Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers discovered the jet from a black hole, triggering nova explosions along its path.
How carbon dioxide and biomass could become resilient, sustainable food sources
As valuable resources dwindle and environmental risks loom, reducing our dependence on traditional agriculture is becoming necessary.
Beijing Collider helps scientists probe discrepancy around an elusive hadron particle
New insights into the decay of a hadron particle known as a charmonium could potentially reshape our understanding of particle interactions and challenge existing theories.
Cutting out processed foods doesn’t automatically make a diet healthier
Switching to less processed does not guarantee a healthy diet; the types of foods may be more important than their level of processing.
Dark matter could be lurking in Jupiter’s atmosphere
Astronomers propose that an infrared glow observed in Jupiter’s atmosphere may be dark matter particles colliding.
Unprecedented glimpse of catalysts working on the atomic level
New technology allows researchers to study electrochemical processes at the atomic level with new insights into a widely used catalyst.
Combing through the science of split ends
Materials scientists are applying biomechanics to understand how split ends contribute to our bad hair days—and what can be done to fix them.
Flaws in a crystal lattice make stable qubits for quantum computers
This is just the beginning, say scientists working on the new technology.
New plastic recycling method captures carbon
A closed-loop process for making and recycling polycarbonate plastic also captures carbon to reduce waste and cut emissions.
Goldene, graphene’s golden cousin produced for the first time
Scientists have managed to create sheets of gold only a single atom thick using a hundred-year-old Japanese smithing method.
