A long-standing mystery in bacterial bioenergetics is beginning to unravel as researchers capture fleeting structural states of a sodium-pumping enzyme in action.

This Maximo robot has completed the successful installation of 100 MW of solar at the sprawling AES Bellefield complex in California.

Scientists have uncovered a surprisingly large reserve of “silent synapses” in the adult brain—unused neural connections that can be rapidly activated to store new memories.

US-led development of a phonon laser with high accuracy is a step toward building quantum sensors and satellite-free navigation systems.

A newly tested hybrid propulsion system could significantly enhance the stealth and endurance of China’s small battlefield drones.

A new spectrograph named Henrietta could dramatically improve how scientists analyze the atmospheres of distant exoplanets.

The AEP100 turboprop, independently developed by a research and development institute of Aero Engine Corporation of China (AECC), has successfully completed full ground-tests. It marks China's first liquid hydrogen engine to meet megawatt-level full-performance…

The way we manage forests can undermine their ability to retain water, leading to excess runoff.

Scientists have created a new kind of carbon material that could make carbon capture much cheaper and more efficient. By carefully controlling how nitrogen atoms are arranged, they found certain structures capture CO2 better and release it using far less…

MIT CSAIL researchers introduce a portable “ChromoLCD” device that combines LCD and LED lighting to "print" high-quality custom designs onto things like shirts and whiteboards.

The administration is proposing to partially own an Australia-based mining company producing graphite — a key ingredient in EV batteries.

An accounting of all the water that should have been and gone on Mars’s surface has come up with a discrepancy that shows just how little we understand the Red Planet’s hydrological history

NASA’s Skyfall mission pairs Mars helicopters with a nuclear-powered spacecraft, marking a shift in deep space travel.

Honeybees fly consistent, landmark-guided routes with remarkable precision, revealing better navigation than their waggle dance suggests.

Snow flies have an unexpected way of surviving freezing temperatures. They produce antifreeze proteins to block ice formation and can even generate their own heat. Scientists also found that their genes are unusually unique, and they feel less cold-related…

A new battery design that could significantly extend the range of electric vehicles and the lifespan of portable electronics has been developed by researchers at the University of Surrey's Advanced Technology ...

A sweeping genetic survey of Antarctic waters reveals a hidden microbial world with untold influence on Earth’s climate.

New method detects magnetic signals in metal that make it possible to predict fractures before they occur and prevent critical failures.

A Chinese team developed an all-weather battery electrolyte that could extend EV range and work in extreme cold.
