9+ hour, 39+ min ago  (211+ words) lead image Imagine you're in a train station. You can hear a screeching locomotive, a musician's guitar, and your neighbor's phone conversation. Discerning each sound and processing the information is a complex ability that arises from many intertwined auditory components....

4+ hour, 28+ min ago  (329+ words) lead image As we continue to deplete light oil reserves for use in transportation, heavy oil is being eyed as a replacement; unlike light oil, however, the refining process is more complex, and even accessing it can be a problem....

4+ hour, 32+ min ago  (301+ words) lead image With thousands of data centers around the world and counting, the energy required to cool servers is immense and will continue to grow. By studying the effects of parameters like airflow and server geometry, Huaitao Zhu and Jiawen…...

5+ hour, 15+ min ago  (188+ words) lead image Voelker et al. sought a better solution. With a combination of experiments, they wanted to determine whether headphones placed around an individual's neck, rather than over the ears, can be used as the sound source for portable HPFT…...

9+ hour, 44+ min ago  (268+ words) lead image Until very recently, physicists did not know whether antimatter falls up. Despite theoretical explanations and thought experiments implying it shouldn't, physics is ultimately based in experiment, and it wasn't until 2023 and the ALPHA-g experiment at CERN that we…...

1+ day, 9+ hour ago  (228+ words) lead image Islands face unique challenges when it comes to energy storage and management. Their limited space makes large-scale energy storage impractical, and their distance from the mainland can lead to poor power stability. Moreover, sustainable energy solutions like wind…...
