Grav waves are unimpeded so when the instruments get sensitive enough you'll be able to hear EVERYTHING. Throw AI at all that data and it's like a science superpower.

Get hyped?You can tell the authors of the new room temperature superconductor paper believe in their results because they published two papers about it concurrently: one with six authors, and one with only three.
The Nobel prize can be shared by at most three people.

A PhD research student at University of Rochester in New York claims to have invented a material that is a superconductor at room temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
