Phys.org / Image: Hubble captures an active galactic center
The light that the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope collected to create this image reached the telescope after a journey of 250 million years. Its source was the spiral galaxy UGC 11397, which resides in the constellation ...
Tech Xplore / New passivation strategy improves scalability and efficiency of perovskite solar cells
Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electrical energy, are becoming increasingly widespread, with many households and industries worldwide now relying on them as a source of electricity. While crystalline ...
Tech Xplore / Analytical model evaluates performance of grant-free communication in densely populated IoT environment
Imagine a world where every smart device, from traffic sensors to wearable health monitors, can seamlessly communicate. This vision is at the heart of Massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC), a cornerstone of 5G and future ...
Phys.org / How robotic hives and AI are lowering the risk of bee colony collapse
Lifting up the hood of a Beewise hive feels more like you're getting ready to examine the engine of a car than visit with a few thousand pollinators.
Phys.org / Meteorite hunters chase treasures after fireball streaks across Georgia
It only took Ed Albin a few steps on Sunday to spot it as he wandered onto an empty construction site in Henry County, about 45 minutes southeast of Atlanta.
Phys.org / Could the first images from the Vera Rubin telescope change how we view space for good?
We are entering a new era of cosmic exploration. The new Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile will transform astronomy with its extraordinary ability to map the universe in breathtaking detail. It is set to reveal secrets previously ...
Phys.org / To grandmother's house you go? Not far, for most US grandkids
New, more precise estimates show most American grandchildren live close to a grandparent, with implications for families' well-being and for how much time and money generations share.
Phys.org / Firms raise bar after missing target: Study shows strategic use of overestimated earnings targets
When companies miss their earnings targets, one might expect them to lower expectations and rebuild investor trust slowly. However, many do the opposite. They announced even higher goals for the next period.
Phys.org / How rare earth elements move and accumulate in the desert and other cold regions
They're in the headlines every week—critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite and the rare earth elements essential for high-technology and national security applications.
Tech Xplore / Multimodal LLMs and the human brain create object representations in similar ways, study finds
A better understanding of how the human brain represents objects that exist in nature, such as rocks, plants, animals, and so on, could have interesting implications for research in various fields, including psychology, neuroscience ...
Phys.org / A new approach to probing Landauer's principle in the quantum many-body regime
Landauer's principle is a thermodynamics concept also relevant in information theory, which states that erasing one bit of information from an information system results in the dissipation of at least a specific amount (i.e., ...
Tech Xplore / First operational drone traffic management system aims to prevent midair collisions
The drone industry has landed after a long flight to the implementation of drone traffic management.
