Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.
With the use of lasers and mirrors, physicists can hear 'nothingness'. The Louisiana State University Department of Physics & Astronomy associate professor Thomas Corbitt and his team of researchers now present the first broadband, off-resonance measurement of quantum radiation pressure noise in the audio band, at frequencies relevant to gravitational wave detectors.
Is Earth essentially a zoo? Aliens: full of intrigue, excitement and mystery. The mere thought of an alien provokes an abundance of questions. Do they exist? What do they look like? How old is their civilization? Are they even civilized? Will we ever know the answers? Well, one group of scientists claims that aliens are shielding us from the truth because mankind cannot cope with the reality of their existence.

A ground level expalantion of quantum computing In reference to a recent article titled 'Quantum Computer Time Reversal: Can It Happen?', I would like to try to explain how quantum computing works.
Is interspecies communication possible? Wouldn't it be amazing if interspecies communication could happen? Albeit, animal communication is fascinating and often way more complex than people realize, humans are able to communicate with other species with some success but now, researchers have allowed two very different creatures to "talk" to each other through the use of robots.
Time reversal may be possible. An international team of researchers has constructed a time-reversal program on a quantum computer, in an experiment that has huge implications for our understanding of quantum computing.

The oldest stars in our galaxy are being studied. Astronomers have gazed into our galaxy and have found some of the oldest stars recorded to date. In a study to be published in the April 2019 issue of the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, researchers analyzed a cluster of old, dim stars called HP1, located about 21,500 light-years away from Earth in the gut of our galaxy's central bulge.
Ancient sea creature fossil discovered with eighteen mouth tentacles. As if out of a sci-fi thriller, a sea creature with tentacles protruding from its mouth has been discovered; well, its fossil has.

CASAC is recommending a full overhaul of the EPA's scientific-based clean air standards. Today's cleaner air is mostly thanks to science-based air pollution standards.
From nonbiodegradable waste to construction materials Our community needs building blocks-literally! Bricks are laid out on the streets, on your garden walkway, within the walls of your room, and practically everywhere.
We better buckle up on this ride! Transport entrepreneur, Elon Musk is once again planning to revolutionize the way we travel. The Elon Musk-owned SPACEX is turning its attention to terrestrial travel and its revolutionary rockets will dramatically reduce flight times, meaning a flight from London to New York could take as little as 30 minutes, experts claim.
Chinese researchers create a new metal composite that can be manipulated by magnets. Researchers in China have created a Terminator-like liquid metal that has the ability to stretch horizontally and vertically, as well as change shapes.
Dust plumes have scientists excited. Bennu is the target of the OSIRIS-REx mission which is intended to return samples to Earth in 2023 for further study.
Everything from Nothing Did you know that palatable water can be collected from thin air? No, it's not magic, it's science! Everyday, people all over the world search for new ways to maximize renewable resources, and pulling water from seemingly nothing is one of the groundbreaking methods we have come up with.
The remnants of ancient human migration traits. How does a biological geomagnetic sense work? The Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field, generated by the movement of the planet's liquid core.
A look into making an everyday unnoticed luxury. Glass is one of those everyday luxuries that over the years has become an unnoticed magic of science. Glass is used in every country, it can be found in every building and every car.
There's not a single pulp of wood in the US dollar. Whether we choose to admit it or not, money is the single most important element in life. Without money you couldn't eat, you would have no home, no clothes and sadly, very few friends.
Japan drafts cryptocurrency regulations. Today cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have become a global phenomenon known to most people. While still somehow geeky and not understood by the majority of the population, banks, governments and many companies are aware of its importance.
Nanotechnology provides more time between charges. Low battery indications are probably the most annoying aspect in today's gadget-driven world. The use of nanotechnology could possibly lessen the immediate stress of temporarily being cut off from the cyber universe that has become such an intricate part of our daily routine or even give battery driven cars an increase in mileage.
It's everyone's responsibility. Since the election of President Donald Trump, the trend in US federal policy has been to focus on other areas other than climate change.
