Folded optical devices manipulate light in a new way

Most optical systems require in excess of a single metasurface to work legitimately. In metasurface-based optical systems, the greater part of the total volume...

Mars likely to have enough Oxygen underneath its surface to support life

A team of scientists at Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which Caltech manages for NASA, has calculated that water exists on Mars...

Astronomers spot a completely new type of supernova explosion

Astronomers at the Caltech have recently observed the peculiar death of a massive star that exploded in a surprisingly faint and rapidly fading supernova. These...

Superfast jet observed streaming away from stellar collision

Using a collection of National Science Foundation radio telescopes, Caltech scientists now confirmed that a superfast jet had been produced by the neutron star collision. They...

Scientists created AI from DNA

Caltech scientists have recently developed an AI made out of DNA that can tackle a classic machine learning problem by precisely recognizing written by hand...

Scientists can now predict intelligence from brain scans

If you've ever lied about your IQ to seem more intelligent, it's time to fess up. Scientists can now tell how smart you are...

The cartography of the nucleus

Settled somewhere down in every one of your cells is the thing that appears like a magic trick: Six feet of DNA is bundled...

How social isolation transforms the brain

Chronic social isolation is often associated with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder in humans. Caltech scientists conducted a study on this topic- chronic social isolation...

No Motor, No Battery, No Problem

Caltech scientists in collaboration with ETH Zurich scientists have developed robots that can perform tasks without using battery or motor. The robot performs the tasks...
