Any advance in laser tech has huge potential across a whole range of fields and we just got a big one: ultra-short laser pulses of up to 100 megawatts, the most powerful of their type ever produced from a human-made system.
One of the great mysteries of the Universe is where all the metal actually comes from.
Resaerchers found that a specific fungus can recognize shapes, and communicate information about their surroundings throughout their network.
Approximately 41,000 years ago, Earth’s magnetic field briefly reversed during what is known as the Laschamp event. Now scientists has created a sound visualization of this event.
Lightning storms on our planet can dislodge particularly high-energy, or "extra-hot" electrons from the inner radiation belt - a region of space enveloped by charged particles that surround Earth like an inner tube.
Knowing how high-potency cannabis alters gene activity may bring us closer to understanding why some users develop psychosis.
A set of new studies has just given us compelling origin stories for more than 90 percent of meteorites today.
