Inspired by the Japanese art of kirigami, an MIT team has designed a technique that could transform flat panels into medical devices, habitats, and other objects without the use of tools.

Webb has delivered the first detailed 3D view of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, uncovering glowing auroras, heat peaks thousands of kilometers high, and the powerful influence of its tilted magnetic field ...

Fresh observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how vivid auroras surge through Uranus’s tilted magnetic field ...

Ever had an idea for something that looked cool, but wouldn't work well in practice? When it comes to designing things like ...

The geoid (the surface of equal gravitational potential of a hypothetical ocean at rest) serves as the classical reference ...

One of the strongest of these depressions – where the gravity field is weaker – lies under Antarctica. Now, new models of how the so-called Antarctic Geoid Low evolved over time have shown that it's ...

After accounting for Earth’s rotation, gravity is slightly weaker beneath Antarctica than anywhere else on the planet. That ...

While a "gravity hole" in Antarctica has been on scientists’ radar for some time, its history has never been fully understood. New research is beginning to change that, and in doing so, suggest ...

Achieving sub-second 3D printing, DISH combines wave-optics modeling and angular illumination to improve resolution and depth in additive manufacturing.

The broadest planned survey by NASA’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will reveal hundreds of millions of galaxies scattered across the cosmos. After Roman launches as soon as this fall, ...

An international collaboration of astrophysicists that includes researchers from Yale has created and tested a detection system that uses gravitational waves to map out the locations of merging black ...

I don’t know who invented this crazy challenge, but the idea is to put someone in a carved-out ice bowl and see if they can get out. Check it out! The bowl is shaped like the inside of a sphere, so ...
