Israeli startup Future Meat Technologies has opened what it states is the first industrial-scale cultured meat manufacturing facility- a move designed to obtain lab-grown meat onto consumers' plates finally. "Our objective...
Graphene. Credit: Christoph Hohmann, MCQST Cluster An international research team led by the University of Göttingen has detected unique quantum effects in high-precision researches of natural double-layer graphene and has interpreted them together with the College of Texas at Dallas utilizing their academic work. This research offers new insights into the interaction of the charge carriers...
On the one-year anniversary of achieving a yield of more than 1.3 megajoules at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility, the scientific results of this record experiment have been published in three peer-reviewed papers: one in Physical Review Letters and two in Physical Review E. This stylized image shows a cryogenic target used for these record-setting inertial fusion experiments. Credit:...
Mehau Kulyk / Science Source The solutions to Einstein's formulas that describe a spinning black holes will not explode, even when poked or prodded. In 1963, the mathematician Roy Kerr discovered a solution to Einstein's formulas that precisely described the space-time outside what we currently call a rotating black hole. (The term wouldn't be created for...
Using an inexpensive polymer called melamine-- the main component of Formica-- chemists have created an affordable, accessible, and energy-efficient form to capture CO2 (Carbon dioxide) from smokestacks, a key aim for the USA and other countries as they seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The process for synthesizing the melamine material, posted this week in...
After decades of exploration in nature's most minor domains, physicists have finally found proof that anyons exist. 1st predicted by theorists in the early 1980s, these particle-like objects arise in realms confined to two dimensions and then under certain circumstances-- like at temperatures near absolute zero and in the existence of a solid magnetic...
Credit: Airbus The US Army has successfully flown a minimalist drone powered by solar energy continuously for over 40 days, surpassing a previous world record and indicating what could be the future of military reconnaissance. The challenge: Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) systems, such as satellites and drones, play a major role in protection by...

Cooling paper by Ruby Wallau / Northeastern University The "cooling paper," an eco-friendly alternative to air conditioning, is crafted from recyclable paper and does not require electricity to operate. Air conditioning is typically taken for granted until there is a power outage and it ceases to function. But what if staying cool could be achieved...
