How do you stop robotic traffic jams? Researchers found that adding "noise" or randomness to robot paths optimizes swarm efficiency, proving that swarms don't need central AI to avoid gridlock.

Researchers accidentally formed gold hydride under extreme pressure, revealing that gold is actually a "reactive metal." ...

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

An international team of scientists, including researchers from Loughborough University, has developed a method to dramatically speed up the discovery and design of advanced materials. The study, ...

With innovation reshaping the precious metals space, lab-grown gold is gaining attention amid soaring prices. But unlike diamonds, gold cannot simply be “grown” using standard techniques.

Scientists have long pursued nuclear fusion as a near-limitless energy source. Fusion reactions, the same process powering ...

Repeating the same experiment and expecting different results is the proverbial sign of insanity, and yet we continue to believe that increasing the density of our city will result in lower housing ...

This study develops an ML-assisted approach for accelerating the discovery of HER electrocatalysts in multi-principal element ...

In this quick July 4th themed science video, I show you how to create colorful fireworks in a jar using just water, vegetable oil, and food coloring. I walk through each step, explain how density ...

The reality is that not all copper cookware is as good as it claims to be. The mere presence of copper in a pan doesn’t ...

Researchers investigated how the η′ meson behaves inside atomic nuclei and found evidence that it may form bound states known as η′-mesic nuclei. Using high-energy particle experiments and ...

Physicists working at Germany’s GSI Helmholtz Centre have found the first experimental hints that an unusually heavy subatomic particle, the eta-prime meson, can bind to an atomic nucleus. If ...
