Trying to predict the future is often a task that guarantees frustration, but one thing you can be reasonably certain about for 2026 is that finding important mineral deposits will continue to be a ...

Earlier, people depended on touchstone tests or the local jeweller’s word. Those methods were quick but not always accurate.

High-precision measurements from the KATRIN experiment strongly limit the existence of light sterile neutrinos and narrow the search for new physics. Neutrinos are extremely difficult to detect, yet ...

A small, icy moon of Saturn called Enceladus is one of the prime targets in the search for life elsewhere in the solar system ...

AVIRIS-5 is one of the newest tools in a joint research project from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) called GEMx. The project is designed to search for surface traces of critical minerals, ...

AI and spectroscopy enhance plastic recycling sorting accuracy and efficiency for sustainable manufacturing practices.

Corpse plants are rare, and seeing one bloom is even rarer. They open once every seven to 10 years, and the blooms last just ...
