Researchers propose an unconventional way to generate light made from entangled photons. In the graphic above, photons meet the electrons of a helium atom, which then emits two entangled photons.

Researchers have run through near-perfect fossils of the world’s first gliding reptile with a fine-toothed comb and untangled hitherto unknown facets to discover it was a change in tree canopy which likely facilitated such flight in these creatures.

Early in its history, shortly after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with equal amounts of matter and ‘antimatter’ — particles that are matter counterparts but with opposite charge. But then, as space expanded, the universe cooled. Today’s univer…

Researchers developed a system that streamlines the process of federated learning, a technique where users collaborate to train a machine-learning model in a way that safeguards each user’s data. The system reduces communication costs of federated lear…

While on missions without access to clean water, U. S. Marines face the challenge of procuring and storing enough drinking water to sustain them. Chemical engineers are working toward a realistic purification option that is portable, lightweight and ea…

Stars are the machines that sculpt the universe, yet scientists don’t fully know how they form. To understand the frenzied ‘baby boom’ of star birth that occurred early in the universe’s history, researchers turned to the Small Magellanic Cloud, a sate…

One of the most upsetting aspects of age-related memory decline is not being able to remember the face that accompanies the name of a person you just talked with hours earlier. While researchers don’t understand why this dysfunction occurs, a new study…
