Small home appliances equipped with electric heating coils and brushed DC motors, like hair dryers, air fryers and toasters—can emit harmful tiny ultrafine particles that deteriorate indoor air ...

How fast and in which direction is our solar system moving through the universe? This seemingly simple question is one of the key tests of our cosmological understanding. A research team led by ...

Technological advances, such as digital screens, have their obvious benefits, but these advances often outpace the time it takes for human physiology to adapt to them. As more work, learning, and ...

Abstract: Imaging spectrometers like EMIT and AVIRIS-3 have similar instrument parameters and methane and CO2 mapping capability that enables direct attribution of observed plumes to the oil and gas, ...

A new "optoexcitonic switch" already achieves state-of-the-art performance over current electronics and could serve as the basis for classical and quantum computing devices capable of operating at ...

Interstellar object 3I/ATLAS — which is zooming through our inner solar system — appears to be emitting its own light, according to Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. The observation by Loeb, if ...

Scientists have concluded that peacocks’ tail feathers are capable of emitting narrow beams of light. A team highlighted that the colored tail feathers include tiny reflective structures that can ...

Peacock feathers are greatly admired for their bright iridescent colors, but it turns out they can also emit laser light when dyed multiple times, according to a paper published in the journal ...

Artificial intelligence has become an invisible assistant, quietly shaping how we search, scroll, shop, and work. It drafts our emails, curates our feeds, and increasingly guides decisions in ...

For the past 30 years, scientists have investigated whether the human brain might require quantum processes to achieve cognition. A study from Shanghai University uses mathematical models to suggest ...

Instruments in space are helping scientists map wastewater plumes flowing into the Pacific Ocean from the heavily polluted Tijuana River, seen here with the San Diego skyline to the north. Credit: ...
