Researchers have broken a performance bottleneck by designing a sponge-like thermoelectric material that traps heat while letting electricity flow, paving the way for self-powered electronics.

A long-standing mystery in cosmology is the Hubble tension. This tension is due to the different expansion rate measurements calculated using two methods. A new method of calculation has now been used to calculate the most probable age of the universe.

In May 2024, a strong solar storm swept across the solar system. This had some impacts on Earth but had a more dramatic effect on Mars. This was observed by scientists, showing how solar storms interact with different planetary atmospheres.

Anthropic has become the first American company to be designated as a supply chain risk to U.S. national security following its rift with the U.S. Department of Defense (also known as the Department of War).

The Sun follows a repeating cycle called the solar cycle. Researchers have studied 4 solar minima and discovered subtle changes in the Sun’s internal structure at each minimum. This discovery might help in the prediction of future solar cycles.

An image of Arabia Terra has been captured by an orbiter. This image reveals so many craters in the region, giving scientists a better understanding of Mars’ geological and climate history.

A Japanese spacecraft is preparing to leave the International Space Station (ISS). It delivered supplies to the station, and it will operate for three months after release before reentry.

Scientists discovered that parts of Antarctica’s ice sheet have retreated by more than 40 kilometers over the past three decades. Using satellite radar data, researchers found that warmer ocean waters are weakening the ice from below. This shift could influence future sea-level rise.

Astronomers have discovered a new planet orbiting a young star. This discovery was made using two powerful instruments and gives insight into the evolutionary behavior of a young planet.

Deal | Humble Bundle has added a new game bundle to the current collection — Best of Boomer Shooters 5: Penta Boom. This bundle is packed with seven boomer shooters and will expire on March 26.

By replacing traditional oxygen and nitrogen solvents with a novel fluorine-based design, researchers have developed an electrolyte that drastically improves battery performance in freezing conditions.

The ESA has taken a major step toward a faster and more secure internet from space. In a recent test, it established a gigabit-per-second laser connection between a fast-moving aircraft and a satellite 36,000 km above ground

Researchers have developed a non-toxic, water-based battery utilizing minerals akin to tofu brine, theoretically capable of lasting centuries while meeting strict environmental disposal standards.

A SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft has successfully returned after six months docked at the International Space Station (ISS). It has brought back a large quantity of scientific materials and samples for analysis.

Candidate Dark Galaxy-2 (CDG-2), a very faint galaxy, has been discovered. This is notable due to the minimal stellar footprint, which makes discovery difficult. This discovery will help in the study of dark galaxies and matter.

Deal | World Crafter TD, a game that blends survival crafting with tower defense, is currently free to keep on Steam for a limited time. This deal will expire on March 5.

On April 8, 2024, a total eclipse crossed the United States. Volunteers from NASA’s Eclipse Megamovie citizen science project from all over the country hurried to capture the eclipse using the newest and best equipment. These images were compiled and are helping scientists understand how coronas evolve.

YouTuber Chris Doel has shown off his latest project — an electric car powered by his homemade battery pack. This battery pack was built using 500 batteries salvaged from discarded vapes.

Previously, the Hubble Space Telescope was one of the major space telescopes used for astronomical observations. However, it had limitations in deep space missions, leading to the invention of the CMOS active pixel sensors. This new technology is now used not only in space missions but also in our everyday gadgets.

Mars is now a shadow of its former self, having lost its atmosphere. Most of its atmosphere has been stripped away by the solar wind, leaving it dry and cold. NASA's ESCAPADE is currently on its way to measure the interaction of the solar wind with Mars and how it strips its atmosphere.

Deal | Just Move: Clean City Messy Battle is an auto-shooter with 100 different missions to complete. It is currently free to keep on Steam for a limited time.

Every year, top climate scientists coordinate and synthesize research to review the strongest scientific evidence on how the Earth is changing. The latest report shows that the planet is warming faster and that stronger, coordinated efforts are needed to mitigate the damage.
