Phys.org / Hubble and Webb find that far-out solar system objects 'remember' the past

For the first time, scientists used the combined power of NASA's Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes to study some of the most far-flung bodies in our solar system, trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Some are the smallest ...

Phys.org / Smart, self-healing packaging uses AI to detect food spoilage in real time

Packaging already tells us where food comes from, when it was made, what's in it and how many calories it contains. But researchers see a future where packaging can "see," in real time, what's happening inside and translate ...
