Euclid is designed to look far and wide to answer some of the most fundamental questions about our universe: What are dark matter and dark energy? What role did they play in formation of the cosmic web? The mission will catalogue billions of distant galaxies by scanning across the sky …

Swift, illustrated here, is a collaboration between NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, Penn State in University Park, the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, and Northrop Grumman Innovation Systems in Dulles, Virginia. Other partners include the University of Leicester and Mullard Space Science Laboratory in the …

AI tools such as DALL-E can generate sophisticated artworks based on text prompts Rokas Tenys/Shutterstock Using artificial intelligence to create artworks increases artists’ productivity and generates more positive reactions, according to a study involving submissions to a popular art-sharing website by more than 50,000 users. However, generative AI works are …

Credit: NASA, ESA, and D. Coe (NASA JPL/Caltech and STScI) Dark matter is one of science’s greatest mysteries. It doesn’t absorb, reflect or emit light, so we can’t see it. But its presence is implied by the gravitational effects it appears to have on galaxies. Although dark matter makes up …

The asteroid Dimorphos was captured by NASA’s DART mission just two seconds before the spacecraft struck its surface on Sept. 26, 2022. Observations of the asteroid before and after impact suggest it is a loosely packed “rubble pile” object. Credit: NASA/Johns Hopkins APL After NASA’s historic Double Asteroid Redirection Test, …

Corner kicks, like this one taken by Trent Alexander-Arnold for Liverpool, can lead to goal-scoring opportunities Robbie Jay Barratt/ AMA/Getty An artificial intelligence model can predict the outcome of corner kicks in football matches and help coaches design tactics that increase or decrease the probability of a player taking a …

U.S. and Japanese team members gather around and discuss the gamma-ray spectrometer portion of the MEGANE instrument during its development at Johns Hopkins APL.

This artist’s illustration shows planets orbiting a red dwarf star. Many red dwarfs have planets in their habitable zones, but red dwarf flaring might mean those zones aren’t habitable at all. New research explores the idea. Credit: NASA Even though exoplanet science has advanced significantly in the last decade or …

The Nvidia GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip Nvidia Nvidia has unveiled a “superchip” for training artificial intelligence models, the most powerful it has ever produced. The US computing firm, which has recently rocketed in value to become the world’s third-largest company, has yet to reveal the cost of its new chips, …
