Due to their high porosity, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are regarded as promising materials for innovative applications, ...

For years, physicists were stuck in trying to explain an important mathematical problem in physics. The right approach ended ...

TU Wien has detected strong quantum entanglement for the first time in a centimeter-sized crystal of a strange metal.

These short anomaly-detection puzzles are designed to illustrate how reasoning often depends on identifying inconsistencies ...

In the mid-noughties, when music by the Killers and Franz Ferdinand blared out of every pub and nightclub I passed, I spent my days and nights struggling through a Ph. D.

Artificial intelligence is often used to generate images. In research, specialized AI models are used for scientific applications—for example, to predict the positions of atoms in materials. The ...

Physicists have long known that black holes do not necessarily have to form from collapsing stars. Under the right conditions, spacetime itself can organize into a delicate, highly ordered state that ...

One hundred and ninety-three in 41 countries: that is the reported figure on cases of social media shutdowns across Africa between 2016 and 2024. The subsequent years weren’t any better, with cases ...
