University of Delaware tags sharks to predict hurricanes
University of Delaware scientists are tagging sharks to collect ocean temperature data for better hurricane forecasting. This method fills monitoring gaps in storm-prone areas where traditional buoys and ships are ineff…
What's the difference between sweet potatoes and yams?
Here are the main differences between yams and sweet potatoes and how to tell them apart.
Sunlight creates quantum entanglement once thought to require lasers
Scientists have generated quantum entanglement directly from sunlight, potentially offering a lower-energy alternative to the lasers normally used in quantum technology. Their outdoor experiment produced entangled photo…
How much ice is stored in the world's glaciers? And where exactly is it located? A new study led by Ca' Foscari University of Venice, in collaboration with the…
Oxygen provides the driving force for many vital chemical reactions. Two well-known examples include respiration, the process that allows living things to brea…
Maryland researchers developed a high-resolution imaging technique that twists a microscopic tip to detect nanoscale strain in 2D materials. This innovation al…
The initiation of rain in clouds without ice remains one of the largest unsolved mysteries in atmospheric science.
For the first time, researchers have determined the shape of the actinide nucleus of fermium-255 and measured its structure with high precision and resolution.
Using light to process quantum information is one of the most promising approaches to building future quantum computers. Light particles, known as photons, are…
In Goethe's ballad "Erlkönig," immortalized in Schubert's fevered 1815 setting, a dying boy riding through the night sees a spectral king beckoning from the da…
Measuring faint magnetic fields is useful in a number of areas, including mapping brain activity, monitoring hearts and probing fundamental physics. Typically,…
This new cache of material includes footage of a U.S. military plane’s infrared display recorded during an exercise over the Gulf of Oman in 2021
Turtle embryos have antenna-like structures that detect nest temperature, activating genes that determine sex without sex chromosomes. This discovery could hel…
A theoretical study predicts bilayer boron could superconduct at 200 K under high pressure, nearly matching the current record. This finding matters because it…
