Water falls on Earth every day as rain, and now scientists seem to have found a way of using it to create renewable electricity

Physicists think the insides of black holes may be complex mazes of tangled strings in higher dimensions

For a long time, the Kakeya conjecture, which involves rotating an infinitely narrow needle, kept mathematicians guessing—until now

Technology developed by MIT engineers makes pesticides stick to plant leaves. With the new system, farmers could significantly cut their use of pesticides and fertilizers, saving money and reducing runoff.

The popping sound of a swing-top bottle brings a small joy to many beer drinkers - but also to a group of physicists in Germany who have proven how various...

The National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility at DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory—is among the world's most advanced synchrotron light sources, enabling and supporting science across various disciplines. Advances in automation, robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) are transforming how research is done at NSLS-II,…

Over the last two years, developers have generated roughly 5 million carbon credits from cleaning up orphaned oil and gas wells.

Say goodbye to indoor humidity and do away with humid environments with these top dehumidifiers.

Don't worry, they don't sound squeaky or anything.

So I'm two months into trying to teach a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem to a computer. We already have one interesting story, which I felt was worth sharing.

If we can confirm its existence, that is.

/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For decades, the semiconductor industry has faced two critical challenges: the hidden limitations of dark silicon and the bottlenecks of...
