Research on the perception of color differences is helping resolve a century-old understanding of color developed by Erwin ...

A study shows that polarons can host stable atomic distortion patterns, reshaping how charge and energy move in materials ...

As gas falls toward a black hole, it heats up and shines. If the glow becomes intense enough, it can push incoming gas away. Astronomers call this balancing point the Eddington limit, and for decades ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) keep finding the same impossible thing: ancient supermassive black holes; monsters millions of times the sun’s mass, existing when the cosmos ...

Agents use facial recognition, social media monitoring and other tech tools not only to identify undocumented immigrants but ...

Semiconductor chips that process light rather than electricity could boost processing speeds and reduce energy use.

From TVs and smartwatches to rapidly emerging VR and AR devices, micro-LEDs are a next-generation display technology in which each LED—smaller than the thickness of a human hair—emits light on its own ...

It uses a system called simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES). This translates chemical 3D structures into ...
