Weekly recaps

Despite the worldwide pandemic, scientific research has continued. It was a good week for space science particularly, as a pair of researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center found one more secret about Uranus when ...

It was a good week for space science as a team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory report that the Mars rover Curiosity took a selfie before setting off on a record climb. The rover then crested Greenheugh Pediment, a broad ...

It was another good week for physics as a team of engineers at the University of New South Wales cracked a 58-year-old puzzle on their way to a quantum breakthrough—by controlling the nucleus of a single atom using only ...

It was a good week for space news as a team with members from several institutions in the U.S. and one in the U.K. found evidence of a cosmic impact that destroyed one of the world's earliest human settlements—meltglass ...

It was another good week for physics as a team at Northeastern University might have accidentally discovered a new state of matter in which electrons distribute themselves evenly into a stationary, crystalline pattern. A ...

It was another good week for physics as a team of researchers at the University of Chicago used math to propose a theory that predicts a state of matter could exist that conducts both electricity and energy perfectly. Also, ...

It was a good week for space research, as a team working at the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope captured images revealing the surface of a dim Betelgeuse—historically one of the brightest stars in the ...

It was a good week for physics, as a team with members from China, Korea, Russia and the U.K. created a new type of optical transistor that unlocked hidden frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum—the graphene-based ...

It was a good week for space research as a team at the California Institute of Technology found evidence to support a theory that suggests Mars' thin carbon dioxide atmosphere is due to a long-term stable polar deposit of ...

It was a good week for physics as a team from the University of Waterloo found that wave echoes from a black hole may confirm Stephen Hawking's hypothesis of quantum black holes. They believe they detected signs of the quantum ...

It was another good week for physics as a combined team from Rice University and Vienna University of Technology found billions of quantum entangled electrons in a "strange metal." The ytterbium, rhodium and silicon compound ...

It was another good week for physics as a team with members from Yonsei University, Lyon University and KASI found new evidence that showed that a key assumption made in the discovery of dark energy is in error—they found ...
