Researchers conducted the first-ever near-infrared analysis of an extragalactic recurrent nova and found it is one of the hottest nova explosions ever discovered.
The Harvard RoboBee has long shown it can fly, dive, and hover like a real insect. But what good is the miracle of flight without a safe way to land?
As the world races to move away from fossil fuels, new research has uncovered an extraordinary and nearly untapped energy source hiding in plain sight— ocean currents. According to a landmark study by researchers at Florida Atlantic University (FAU), ocean currents can generate 2.5 times more power than wind farms. Even more stunning is their near-constant energy flow, making them one of the most reliable clean energy sources on Earth.
This isn’t a distant dream or a futuristic concept—it’s science-backed, data-verified, and happening now.
Ocean currents are massive, steady flows of water driven by a mix of wind, the Earth’s rotation, temperature gradients, and salinity differences. Unlike wind or solar energy, which vary with weather and daylight, ocean currents flow predictably and consistently year-round.
Every now and then, a Silicon Valley startup launches with such an “absurdly” described mission that it’s difficult to discern if the startup is for real
Researchers have developed a novel algorithm that maps each person’s brain activity into a unique “neural fingerprint,” revealing stable, long-term neural traits.
Indentation in bilayer epitaxial graphene induces its reversible transformation into a diamond-like structure with stiffness and hardness comparable to diamond.
India’s space program is gaining momentum with astronaut Shubhanshu Shukla’s upcoming trip to the ISS as part of the Axiom-4 mission, marking the second Indian in space. Following this, the joint Indo-US NISAR satellite, a significant Earth observation project, is scheduled for launch in June. These missions highlight India’s growing capabilities and international collaborations in space exploration.
The Thermavault refrigeration unit can keep vaccines cool with a reusable salt solution. The teens who built it plan to test it at 120 hospitals.
