History is filled with stories of the great being felled by the puny. Goliath and a pebble, Achilles and his heel, the ultra-fast 6G network and … walls. Researchers at Aalto University in Finland have now invented a cheap, 3D-printed solution that could help future wireless signals bend around the barriers that currently stop them in their tracks.

A new passive technology could help future wireless networks reach places where signals struggle today. Dead zones are one of the most persistent problems in wireless communications. Whether it’s a basement office, a warehouse aisle, a tunnel, or a crowded indoor venue, signals often struggle to reach every corner. The challenge is expected to grow [...]

A new quantum-inspired algorithm is reshaping how scientists approach some of the most complex materials known, enabling rapid analysis of structures that were previously beyond computational reach. Quantum technologies, including quantum computers, rely on materials that display unusual quantum effects under specific conditions. Researchers have found that these properties can also be engineered…

A newly demonstrated link between a time crystal and a mechanical system opens a door scientists once thought closed. A shimmering crystal owes its color to the precise arrangement of its atoms. Physicist Frank Wilczek, who won the Nobel Prize in 2012, proposed that similar order could emerge in quantum systems, not in space but [...]

A new scientific investigation challenges long-held assumptions about Shackleton’s Endurance, revealing that the ship may never have been suited for the extreme Antarctic conditions it faced. Sir Ernest Shackleton’s ship, Endurance, was trapped and crushed by Antarctic sea ice before sinking in November 1915. A defining symbol of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration, the [...]
