two and four, in a place that isn’t my desk and isn’t where I started, the focus I have…

Ancient Greeks used a primitive type of lifting machine to move heavy stones before they began using cranes 2,500 years ago.

Researchers have finally resolved a key problem in a 100-year-old theory of color, showing that the qualities we perceive in colors are intrinsic to the mathematics of color space itself. The discovery sharpens our understanding of human vision and could…

Researchers are replacing rigid silicon-based AI hardware with stretchable, neuromorphic electronics that mimic how the brain processes information, opening new possibilities for long-term human-machine integration.
