NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected a diverse mix of organic molecules, including nitrogen- and sulfur-bearing compounds, in clay-rich rocks in Mars’ Gale Crater. The findings, made using its onboard SAM instrument, mark the first such chemical experiment conducted on another planet

Researchers have found experimental evidence of “dark points” or optical vortices within light waves that appear to move faster than light under specific conditions. The findings support a decades-old theoretical prediction first proposed in the 1970s
