5+ day, 2+ hour ago   (360+ words) As reported in JACS, a new material marries magnetism and electrical polarisation in a union that could vastly increase the speed and sustainability of computer memory. Magnetoelectrics are highly sought after as they allow magnetic information to be switched via…...

5+ day, 5+ hour ago   (590+ words) The agency is targeting major gaps in power generation, oxygen production, manufacturing and advanced materials as it works towards a future Moon Base. The call forms part of NASA’s Next Space Technologies for Exploration Partnerships-3, or NextSTEP-3, and focuses on…...

5+ day, 8+ hour ago   (608+ words) The WMO’s latest Air Quality and Climate Bulletin, released for the International Day of Clean Air for blue skies on 7 September, highlights growing exposure to wildfire smoke, alongside the worsening risk of ground-level ozone during extreme heat. The result is…...

5+ day, 9+ hour ago   (269+ words) The supercomputer was named after Carl Axel Arrhenius, a Swedish geologist and chemist who, in 1787, discovered the mineral gadolinite, which was later found to contain several unknown elements called rare earth elements. Named after historic Swedish geologist and chemist Carl…...

6+ day, 4+ hour ago   (154+ words) The 3ML NbTiN Josephson junction circuit debuted at ASC is notable for achieving circuit design densities of 3.8 million junctions per cm2. The routing was also demonstrated with superconducting wires scaled down to 30nm linewidth, further strengthening Imec’s NbTiN-based superconducting technology research platform for…...

1+ week, 4+ hour ago   (1240+ words) For over 14 000 years, dogs have hunted with us, guarded livestock, herded sheep and, more recently, curled up beside us on the sofa. Along the way, they have become remarkably good at reading our gestures and picking up on our cues....

1+ week, 9+ hour ago   (997+ words) Electric motors are the largely unseen workhorses of modern life. They power everything from washing machines to factory equipment. Individually, many are already highly efficient. But because there are billions of them, even small improvements could translate into significant energy…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (729+ words) The study examined Newfoundland and Labrador, where strong winds, crashing Atlantic waves and an extensive coastline create ideal conditions for marine aerosols to form and travel inland. The research challenges earlier studies suggesting that sea spray could be an important…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (488+ words) The agreement was formally signed at ESA Space for Inspiration 2026 in Copenhagen by Daniel Neuenschwander, ESA’s Director of Human and Robotic Exploration, and Julien-Alexandre Lamamy, CEO of ispace-Europe. The contract, awarded in July 2026, covers the remaining development and delivery of…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago   (1207+ words) In collisions between lead nuclei, the ZDCs measure neutrons that did not participate directly in the collision. These ‘spectator’ neutrons provide information about how the two nuclei overlapped — information that ATLAS and CMS cannot obtain from their central detectors alone....
