Researchers at Koc University have developed a method that uses photogrammetry, 3D printing and embedded sensors to repair damaged ancient pottery. The customised 3D-printed sections can replace missing parts while monitoring temperature, humidity, pH and physical stress. Tested on maritime amphorae from Türkiye and Italy, the approach could help conservators track changes and support long-term pr...
Astronomers have made fascinating observations of stars that are caught in a gravitational dance with supermassive black holes. As these stars approach, they lose material in a series of light bursts that fade over time. New research indicates that the stars' rapid initial spin is key to this phenomenon, as it limits excessive rotation during subsequent encounters with the black holes.

In 2005, scientists examined cricket reproduction on the International Space Station, where embryos grew under microgravity conditions. Interestingly, larvae emerged sooner than those on Earth, suggesting that microgravity affects developmental speed while preserving key neural structures. This research is vital for comprehending how life forms adjust to lesser gravitational forces, expanding our ...
Scientists have frozen the liquid inside a special optical fibre to -196°C, creating conditions where light and sound interact more than 1,000 times more strongly than in ordinary fibres. The team found that the frozen fibre could still guide light and hypersonic sound waves. The breakthrough also helped researchers demonstrate optoacoustic memory, which could have potential applications in lower-...
