Professor Shelly Zhang, center, joined by fellow researchers Rahul Dev Kundu, left, and Shi Zhao, right, have developed a synthetic multi-layered material where each layer responds to stress ...

Scientists examined microorganisms in NASA’s cleanrooms and discovered many new bacterial species with genes that help them resist radiation and decontamination. These genetic traits, linked to DNA ...

State-space models are AI designed to better understand long-term patterns in data, such as climate trends or biological signals. Unlike traditional models, they track how information evolves rather ...

E-BAR is a robotic support system that follows users as they move, acting like handlebars for stability. It allows people to walk independently or lean for assistance, lifting them from sitting to ...

Phonons are energy waves that travel through crystal lattices via atomic vibrations. Often compared to ripples in a pond, phonons play a vital role in optoelectronic applications and tunable photonic ...

Polynomials are equations in which a variable is raised to different powers, like 1 + 4x—3x² = 0 (a degree-two polynomial). These equations are essential in math and science, helping explain things ...

This six-panel illustration of a tidal disruption event around a supermassive black hole shows the following: 1) A supermassive black hole is adrift inside a galaxy, its presence only detectable by ...
