Almost a year ago, the space science community watched as an asteroid entered Earth’s orbit and circled above our heads for almost two months before departing. Scientists usually track such asteroids because of the risk they pose for life on Earth. But although they can pose a threat to our planet, asteroids are also potentially worth many billions of dollars …

Researchers in Australia have successfully created ‘quantum entangled states’ between two distant atoms in silicon. Engineers from the University of New South Wales were able to create the entangled states using electrons as a bridge. Quantum entangled state is a physics phenomenon where two separate particles become so deeply linked that they no longer behave independently. The step achieved by …

The Apple CEO said his company’s recent $600 billion investment to build factories across the U.S. will create a “domino effect,” boosting manufacturing in the country. “We can’t be everywhere. I wish we could, but we are putting $600 billion to work in the next four years,” Cook told CNBC’s Jim Cramer during a TV interview on Monday. “And so …

It was April 1989, and the International Gold Council in New York was on the warpath. The culprit: the late AK Dewdney, a mathematician and computer scientist at the University of Western Ontario – and the man who, in one recent column for Scientific American, had thrown into jeopardy the entire basis of global civilization. How? By relating the results …

There are already mechanical devices that correct foot drop, including metal and plastic braces that wrap around the leg and ankle. Wagman isn’t a fan. “All of these mobility devices are all pretty much the same since the 1940s,” Wagman said. “They’re very cumbersome.” In contrast, he says their system is comfortable and practically invisible. Sole1 just won the US …

As microplastics and their smaller, even more insidious counterparts, nanoplastics, have increasingly permeated the environment and our bodies, one of the key challenges facing researchers has been finding inexpensive, rapid, and convenient methods to detect the presence of these tiny particles in the first place. In a groundbreaking study published in Nature Photonics, researchers revealed a new method for detecting …

The Yeung Lab’s arc melter synthesizes manganese diboride. Credit: Brian Busher UAlbany chemists created manganese diboride, a high-energy material with potential for rocket fuel and new technologies. Chemists at the University at Albany have developed a high-energy compound that could transform rocket fuel and make space travel more efficient. When ignited, this compound produces significantly more energy per unit of …

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the …

Scientists have developed the first-ever time crystals that are visible to the human eye, and they could one day make their way onto $100 bills. The time crystals emerge from the kinks that appear when light is shone onto liquid crystals — the same as those found inside LCD screens . Unlike previous time crystals, these “psychedelic tiger stripes” are …

Scientists think they may have developed a new weight loss drug that is more than twice as effective as Ozempic with fewer negative side effects. GLP-1 injectable medications, which include Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, mimic natural glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone that regulates appetite and metabolism.  Depending on the drug, they can target either one, two or three hormones.  They work …
