A meteorite discovered in the Sahara Desert has been dated to at least 4.1 billion years ago, making it potentially the oldest known piece of Mars ever found on Earth. More than just an ancient rock, the discovery provides evidence that…
What’s the scariest object in the universe? It’s Halloween, and nothing is scarier than our terrifying universe Ah, autumn. Leaves are falling, days are shortening, and there’s a chill in the air. But is that just a result of the…
The psychology behind our undying fascination with vampires What vampire stories reveal about changing fears, identities and human nature By Rachel Feltman, Sushmita Pathak, Alex Sugiura & Fonda Mwangi [CLIP: Kiefer Sutherland as David in The Lost Boys. “Now you know…
Finding the shortest route between two locations is something navigation apps like Google Maps do every day. Behind the scenes, sophisticated algorithms analyze networks of roads and intersections to identify efficient paths. But what if a computer needed to calculate…
Scientists have identified a way for a solar-energy material to absorb light strongly while holding on to the resulting electrical charges for longer. The finding could help overcome a trade-off that limits how effectively some materials convert sunlight into useful…
An interstellar comet appears to carry tiny mixtures of ice and dust resembling material on distant worlds in our own solar system. The discovery suggests that some ingredients of planet formation may develop in similar ways around different stars. Scientists…
Tiny cracks can help soft electronic materials conduct electricity, researchers have discovered. When the material is squeezed, liquid metal flows through the openings and connects previously separated droplets into electrical pathways. The finding explains a process researchers had used for…
A meteorite found in the Sahara Desert has given scientists an unusually old sample of Mars, preserving clues to a time when water altered its rocks. The material formed at least 4.1 billion years ago, making it one of the oldest…
Subject of Research: Three-dimensional plate boundary structure and slab edge geometry at the Mendocino Triple Junction using earthquake seismicity and P-wave seismic tomography Article Title: Redefining the 3-D plate boundary structure of the Mendocino Triple Junction (MTJ) with earthquakes and…
Period: October 23–30, 2026 This week, notable research and essays were published regarding large-scale simulations of the early universe and the changes artificial intelligence is bringing to mathematical discovery. Additionally, important research has been reported on the probabilistic laws of quantum mechanics…
