Picture this: tiny gaps in a material that were once seen as a major issue. These are hydrogen vacancies in metal-halide perovskites, which are used to make solar cells. For a long time, scientists believed these vacancies caused a lot of energy loss as heat, instead of converting it into electricit
Scientists were quick to share what they knew about COVID-19. They had to guess a lot at first. They thought COVID-19 would act like other viruses. They were wrong about many things. They thought it would be easy to stop. They thought it would not spread through the air. They thought masks were not
Have you ever wondered why some people strongly believe in science norms while others don't? This is especially true when it comes to hot-button science topics like COVID-19 or climate change. These topics often spark heated debates, not just among scientists, but also among regular folks. But what
Bitcoin, the digital currency that has taken the world by storm, has been a hot topic in both economic and network science circles. One of the biggest challenges in studying Bitcoin is making sense of its raw blockchain data. This data is freely available, but it's not easy to analyze due to the uni
Imagine trying to make a big decision with lots of moving parts and uncertainty. That's where decision sciences (DSC) comes in. It's all about studying complex systems to help us make smart choices. Over the past 25 years, the way we teach and study DSC has changed a lot. DSC used to focus
Indigenous students face big hurdles in biomedical science and pharmacy research. These challenges come from long-standing issues and educational systems that don't always fit their needs. But there's hope. The University of Newcastle (UoN) is taking steps to change this. The UoN set up the
Every two years, a unique event brings together people from all corners of the globe. This event is not a sporting competition or a scientific conference. It's an art competition. The theme? Neuroscience. The Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience hosts this international art competition. It's open
Imagine the tiniest human life, so small it can fit on your fingertip. These are embryos grown in labs. They spark huge questions about science, ethics, and what it means to be human. These tiny lives challenge us to think deeply about our beliefs and values. They remind us that every life,
Picture this: scientists are on a hunt for new drugs, but the targets are always changing. They need to figure out how molecules will act in the body, like if they're harmful or can cross the blood-brain barrier. This is where AI steps in, speeding up and improving the process. AI, especial
China has sent a new satellite into space. This isn't just any satellite, though. It's called ChinaSat-10R, and it's designed to replace an older one that's been up there since 2011. The launch happened on February 22 from a place called Xichang Satellite Launch Center. This launch was a big deal be
