It’s a sheer physical challenge to construct sieves with such precision.

Contrary to established theories, the star’s supernova was enveloped in layers of dust, profoundly altering the expected shockwave dynamics.

In a study published in the journal PNAS, researchers from Linköping University have developed an electrically conductive “soil” which can boost the plant growth by 50% in 15 days.

The revolution in artificial intelligence may soon require more electricity than all electric vehicles combined.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is following in the footsteps of rivals OpenAI and Anthropic in opting for an unusual corporate structure.

Face-to-face gatherings produce more ideas – and more inventive ones – than videoconferencing, say researchers.
