While ice itself is slick, slippery, and difficult to navigate across under most circumstances, skaters easily glide across the ice.

An exoplanet located 2,000 light years from Earth is so unusual it’s given astronomers the idea that it could be a totally new type of object. That’s because it’s shaped like a lemon, with a small tip just like the fruit has, and a free-floating carbon atmosphere where rain might turn to diamonds in the […] The post Welcome to the Lemon-Shaped Planet Where Rain Turns to Diamonds appeared first on Good News Network.

A new material called multiscale reduced graphene oxide could mean faster charging and power delivery than traditional batteries allow.

Every year, Santa Claus races around the globe in a matter of hours to bring presents to children all over the world.

The highest-energy particles could be a sign of new, unexpected physics. But the simplest, most mundane explanation is particularly iron-ic.

Researchers say they have created the world's first scalable atomic quantum processor that achieves record-breaking 99.99% fidelity.

Does the universe notice that we're paying attention to a quantum experiment? The answer goes against everything we thought we knew.

A research team at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) is the first ever to observe a beta-delayed neutron emission from fluorine-25, a rare, unstable nuclide. Using the FRIB Decay Station…

Any time you use a device to communicate information—an email, a text message, any data transfer—the information in that transmission crosses the open internet, where it could be intercepted. Such…

After a decade of painstaking measurements, scientists have delivered a major plot twist in particle physics: a long-hypothesized “mystery particle” likely doesn’t exist. Using the MicroBooNE…

Like their conventional counterparts, quantum computers can also break down. They can sometimes lose the atoms they manipulate to function, which can stop calculations dead in their tracks. But…

A team of researchers now shown that a unique solution in the form of an ultra-thin, flexible, see-through film that can block almost all unwanted electromagnetic radiation.

Scientists have made leaps and bounds in bending atoms to their will, making them into everything from ultraprecise clocks to bits of quantum data. Translating these quantum technologies from…

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest.
