Imagine a material that can not only protect your gadgets from unwanted interference but also sense how they're being used. That's exactly what scientists have cooked up with a unique foam. This foam is made from something called MXene and polyurethane. This combination allows the foam to be both s
Sri Lanka's turnaround is fascinating. An unexpected spark came from a typical parliament session when a male MP, who did not exactly have a strong feminist track record, made a statement with quite a punch. He suggested that the nation couldn't boost its female workforce if it didn't embra
Every so often, scientists figure out tiny tricks to get closer to a solution to a big problem. For instance, scientists have been using a special microscope that lets them zoom in on atomic movement and spot what the others miss in the big world of batteries and other materials. The reason this te
Ever dreamt of trading your daily pills for something easier, more convenient? For folks living with HIV in specific states in the southern half of country it is now a reality, in this case known as the long-acting injectable antiretroviral therapy. This might sound like cool science fiction fr
Deep pockets are trying to attract customers in a heated contest between mobile giants. Samsung has set its sights on Apple's dominance with the launch of the 2025 Galaxy S25 series, but to grab attention they had to offer a few whopping deals in the preorder phase. These are the biggest incentives
Silicon is an incredible element, and its structures can be fascinating. You may have heard of a hydrogen-terminated Si(100) surface, where atoms stick out and have loose bonds. These loose ends are like tiny islands of high energy, stuck between the usual energy levels of silicon. Scientists are ve
Have you ever wondered why some electronic devices can heat up quickly? A big reason is tiny components called GaN HEMTs. These little transistors can get really hot, especially when there are many of them. Scientists came up with a clever solution: they swapped the silicon carbide base with a singl
SpaceX founder Elon Musk made a strange announcement on his social media platform X on Tuesday. He claimed that President Trump asked SpaceX to bring home two astronauts stranded on the International Space Station. The statement was unusual and caused confusion for NASA. One possible explanation is
Did you know that tiny molecular layers can be grown and used as teeny-tiny energy storage devices on a chip? Scientists have found a way to create these using benzimidazole compounds. They laid these layers on a special surface withelectrochemical methods, creating films as thin as 10 nanometers. I
Did you know that astronauts heading to the Moon for NASA's Artemis missions need special boots? Why? Because the Moon's poles are super cold, reaching temperatures as low as -369°F (-223°C)! That's way colder than the equatorial regions where the Apollo missions landed. The extreme temperatures mea
