The Hubble Space Telescope has temporarily stopped observing the cosmos. NASA says the telescope slipped into a hibernating state more than a week ago when one of its gyroscopes malfunctioned. Hubble remains safe but inactive as flight controllers figure out how to resume scientific operations. Hubble got six new gyroscopes during astronauts’ final visit in…
Knitting, the age-old craft of looping and stitching natural fibers into fabrics, has received renewed attention for its potential applications in advanced manufacturing. Far beyond their use for garments, knitted textiles are ideal for designing and fabricating emerging technologies like wearable electronics or soft robotics—structures that need to move and bend. Knitting, the age-old craft of…
Several million cells divide every second in our bodies. During nuclear division (mitosis), the genetic material must be distributed correctly and completely between the daughter cells—errors in this process can lead to defective developments or genetic disorders, and many cancer cells are also characterized by unequal numbers of chromosomes. Several million cells divide every second in…
Archaeologists have mapped 14 sites featuring the world’s largest monumental engravings, proposing that they were created to signal the territorial boundaries of the prehistoric inhabitants.

As things stand today, global demand for cobalt and lithium for e-car batteries will increase almost 20-fold by 2050. By then, the development of a fossil-free power supply will require a lot of copper, aluminum and iron, and the respective demand is likely to roughly double. As things stand today, global demand for cobalt and lithium…

Researchers at Harvard University, Sabanci University, and Peking University recently gathered findings that could shed light on the origin of the high-temperature absorption peaks observed in strange metals, a class of materials exhibiting unusual electronic properties that do not conform to the conventional theory of metals.
