And it comes from managing radio frequency (RF) …

Two of the Earth’s most colorful supernatural atmospheric phenomena, aurora and aerial glow, hit just before breakfast in this photo, taken by an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS). Wavy green, red-topped wipes from Northern Lights appear to cross the muted red-yellow band of aerial glow as the ISS …

One of the main challenges in turning quantum technology from potential to reality is getting superfine quantum states to last longer than a few milliseconds – and scientists are simply lifting the bar by a factor of about 10,000. They did this by tackling what is called decoherence: that is, …

Lava orbits below the surface of both the moon and Mars are large enough to be the houses of planetary bases, as humans continue to explore the cosmos, suggests a newly published study. Research shows that the tubes are probably between 100 and 1,000 times the size of those on …
