A new, thin-lensed telescope design could far surpass James Webb—goodbye mirrors, hello diffractive lenses
Astronomers have discovered more than 5,000 planets outside of the solar system to date. The grand question is whether any of these planets are home to life. To find the answer, astronomers will likely need more powerful telescopes than exist today......»»
Apple’s 32-inch iMac not expected until late 2024 at the earliest, but does it even need to exist?
Last month, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple in the early stages of developing an Apple Silicon version of the iMac with a screen larger than 30 inches. In this week’s version of his Power On newsletter, Gurman offers a couple more ti.....»»
Why does matter exist? Roundness of electrons may hold clues
In the first moments of our universe, countless numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons formed alongside their antimatter counterparts. As the universe expanded and cooled, almost all these matter and antimatter particles met and annihilated each.....»»
Financial transparency index helps track the flow of "dark money" in politics
