According to RMI, as the climate warms, researchers are pushing solid-state air-conditioning systems that cool without traditional gases or compressors, potentially reducing a major source of emissions.

History is often told through dramatic events such as mass migrations, battles over land, and the building of huge stone structures. In fact, some of the minutest and most insignificant objects of personal nature often contain the best preserved aspects of day-to-day life in history.

Every year, the dairy and tofu industries generate enormous quantities of protein-rich liquid waste that mostly gets thrown away. Scientists at ETH Zurich have now found a use for it that has nothing to do with food.

By the early 1970s, this toy had become the subject of some of the most well-known studies in psychology. Scientists put children in a room and allowed them to observe adults hitting, kicking, and yelling at a Bobo doll.

In 1931, electron microscopy took a major step forward. The first prototype electron microscope is generally dated to 1931, but Ruska later described the first electron microscope in the modern sense as being built in 1933; the 1931 work was an early prototype by Max Knoll and Ernst Ruska.

Aditya-L1 observations have given scientists fresh evidence on how the Sun's corona is heated. The findings point to magnetic reconnection as the main energy source over wave motions.

Most people picture a black hole forming the same way: a massive star runs out of fuel, collapses under its own gravity, and disappears behind an event horizon. But Einstein's theory of general relativity has always allowed for something stranger.

In 1916, German chemists searching for a wartime substitute for soap stumbled upon something far more useful, a synthetic cleaning agent that worked even in hard water. World War I had cut off the animal fats and vegetable oils that soapmakers relied on, forcing scientists to experiment with petroleum-derived chemicals instead.

Golden sea silk has been recreated by Korean scientists using marine waste, reviving a centuries-old textile while advancing sustainable material innovation.

For centuries, honey bees have fascinated scientists with their ability to travel long distances, locate food and return unerringly to their hives. Now, a new study has revealed an even more remarkable skill hidden in plain sight.
