Titanium and gold are usually not magnetic and cannot be magnets – unless you combine them just so.
Physicists in Syracuse University's College of Arts and Sciences have confirmed the existence of two rare pentaquark states. Their discovery, which has taken…
Is it possible to communicate and visualize a concept for an innovative computer tomograph with Lego blocks, or to design a rescue device for mine workers with…
PEM stands for polymer electrolyte membrane, and describes a process designed to generate hydrogen using water and electricity. Part of a two-year research…
Siemens performed the tests at the climate-wind tunnel of the Rail-Tec-Arsenal in Vienna, Austria, where it simulated the streetcar’s operation in Qatar’s…
Some pollinators not only provide fertilization services for flowering plants, they also lay their eggs on the plants’ leaves after they have visited the…
Limiting warming to any level requires CO2 emissions to be kept to within a certain limit known as a carbon budget. Can reducing shorter-lived climate forcers…
For the first time, the wavelike behaviour of a room-temperature polariton condensate has been demonstrated in the laboratory on a macroscopic length scale….
In the 1960s, NASA launched six satellites to study the Earth's atmosphere, magnetosphere and the space between Earth and the moon. Using observations from…
The fundamental constants that govern the laws of nature are being determined with increasing accuracy, according to a review paper published this week in Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data…
The ChemCam laser instrument on NASA's Curiosity rover has turned its beam onto some unusually light-colored rocks on Mars, and the results are surprisingly…
RapidScat gathered surface wind data on the Typhoon Nangka on July 13 from 01:54 to 3:26 UTC (July 12, 9:54 p.m. to 11:26 p.m. EDT).
“A biological species surviving in that kind of extreme environment is a big deal,” said Vikas Tomar, an associate professor in Purdue University's School of…
An international team of scientists has now developed a new approach for revoking these undesired quenching states. They use an advanced mathematical…
Results published in the journal Molecular Therapy demonstrate that the preserved cells were able to drive visually-guided behaviour, even in later stages of…
Metal oxide layers for semiconductor sensors or solar cells (e.g. tandem solar cells based on Cu2O) are usually produced by sputtering (HF or RF sputtering).
The novel method basically involves the controlled addition of hydrogen gas during the proper sputtering process. Thus, signif-icant improvements concerning the electrical properties of for example charge carrier concentration, charge carrier mobility and sheet resistance are achieved
