Researchers have developed a novel material using nanocrystals that converts light into a mechanical force able to lift 1,000 times its mass, opening the door for wireless, remote-controlled systems that operate without heat or electricity.

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most intriguing mysteries of modern astronomy, so the more of them we can locate, the closer we get to figuring what causes them. Now astronomers have managed to trace an FRB back to its home galaxy, many billions of light-years away.

The MeerKAT radio telescope array is finally up and running in South Africa. To show off what the facility can do, astronomers have pointed all 64 antennas towards the center of the Milky Way galaxy, and snapped one of the clearest shots ever taken of the mysterious region.

Fast radio bursts have scientists puzzled, but the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder radio telescope may help find some answers. New Atlas spoke to Keith Bannister, an astronomer on the project, about what might be behind these strange signals and how the mystery might be unraveled.

Scientists at Harvard University and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies have developed a method for simulating the evolution of the Universe that produces realistic galaxies.

The Square Kilometer Array (SKA) Organisation has announced that the world's largest and most sensitive radio telescope will be shared between Australia and South Africa.

Scientists have created an array of microlenses that slow down or stop light, which could be used to identify biological substances.

Apple has revealed plans to build the United States' largest end user-owned, onsite solar array at its Maiden, North Carolina iDataCenter.

Through the implantation of a stimulating electrode array, a team of researchers has given a man rendered paralyzed from the chest down the ability to stand and take his first tentative steps in four years.

Researchers have created a new type of highly absorbing, flexible solar cell that is cheap to produce.

Raytheon announces the development of a 16 megapixel focal plane array that will allow whole hemisphere surveying using only one array

The US state of Arizona is now home to the world’s largest solar array using Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide (CIGS) thin-film solar cells.
