How do you stop robotic traffic jams? Researchers found that adding "noise" or randomness to robot paths optimizes swarm efficiency, proving that swarms don't need central AI to avoid gridlock.

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

With innovation reshaping the precious metals space, lab-grown gold is gaining attention amid soaring prices. But unlike diamonds, gold cannot simply be “grown” using standard techniques.

A laser hit the tiny black cube, and it lurched forward almost at once. That split-second jump, caught during a zero-gravity ...

When laser flashes hit matter, electrons are knocked off their orbits around the atomic nuclei. This can generate extremely ...

In crowded environments, more robots don’t always mean faster results—in fact, too many can bring everything to a standstill.

This study develops an ML-assisted approach for accelerating the discovery of HER electrocatalysts in multi-principal element ...

Repeating the same experiment and expecting different results is the proverbial sign of insanity, and yet we continue to believe that increasing the density of our city will result in lower housing ...

Scientists have long pursued nuclear fusion as a near-limitless energy source. Fusion reactions, the same process powering ...

Researchers accidentally formed gold hydride under extreme pressure, revealing that gold is actually a "reactive metal." ...

Recent progress in advanced energy manufacturing has opened a new path for lithium battery design. A joint research team led ...

Queen naked mole-rats (Heterocephalus glaber) reign over their underground kingdoms as the bearer of all children, while ...
