Is it possible to build a Dyson sphere that isn't catastrophically unstable? New research says yes, but only in one type of ...

Physicist Freeman Dyson first proposed what has come to be known as a Dyson sphere in a 1960 paper in Science. It is a shell structure that would completely surround a star, built from dissembled ...

These Dyson swarms will trap heat so any planets within the sphere are likely to experience a temperature increase. A new paper explores this and concludes that a complete Dyson swarm outside the ...

This sphere would enclose a star, providing billions of planets' worth of surface area and capturing vast amounts of solar energy. Dyson calculated that a shell made from a planet with the mass of ...
