Artificial intelligence consumes power at an accelerating rate. A technology built on harvesting cosmic radiation offers a solution that closes the loop…
Cern researchers are testing traps capable of moving antimatter, which explodes into energy as soon as it comes into contact with regular matter

Earth is continuously bombarded by cosmic rays—extremely energetic particles (mostly protons and atomic nuclei) coming from space.

Far below the surface of the Mediterranean Sea, a network of sensors watches the darkness.

For centuries, matter was cast as passive. Steel carried load. Concrete resisted compression. Silicon transmitted signals.

The provocation sounds almost childish when stated plainly. Why send signals around the Earth when nature already sends particles straight through it.

Walk into a modern materials laboratory and the air feels heavier than it should. Not from fumes or heat, but from accounting.

In every generation of energy technology, a material has defined the limits of what was possible.

When tracing the path of scientific progress, the temptation is always to draw a single line, to name a discovery, a company, or a visionary and stop there.

Every technological revolution begins not with a machine, but with a material. From bronze to silicon, from copper wiring to superconductors…

In 2004, researchers Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov used adhesive tape to isolate carbon layers just one atom thick.
