What is an exoplanet? An astrophysicist explains why they are vital for finding alien life

Scientists might have just found Earth’s icy, distant cousin a few hundred million light-years away. HD 137010 b is one of thousands of exoplanets, or planets that orbit other stars, and is potentially the first Earth-like one that also orbits a sun-like star. Initially observed in 2017 with data from the National Aeronautics and Space […]

Heavier hydrogen makes silicon T centers shine brighter for quantum networks

Quantum technologies, computers or other devices that operate leveraging quantum mechanical effects, rely on the precise control of light and matter. Over the past decades, quantum physicists and material scientists have been trying to identify systems that can reliably generate photons (i.e., light particles) and could thus be used to create quantum technologies.

On the Trail of Alien Technology: Could Objects Like the “Aiud Wedge” Hold the Key?

In recent years, scientists have increasingly turned their attention to the possibility of finding evidence of extraterrestrial technology. This is partly due to the discovery of the first interstellar object known to have passed through our solar system, ‘Oumuamua, which caused great excitement among astronomers and the public alike.

Dynamical freezing can protect quantum information for near-cosmic timescales

Preserving quantum information is key to developing useful quantum computing systems. But interacting quantum systems are chaotic and follow laws of thermodynamics, eventually leading to information loss. Physicists have long known of a strange exception, called dynamical freezing, when quantum systems shaken at precisely tuned frequencies evade these laws. But how long can this phenomenon […]

InN thin films show transient Pauli blocking for broadband ultrafast optical switching

Recent decades have witnessed rapid advancements in high-intensity laser technology. The combination of laser irradiation and novel materials is opening exciting avenues for the design of functional materials and devices. Semiconductors are ideal platforms for generating laser-driven functionalities because they can exhibit novel features such as ultrafast optical transparency. This effect arises from electronic occupation […]

Where is Atlantis

The globe is full of mysteries. There are lost cities, ancient civilizations, and unsolved puzzles. One of the most famous mysteries is the story of Atlantis. The legend of Atlantis tells the story of a massive volcanic eruption that destroyed an island nation.

Some believe this island was in the Atlantic Ocean, while others […]

Assessment of rare ‘teenage’ planetary system deepens understanding of cosmic evolution

Planetary systems such as our solar system take hundreds of millions of years to evolve. Since humanity has only existed for a sliver of that time, astronomers have only observed planetary systems at birth or, more often, long after they have settled into adulthood. There is an information gap about what happens in the middle. […]

Cooling without gases: Molecular design brings solid-state cooling closer to reality

Some solid materials can cool down or heat up when pressure is applied or released. This behavior enables cooling and heating technologies that do not rely on climate-damaging refrigerant gases. In practice, however, a major obstacle remains: many materials behave differently during heating and cooling, which makes their response difficult to use reliably in real […]

Using moon dirt with 3D printing to build future lunar colonies

Simulated lunar dirt can be turned into extremely durable structures, potentially paving the way to more sustainable and cost-effective space missions, a new study suggests. Using a special laser 3D printing method, researchers melted fake lunar soil—a synthetic version of the fine dusty material on the moon surface, called regolith simulant—into layers and fused it […]
