Scientists Trace Rare Cosmic Outburst to a Massive Planetary Collision Around Gaia20ehk
Astronomers have reported evidence of two planets colliding around a distant Sun-like star, Gaia20ehk, located about 11,000 light-years away. The star's light output remained steady until 2016, when it exhibited three minor dimming events; by 2021, the light curve reportedly "went completely bonkers." Follow-up infrared observations revealed a burs...

This Strange New Crystal Could Power the Next Leap in Quantum Computing
The platinum-bismuth-two crystal exhibits superconductivity only on its surfaces, with a unique six-fold electron pairing pattern. Its edges host Majorana particles, offering potential for topological quantum computing. PtBi₂ provides a rare and clear example of a topological superconductor, opening new avenues in both fundamental physics and fut...

Scientists Visualize New Gold Quantum Needles at Nanoscale
Scientists at the University of Tokyo have visualized gold nanoclusters in their earliest growth stage and discovered new elongated structures called gold quantum needles. These exhibit remarkable quantum properties, opening possibilities for sharper biomedical imaging and more efficient light-energy conversion in future applications.

Smithsonian Air and Space Museum Reopens with SpaceX Rocket, Mars Habitat and More
The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum has reopened five state-of-the-art galleries, blending historic aviation milestones with futuristic space technology. Highlights include SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket parts, a 3D-printed Mars habitat, and the revived “Friendship 7” capsule. Part of a $900 million overhaul, the exhibits mark a bold step...

Metamaterial Breaks Thermal Symmetry, Enables One-Way Heat Emission
Scientists have created a groundbreaking metamaterial that breaks Kirchhoff’s law by emitting 43% more mid-infrared radiation in one direction than it absorbs. Built from layered InGaAs and tested at 512°F with a 5T magnetic field, the structure exhibits record thermal nonreciprocity. This breakthrough enables controlled one-way heat flow, a ste...

Sharks Freeze When You Turn Them Upside Down And There's No Good Reason Why
Imagine watching your favourite nature documentary. The predator lunges rapidly from its hiding place, jaws wide open, and the prey suddenly goes limp. It looks dead.
