Researchers from Yale have identified giant clams, with their unique photosynthetic structures and light-scattering capabilities, as a potential model for improving solar panel efficiency. These clams, which thrive in the intense sunlight of tropical coral reefs, have a quantum efficiency far surpassing current solar technologies. The study highlights the importance of biodiversity in inspiring sustainable […]

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has ruled out S-shaped bends in the sun’s magnetic field as a cause of the corona’s searing temperatures, according to a study by the University of Michigan published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The sun’s corona, which resembles a crown, can be 200 times hotter than the sun’s surface despite being
