For years, researchers have grappled with one of autism’s enduring mysteries: why males receive diagnoses at more than four times the rate of females. While many theories have suggested that ...

State-space models are AI designed to better understand long-term patterns in data, such as climate trends or biological signals. Unlike traditional models, they track how information evolves rather ...

The SMSPDs can precisely detect single particles at a time. The detectors were designed and fabricated at JPL and commissioned at the INQNET-Caltech labs. Credit: Cristián Peña, Fermilab In the ...

Microplastics, super-tiny plastic fragments, are found in many of the products we use daily and end up in what we eat. The implications of ingesting microplastics are still being studied, but growing ...

Carbonaceous meteorites hold a special place in science—they contain water and organic molecules, vital ingredients linked to the origin of life on Earth. Despite their importance, these meteorites ...

Quasicrystals (QCs) have a unique atomic arrangement that lacks periodicity, giving them unusual symmetries not found in regular crystals. Scientists have been exploring their quasiperiodic magnetic ...

A groundbreaking discovery at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has unveiled a new type of liquid that behaves in surprising ways, challenging long-held principles of thermodynamics. Researchers ...

Type 1a supernovae are powerful star explosions that help scientists measure distances in space. They happen when a white dwarf, the dense leftover core of a star, takes on too much material, becomes ...

Promising directions in the design, fabrication, characterization, and application of 3D architected materials (from left to right, top to bottom): 3D woven metamaterials, aperiodic self-assembled ...

Astronomers have uncovered compelling evidence of the closest supermassive black hole outside of our own Milky Way galaxy. Nestled within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), one of our nearest galactic ...

Imagine a type of matter where particles are arranged in a neat crystal pattern but can flow without friction. This peculiar state is called a supersolid, requiring particles to share a common phase ...

Honeybees are crucial in pollinating over 80 crops and contribute about $29 billion annually to U.S. agriculture. However, bee populations are declining rapidly due to habitat loss, pesticides, ...
