Where physics meets engineering. From quantum computers to next-generation solar cells — discover the technologies that physics makes possible.
A major obstacle may be standing in the way of the next generation of ultra-tiny computer chips. Researchers discovered that many promising 2D materials lose their advantages because an invisible atom
For three weeks in April 2026, CERN ran the LHC quieter than usual. No maximised collision rates, no dense detector... Der Beitrag ATLAS records vital low-intensity data during special LHC run erschie
Perovskites, a class of material with a characteristic crystal structure that can convert light into electricity, have proved to be promising for the development of more affordable, flexible, and effi
A flurry of new schemes to launch Europe-based social networks faces a steep, rocky road to seduce users away from American and Asian giants in the sector.
Tens of thousands of students studying for final exams around the world Friday regained access to a key online learning system after a cyberattack had earlier knocked it offline, throwing schools and
One seminar changed everything. A visiting professor, a single course, and a senior undergraduate who had never thought much about... Der Beitrag Precision Before Discovery: A Conversation with Dr. Yo
This week, US-based education technology provider Instructure announced a significant cybersecurity incident affecting its Canvas system. This is used by schools and universities around the world, inc
Conventional soft actuators are often limited by weak force, small displacement, and slow response. To overcome these limitations, researchers have developed a new mechanical system that can amplify m
Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The a
When AI systems evaluate new technology, they don’t assess the physics. They assess the narrative surrounding it. If most sources... Der Beitrag Smart Systems, Wrong Questions: What AI Still Doesn’t K
Researchers at University of Tsukuba reexamined the causes of the Fukuchiyama Line derailment that occurred in April 2005, analyzing how train drivers acquire and use operational knowledge/skills, and
Researchers from The University of Osaka, Kyushu University, and the University of Victoria have developed a new method called Majority Voting SZZ (MV-SZZ) that accurately identifies defect-inducing s
Black holes are so dense that not even light can escape from within their event horizon, yet they emit radiation through quantum effects.
