A recent study by Yale researcher Alison Sweeney suggests that giant clams in the Western Pacific could be the most efficient solar energy system in...
Astronomers have found that the rotational profile of a nearby star, V889 Herculis, differs considerably from that of the Sun. The observation provides insights into the fundamental stellar astrophysics and helps us understand the activity of the Sun, its spot structures and eruptions.
NASA and Boeing engineers completed a hot fire test of the Starliner spacecraft’s reaction control system jets, with astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams on...
A new strategy for all-solid-state lithium batteries enhances energy density and extends lifespan by using a special material that removes the need for additional additives....
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe found that S-shaped magnetic field bends are not responsible for the sun’s corona’s extreme heat. While these switchbacks appear in the...
Researchers synthesized garnet-rich lunar rock assemblages to determine if sound velocities in these compositions match seismic profiles of the Moon’s deep interior. Using high-pressure experiments,...
Researchers have developed a new analytical model that enhances the understanding and efficiency of thin-film photovoltaic (PV) devices, challenging the longstanding Shockley diode equation. Their...
NASA and SpaceX are preparing to launch the Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station on August 18, featuring a diverse crew including NASA astronauts...
Physicists have been exploring the theoretical possibility of spaceships driven by compressing the four-dimensional spacetime for decades. Although this so-called 'warp drive' originates from the realm of science fiction, it is based on concrete descriptions in general relativity. A new study takes things a step further -- simulating the gravitational waves such a drive might emit if it broke down.
By diving into the sun's corona, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has ruled out S-shaped bends in the sun's magnetic field as a cause of the corona's searing temperatures.
