ESO's 39-meter Extremely Large Telescope clears a landmark construction hurdle, bringing humanity's biggest eye on the sky closer to first light.
Technology
Scientists Crack Solid-State Battery's Dendrite Problem
Max Planck researchers identified exactly how soft lithium dendrites shatter ceramic electrolytes — a discovery that could triple EV range and make batteries far safer.
Technology
Metamaterial MRI Upgrade Sharpens Brain and Eye Scans
Scientists redesigned a key MRI antenna component using metamaterials, delivering sharper images of the brain and eye on existing scanners — no expensive hardware replacement needed.
Technology
Cape Town Pilot Flies a Quadcopter for Nearly 4 Hours Straight
South African aerial photographer Luke Bell smashed the Guinness World Record for the longest multirotor drone flight, keeping his custom-built quadcopter aloft for hours on a single battery pack.
Technology
UC San Diego Turns Old EV Batteries Into Higher-Energy Cathodes
A new upcycling process converts spent lithium iron phosphate cathodes from EV batteries into higher-performance lithium manganese iron phosphate — more energy from the same material.
Technology
Cambridge Study: A Simple Squeeze Doubles EV Battery Life
Steady physical pressure on lithium-ion pouch cells could double an EV battery's useful lifespan — no new chemistry required, according to new University of Cambridge research.
Technology
This New EV Charges From 10% to 80% in Under 6 Minutes
A new sedan from Geely's Lynk & Co brand can add 70 percent of its battery in the time it takes to buy coffee, thanks to a 900-volt architecture and a 492 kW average charging rate.
Technology
Texas A&M's New Laser Tool Measures the Quantum Forces Behind Drugs
A Texas A&M team has built a laser-based technique called TRIP that can directly measure the faint quantum forces holding proteins and drugs together — a powerful new tool for the next generation of medicines.

A Kyushu University team built a stable solid material that fuses two visible photons into one ultraviolet photon — a long-sought breakthrough that could power cleaner air purification and solar chemistry.
Technology
Monash Builds First Chip That Generates, Steers and Reads Light in One Device
A single Monash University chip can now generate, route and read information carried by light — solving a stubborn obstacle that has held back the field of valleytronics for years.
Technology
Cheese and Tofu Waste Turned Into Tiny CO2-Capturing Beads
ETH Zurich scientists turned dairy and tofu by-products into porous protein beads that captured 97 mg of CO2 per gram in lab tests, outperforming many existing systems.
Technology
A New Crystal Could Make Ultrathin AR Glasses and Smart Contacts Real
Scientists have mapped a layered crystal that bends light more strongly than any material before measured, opening a path to genuinely slim AR glasses and smart contact lenses.
Technology
Monash Builds a Tiny Chip That Computes With Light, Not Electricity
Australian researchers have packed multiple optical functions onto a single chip, opening a path to faster, lower-power computing — and quantum-inspired tech that runs at room temperature.
Technology
Inventor's Laundry Filter Is Already Pulling Tons of Microfibers From Wastewater
A simple add-on for home washing machines is trapping the synthetic threads that escape every wash, keeping plastic-based fibres out of rivers, oceans and tap water.
Technology
New Gene Test Could Spare Two-Thirds of Breast Cancer Patients from Chemo
A 4,000-person international trial of the Prosigna genomic test found that most early breast cancer patients can safely skip chemotherapy with no loss in five-year survival.
