Plastic pollution is not just in oceans and soil. Scientists have now found enormous amounts of microscopic plastic floating ...

Scientists measured mass and distance of free floating planet drifting through space without star for first time.

Astronomers believe the free-floating planet is around 22 percent the mass of Jupiter and lies 3,000 parsecs from the Milky ...

Simultaneous ground- and space-based observations of a newly discovered free-floating planet have enabled direct measurement of its mass and distance from Earth, according to a new study. The findings ...

When Edsger W. Dijkstra published his algorithm in 1959, computer networks were barely a thing. The algorithm in question found the shortest path between any two nodes on a graph, with a variant ...

German developer Sinn Power has announced the completion of what it claims to be the world’s largest floating photovoltaic plant featuring vertically oriented solar panels. The company said its ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

Floating offshore wind turbines open a whole new playing field for energy companies, which have so far had to stick to shallow waters. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Ever wondered how social media platforms decide how to fill our feeds? They use algorithms, of course, but how do these algorithms work? A series of corporate leaks over the past few years provides a ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose three modular multiplication algorithms that use only the IEEE 754 binary floatingpoint operations. Several previous studies have used floatingpoint operations to ...

The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and water reservoirs: Known as floating photovoltaics, or floatovoltaics, the devices bob on ...
