So I know that we feel weightless during a free fall as there's no normal force acting on us or my other way of thinking is that considering a lift and both lift and I fall with $g$ then no normal force between us to make me feel my weight and if lift is accelerating up then I will feel my weight more as I am experiencing more normal force from lift. Now what if I am moving with upward velocity a…

The time dilation effects around black holes DO exist BUT they are not as dramatic as they are often portrayed in science fiction works. Yet is there a way to use black holes for a significant amount of time travel (perhaps with several black holes)?

A team led by Haitao Wang and Jia Wang at the Institute of Materials and Systems for Sustainability (IMaSS), Nagoya University, has come up with a new way of lowering the resistance of p-type GaN contacts.

This paper is my attempt at formalising my philosophical system Ontic Expansion, I am very much open to criticism considering I am not a mathematician and am still learning.

Nature Communications, Published online: 29 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-76701-2 Lanthanide nanotransducers can convert mid-infrared light into nearinfrared signals but suffer from weak emission. Here, authors couple Nd3 + /Yb3 + -doped nanoparticles with gold nanospheres to achieve silicon-readable detection with seven-fold improvement in specific detectivity relative to the pristine nano…

Nature Communications, Published online: 29 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41467-026-77257-x Electromagnetic interference shields can be limited by impedance mismatch with free space, leading to strong reflections and secondary radiation. Here, the authors introduce lightweight all-polymer aerogels with a continuous through-thickness conductivity gradient, fabricated in a single step via diffusion-dri…

In our fifth installment, we explore the most exotic proposals for interstellar travel, including the Alcubierre Warp Metric, wormhole travel, the Halo Drive, and other truly advanced concepts.

If you are a woman in tech who is stuck in "tutorial hell," constantly taking courses but never actually deploying real software, this is for you. I am Mary Macharia, a Software Engineer specializing in Backend Development, AI/ML, and QA. I founded SHEinnov8 because I noticed a massive gap in our community: plenty of brilliant women have the drive to build something real, but they lack the space,…

When a pregnancy ends early and unexplained, the search for answers usually begins with the mother. Lacey Luense, Ph.D., wants to know what the father's sperm might have to do with it.

​Traditional weight-loss strategies for children, from calorie restriction to general aerobic exercise, often carry an unwanted side effect: they cut fat, but they also erode muscle mass.
