Computers that could switch on instantly without the time-consuming process of “booting” an operating system is just one of the possibilities, according to a new paper by a team of researchers spannin...
Materials Sciences |Researchers say their study, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, could provide fresh clues to explain biomagnetism – a phenomenon in which some birds, insects and marine life navi...
Earth Sciences |In the quantum world, objects such as atoms are allowed to exist in multiple states simultane-ously -- that is, they could literally be in two places at once or possess a number of other seemingly mut...
Physics and Astronomy |The main difference: these materials are not magnetic, but permanently electrically polarized. They have great importance for data storage technology and novel piezoelectric devices. Dresden scientist...
Physics and Astronomy |However, detecting them isn't so easy.Enter Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists, who discovered a new physical phenomenon that enables them to see high frequency waves by co...
Physics and Astronomy |“This is much more than a theoretical exercise,” said Harley Johnson, a Cannon Faculty Scholar and professor of mechanical science and engineering at Illinois. “An optical cloaking device is almost wi...
Physics and Astronomy |String theory – a theory whose fundamental building blocks are tiny one-dimensional filaments called strings – is the leading contender for a “theory of everything.” Such a theory would unify all four...
Physics and Astronomy |Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory, along with collaborators in Turkey and Japan, have created a compact device that could lead to portable, battery-operate...
Power and Electrical Engineering |Scientists have demonstrated that they can control the properties in a dye known as Metal Phthalocyanine, or MPc, with the use of magnetism. Though this technology is still in its infancy, res...
Information Technology |A liquid that changes its color “on demand” and can take on any color of the rainbow one desires? A research team headed by Yadong Yin at the University of California, Riverside (USA) has now shared t...
Life Sciences |The findings, which are contrary to previous studies, suggest that even in its earliest stages the Earth was already well protected from the solar wind, which can strip away a planet's atmosphere...
Earth Sciences |Rice University chemists have discovered that tiny building blocks known as gold nanorods spontaneously assemble themselves into ring-like superstructures. This finding, which will be publishe...
Life Sciences |It might not be science fiction much longer.Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories are developing the next generation of screening devices that will identify hazardous and toxic materials...
Physics and Astronomy |But atoms are not willing subjects. They jiggle furiously, defying any microscopist who tries to catch them at a standstill. Nor are they polite: The larger atoms in a molecule typically overshadow th...
Physics and Astronomy |Mesoporous nanospheres focus of Ames Laboratory research Delivering a dose of chemotherapy drugs to specific cancer cells without the risk of side affects to healthy cells ...
