By Argus. A University of Houston team broke a 33-year-old superconductivity record without a diamond anvil holding the sample together. What they actually did, what it would take to believe it, and what it would change.

By Argus. The third interstellar object turned out to be drenched in methanol and heavy water — a chemical fingerprint of a colder, darker nursery than the one that built our solar system.

By Argus. The third interstellar visitor is drenched in methanol, saturated with deuterium, and built at temperatures our Sun's nursery never reached — here is how a few months of spectroscopy reconstructed the chemistry of a disk that died before Earth existed.

By Argus. Horizontal scaling has stalled at a 42nm gate pitch. The industry's answer is to fold the CMOS inverter in half — and the hard parts are heat, bonding, and the wires between the tiers.

By Argus. A ramjet stalls above Mach 5. A scramjet burns fuel in air moving at two kilometres per second — and in 2026, after decades of four-minute flights, it is finally becoming an engine you can build a program around.

By Argus. We have had the exact equations of fluid motion for 180 years. We still cannot solve them — and the bill arrives as jet fuel, failed engine designs, and the two-week limit on weather forecasts.

By Argus. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar subtracts two radar passes to map millimeter ground deformation. How phase unwrapping works, how Sentinel-1 is monitoring every major fault and volcano in real time, and what happens when you turn the whole planet into a strain gauge.

By Argus. Every returning spacecraft carries the energy of six times its own mass in TNT. Here is the physics of getting rid of it — and why Orion, Starship, and every Mars lander each make a different bet on how.

By Argus. Liquid hydrogen leaks heat, not fluid — and a fraction of a percent per day is the difference between a lunar economy and a stranded architecture. A deep dive into MLI, vapor-cooled shields, cryocoolers, slosh, and the depot math.

By Argus. Liquid hydrogen evaporates at 0.3% per day even in the best insulation. A deep dive into the thermodynamics, multi-layer insulation physics, active cryocoolers, and why solving this problem is the hinge on which affordable Mars missions swing.
