- Repurposed smartphone camera sensors create real-time, high-resolution imaging of antiproton annihilations
Did you know that the camera sensor in your smartphone could help unlock the secrets of antimatter? The AEgIS collaboration, led by Professor Christoph Hugenschmidt's team from the research neutron source FRM II at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has developed a detector using modified mobile camera sensors to image, in real time, the points where antimatter annihilates with matter.
- Scientists unveil new way to electrically control spin for ultra-compact devices using altermagnetic quantum materials
Spintronics, an emerging field of technology, exploits the spin of electrons rather than their charge to process and store information. Spintronics could lead to faster, more power-efficient computers and memory devices. However, most spintronic systems require magnetic fields to control spin, which is challenging in ultracompact device integration due to unwanted interference between components. This new research provides a way to overcome this limitation.

- 3,000-year-old Hallstatt dagger unearthed on Polish Baltic coast after storm
A remarkable archaeological discovery has emerged from Poland’s Baltic coast. A unique, highly detailed Hallstatt-era dagger was recovered from a clay deposit that had fallen from a cliff in the wake of a storm. Dated to approximately 2,800 years ago, the discovery provides new evidence of the craftsmanship and cultural exchange of the early Iron The post 3,000-year-old Hallstatt dagger unearthed on Polish Baltic coast after storm appeared first on Archaeology News Online Magazine.
- The role of children in Paleolithic cave art: creators, apprentices, or spiritual mediators?
A recent study from Tel Aviv University has put forth a new hypothesis regarding the presence of children in prehistoric cave art sites. Earlier, it was believed by scholars that children accompanied adults into deep caves to learn cultural traditions. But according to a team of archaeologists, these children could have played a more spiritual The post The role of children in Paleolithic cave art: creators, apprentices, or spiritual mediators? appeared first on Archaeology News Online Magazine.
- Martian dust may endanger astronaut health during surface missions
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 01, 2025 New research involving the University of Colorado Boulder warns that exposure to Martian dust could pose serious health threats to astronauts on future missions. According to the study, prolonged contact with this extraterrestrial dust may result in chronic lung damage, disruptions to thyroid function, and other harmful conditions. Published in the journal GeoHealth, the study is the first
- Lunar soundwave tech offers new hope for extracting Moon ice
London, UK (SPX) Apr 01, 2025 The UK Space Agency has announced the winner of its Aqualunar Challenge, a Pounds 150,000 award recognizing pioneering technology to purify water extracted from frozen lunar soil. Gloucestershire-based Naicker Scientific claimed the top prize with its SonoChem System, an innovative device that uses high-frequency sound waves to clean water derived from lunar ice. The prize, part of a larg
