Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a tiny new moon orbiting Uranus, a rare discovery that expands Uranus’ total known moons to 29, and the first inner one found in nearly 40 years….

A new man-made crystal that can “breathe” oxygen may be a game changer for energy efficiency and the clean energy transition. The material is made from an oxide of strontium, iron, and cobalt, and when heated in a simple gas…

“The ultimate test of climate projections is to compare them with what has played out…” says earth sciences professor Torbjörn Törnqvist, lead author on a new study published in the open-access journal Earth’s…

 Artificial intelligence is accelerating material discovery and design by automating analysis, guiding experiments, and enabling predictive modeling across spectroscopy, microscopy, and synthesis.

Researchers have uncovered the magnetic properties and underlying mechanisms of a novel magnet using advanced optical techniques. Their study focused on an organic crystal believed to be a promising candidate for an “altermagnet”- a recently…

Some of the first human settlers in the Americas carried more than primitive skills and tools, they also brought a small but powerful genetic variant called MUC19.
That gene fragment, inherited from an extinct hominin called Denisovans, appears…
