The electric car industry is held back by reliance on conventional energy. Despite spending trillions of dollars on mandates and subsidies, solar and wind alternatives have made little difference in…

The Nobel committee dropped a bombshell in 2025 by handing its annual physics prize—often reserved for theoretical wizards—to a scrappy team of chip engineers. For showing that quantum mechanics isn’…

Scholars have developed a method to encode binary and Morse code messages in ice. A 'message in a bubble' has limited practical utility, information storage in Antarctica and the Arctic is…

An old adage goes that 'if life gives you lemons, make lemonade', which basically means turn something negative into something positive.  Pollution is bad but a new study shows that it may some…

An analysis of 300 million United Kingdom Ministry of Transport test records, which tries to estimate the ‘health’ of every vehicle on UK roads between 2005 and 2022 and determine potential vehicle…

A new study sought to analyze the chewing nature of four types of gum bases and along the way determine bubbling capacity also. Gums are generally oils, resins, and elastomers generally held in…

Light is the most famous thing that is two distinct entities at once - a wave and a particle - but glass is nearly as mysterious. And not well understood. We think of glass as being transparent and…

Last week it was claimed that a material that would be superconducting at  normal pressure has been found.  This substance known as LK-99 was alleged to be superconducting at normal…

Superionic materials, needed for solid-state electrolytes that could replace the liquid organic electrolytes in current electric car batteries and make them safe for mass usage, face challenges in…

Quantum magnetism exploration is getting a boost from atoms about 3 billion times colder than interstellar space. Space is cold, of course, but is warmed by the afterglow from the Big Bang. A Kyoto…
