Satellite developed by MIT aims to discover thousands of nearby exoplanets, including at least 50 Earth-sized ones.
Black holes in these environments could combine repeatedly to form objects bigger than anything a single star could produce.
Large concentrations of sulfites and bisulfites in shallow lakes may have set the stage for Earth’s first biological molecules.
Observation made possible because the star's brightness had been magnified by the gravity of a larger object in front of it.
Scientists provide a complete toolbox for the final proof of Majorana existence, paving the way towards Majorana quantum bits.
Nanofiber dressings heal wounds, promote regeneration.
MIT-developed system could provide drinking water even in extremely arid locations.
Applications could include ultrafast wireless communications, high-voltage switches and high-intensity lighting and photonics.
