Scientists have created a programmable material that gives engineers unprecedented control over heat, with potential applications ranging from energy systems to next-generation photonic memory. Heat normally follows strict rules. A material that efficiently absorbs heat from a particular direction and wavelength will also emit heat the same way. This fundamental principle, known as reciprocity, has […]

The Universe Was Barely Born When These Giant Black Holes Appeared
Thirty-one newly discovered ancient quasars are giving scientists their clearest view yet of the universe’s earliest giant black holes. Quasars are among the brightest objects in the universe, shining with the power of supermassive black holes consuming vast amounts of matter. Some are so luminous they outshine entire galaxies, allowing astronomers to see them across […]
Scientists Find the Hidden “Fuel” That May Intensify Tropical Clouds
Deep, clean convective clouds can reach high supersaturation levels that may allow aerosols to intensify cloud growth. Tiny aerosol particles can change how clouds behave, but scientists have long debated whether they can actually make tropical storm clouds grow stronger. The question matters because deep convective clouds help shape rainfall, lightning, and climate, yet the […]
