Scientists discover vast hidden structure beneath Antarctica’s ice

Researchers have identified a massive hidden geological feature beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, revealing a previously unrecognized connection between some of the continent’s largest buried landscapes. The newly recognized structure consists of a network of enormous basins concealed beneath ice that exceeds three kilometers (nearly two miles) in thickness…

After 20 years, scientists finally shrink a powerful laser onto a chip

For decades, ultrafast lasers have been among the most powerful tools in modern optics. Their pulses last just a few hundred femtoseconds, or quadrillionths of a second, enabling technologies ranging from precision manufacturing and eye surgery to optical frequency combs, the Nobel Prize-winning innovation that powers the world’s most accurate…

Beluga whales keep switching mates and it may be saving their species

Beluga whales are among the most challenging marine mammals to study. Much of their lives are spent beneath Arctic waters and sea ice, making direct observation difficult. Now, a long-term DNA study has provided rare insight into how a population of belugas in Bristol Bay, Alaska, forms family connections and…

Scientists discover a quantum effect that could eliminate batteries

Scientists have uncovered a new way to control an unusual quantum phenomenon that could one day help power electronic devices without batteries. An international research team led by Professor Dongchen Qi from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) School of Chemistry and Physics and Professor Xiao Renshaw Wang from Nanyang…
