Astronomers Discover Mysterious New World at Edge of the Solar System

A new trans-Neptunian object, 2017 OF201, has been found with a vast orbit and potential dwarf planet size. The finding hints at more hidden bodies beyond Neptune. A research team led by Sihao Cheng at the Institute for Advanced Study’s School of Natural Sciences has identified a remarkable trans

MIT Scientists May Have Finally Solved the Moon’s Magnetic Mystery

A massive impact may have temporarily strengthened the Moon’s weak magnetic field, producing a short-lived surge that became preserved in certain lunar rocks. For decades, scientists have wrestled with a simple question: what happened to the Moon’s magnetism? Instruments on orbiting spacecraft on

Tiny 3D-Printed Device Supercharges Tissue Engineering With Unprecedented Precision

The device is compact enough to rest on a fingertip and is compatible with current tissue-engineering technology. A newly developed 3D-printed device offers scientists the ability to build human tissue models with far greater precision and complexity. The tool, created by an interdisciplinary tea

Canada Is at Risk: Scientists Uncover Hidden Megathrust That Could Trigger Massive Earthquakes

Scientists used advanced hydrophone technology to image the Queen Charlotte fault, confirming its potential for destructive megathrust earthquakes. New research on the Queen Charlotte fault system has produced the first images of its subsurface structure off the coast of Haida Gwaii, confirming t

Scientists Build Quantum Computer That Snaps Together Like LEGOs

A modular quantum processor design shows ~99% fidelity. It paves the way for scalable quantum computing. What do children’s building blocks and quantum computing have in common? The answer is modularity. Constructing a quantum computer as a single, unified device proves extremely difficult. Th
