Electrostatic forces enable low-voltage actuation without relying on rare earth materials. Nearly every electric motor in modern life, from the fan on your desk to the motor in an electric vehicle, relies on magnetism. For more than a century, magnetic fields have dominated motor design because electrostatic forces were considered too weak for practical machines. […]

Scientists Just Found All 5 Genetic “Letters” of DNA and RNA on an Asteroid
The discovery of all five nucleobases on Ryugu strengthens the idea that life’s molecular ingredients formed in space before reaching Earth. A new study reports that samples from the asteroid Ryugu contain all five fundamental nucleobases, the molecular “letters” of life. Tiny asteroid grains can preserve chemical clues about the ingredients that may have helped […]
After Decades of Mystery, Researchers Locate a Missing Page of the Archimedes Palimpsest
A newly identified Archimedes Palimpsest leaf could help recover lost ancient mathematics using modern imaging techniques. A page from one of the world’s most important ancient manuscripts has resurfaced after being missing for decades. Researchers have identified a long-lost leaf from the Archimedes Palimpsest at the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Blois, France, a discovery that […]
