Science X / For centuries these dazzling Roman bowls were misread—until chemical traces exposed an unexpected maker
For centuries, archaeologists debated the origins of Rome's exquisite mosaic-glass bowls. Now, chemical fingerprints in 101 ancient shards point to a surprising center of production: Italy, not Egypt. This discovery challenges ...
Science X / Superconductivity that shouldn't exist: Physicists dissect the mind-boggling properties of a strange quantum material
The material UTe2 exhibits multiple forms of zero electrical resistance—a phenomenon known as superconductivity—and displays several puzzling properties. After UTe2 loses its superconductivity at a certain magnetic field, ...
Science X / Your P@ssw0rds! no longer have to cause anxiety
Most people struggle to create and manage strong, unique passwords across many accounts. Password vaults may be helpful, but a single breach can expose dozens or even hundreds of passwords. To address these concerns, researchers ...
