Stephen Hawking predicted that stars can capture primordial black holes (PBH). The PBH find their way to the stellar core, creating a Hawking star. There are two possible outcomes, both deadly for the star. Either it explodes rapidly, or it's slowly consumed…

Researchers have shown that controlled fire whirls can clean up oil spills faster and more cleanly than traditional burning methods. The spinning flames consumed up to 95% of the oil, cut soot emissions by 40%, and could help prevent spills from reaching…

Light: Science & Applications - Thermally tunable free-standing silicon membrane metasurfaces support high-Q infrared transparency resonances arising from q-BIC and surface lattice mode...

Astronergy has launched its Astro N8 Pro series at SNEC 2026, introducing n-type TOPCon modules with power ratings of up to 825 W and efficiencies of up to 24.5%.

Researchers in China have successfully tested a huge airborne coil array that could detect hidden nuclear submarines beneath the sea.

New photos of the future ballistic missile submarine USS District of Columbia (SSBN-826) surfaced online via Ashley Cowen's (Lead Photographer at Newport News Shipbuilding) LinkedIn page.

Although self-driving cars and sophisticated robots use advanced cameras, computer algorithms and artificial intelligence to perceive their surroundings, these artificial eyes struggle to remain reliable ...

MIT researchers have shown that one fuel can power both chemical and electric spacecraft thrusters, potentially transforming what small satellites can do. The approach combines quick bursts of speed with highly efficient long-range propulsion in a single…

The fossil trove uncovered ancient birds, frogs, and extinctions long before humans arrived.

The nanoscale world appears to have a new ball to kick around. Researchers from Brown University have shown the first experimental evidence for a "buckyball" molecule made from 80 boron atoms. The new ...

Studying physics can be very useful – even when it comes to machine learning. A digital ‘super-brain’ with built-in knowledge of the fundamental laws of nature can speed up the development of optical components for everything from quantum…

The peculiar prints appear like perfect honeycomb. What on Earth is making them?

Israel’s “Iron Beam” cannot replace the “Iron Dome” kinetic missile defense system, but could be a valuable complement—and proof of concept for other armies to develop similar weapons.

Electricite de France SA and Centrica Plc are poised to agree on a draft deal with the UK government to extend the life of the Sizewell B nuclear power station by two decades, according to people familiar with the matter.

The quantum computing entry point today echoes Nvidia before its 2019 surge. From speculative bets like IonQ to safer plays like IBM and Alphabet, here's how to buy the boom.

Crannogs may have been built by the country's early inhabitants some 4,000 years ago.

A Los Angeles-based startup has raised $5 million to fund an in-orbit computing demonstration next year, ahead of plans to deploy more than 100,000 orbital data centers to meet surging demand for AI infrastructure.

Hermeus's Quarterhorse aircraft is still pushing the supersonic flight envelope, but the US Department of Defense is already so keen on the concept that it's awarded the company US$159 million to explore the military applications of the technology.

The fungus Ophiocordyceps unilateralis has been hijacking carpenter ants for at least 48 million years, steering them to a precise height and humidity before locking their jaws to a leaf and sprouting a spore-shedding stalk from their heads.
