Until recently, the Moon in the skies over the United States prevented local observatories from observing faint near-Earth objects. Meanwhile, an object of increased danger to the planet is currently…

It may seem strange to some, but there are 22 confirmed forms or phases of ice in nature, two of which are amorphous and the rest are crystalline. Crystalline ice…

Scientists from France have surpassed the latest achievement of their Chinese colleagues in the field of plasma confinement in a tokamak-type thermonuclear reactor by 25%. The WEST installation of the…

Traditional superconductors have a good theoretical basis, while new types of superconductivity in non-traditional materials have not been described in sufficient detail, and researchers are literally moving towards discoveries by…

Researchers at the University of Surrey in the UK have found no evidence in quantum physics that time travel is prohibited. The work is theoretical and has not been confirmed…

Texas’ energy mix has been expanded with a unique and world-class energy source: the JetWind modular wind turbine, which generates electricity from jet streams as aircraft take off. Since November…

Scientists at the University of Cambridge in the UK have created a facility to capture carbon dioxide from the air and then produce synthetic fuel using solar energy. Ideally, such…

To combat climate change on Earth, scientists at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) have proposed not waiting for mercy from nature, but detonating 1,620 thermonuclear bombs with a capacity…

Recent discoveries in the solar system, such as the asteroid Oumuamua and the comet Borisov, clearly showed that interstellar objects are not rare guests in the solar system. This inspired…

The underwater neutrino observatory KM3NeT, which is being built in Europe, has reported its first unique result. The facility’s sensors have registered a neutrino of record-high energy — an order…
