Stringent quality control is essential in the pharmaceutical industry, as both cosmetics and pharmaceutical products must maintain a high standard of quality. Any deviation from these standards poses a significant threat to their market survival. Customers believe that every product will work with every use. In vitro release testing (IVRT) is a crucial process that enables manufacturers to meet

Controlling light across scales, from microscopes and telescopes down to nanometers, is a central challenge in modern optics. Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have now demonstrated a nanoscale mirror whose reflectivity can be switched on and off electrically using quantum effects in an atomically thin material. Physicists Tom Hoekstra and Jorik van de Groep of the UvA-Institute o

A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have demonstrated a method to back up quantum information by encrypting qubits during copying, providing redundancy while remaining consistent with the no-cloning theorem. Quantum computing stores and processes information in qubits, which can be implemented in individual electrons, photons, atoms, ions or tiny electrical currents.

A Chinese suborbital spacecraft designed for reusable operations and future space tourism has completed a key test flight, marking a new step in the country's commercial space ambitions. The vehicle, designated PH-1, is developed by Beijing-based commercial aerospace company CAS Space and is intended to support low cost scientific experiments in microgravity as well as pave the way for pas

Tiny Mars' big impact on Earth's climate

Riverside, CA (SPX) Jan 12, 2026
At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. And yet, new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth's orbit and shaping the cycles that drive long-term climate patterns here, including ice ages. Stephen Kane, a professor of planetary astrophysics at UC Riverside, began this project with doubts about recent studi

For decades scientists have puzzled over why the moons two hemispheres look so different despite sharing a common origin in the early solar system. The near side that always faces Earth is dominated by dark flat volcanic plains called maria that create the familiar man in the moon pattern seen with the naked eye. In contrast the far side has a much thicker crust and appears as a rugged hea
