For centuries, humans have been expanding their understanding of the world through more and more precise measurement of light and matter. Today, quantum…
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most enigmatic and powerful events in the cosmos. Around 80 of these events–intensely bright millisecond-long bursts of…
The planet, Gliese 3470 b (also known as GJ 3470 b), may be a cross between Earth and Neptune, with a large rocky core buried under a deep crushing hydrogen…
The processes behind the release and consumption of methane on Mars have been discussed since methane was measured for the first time for approx. 15 years ago….
From time to time, there have been long periods of cooling in Earth's history. Temperatures had already fallen for more than ten million years before the last…
In a paper released today in Science Advances, UNSW researchers describe the first observation of a native ferroelectric metal.
The 'Vegebot', developed by a team at the University of Cambridge, was initially trained to recognise and harvest iceberg lettuce in a lab setting. It has now…
The possibility of finding a compound that was metallically conductive, super-hard, and ultra-incompressible was long considered unlikely in science. It was…
Solar cells are currently the world's most talked-about renewable energy source, and for any future sustainable energy system, it is crucial to know about the…
Then he backed up and clarified all that. After all, the quantum world of matter and energy at terahertz and nanometer scales – trillions of cycles per second…
“In the future energy system, electricity will be provided not by a small number of conventional power plants but by many wind and solar power plants with…
Mechanical oscillators are typical in these systems. In the nanoscale, the challenge is to synchronize these. In these lines, an article published in the…
However, in recent years, various modes of “non-apoptotic” programmed cell death such as pyroptosis*2 and necroptosis have been defined based on the molecular…
Sensing each other through chemistry
In electronic devices based on organic semiconductors such as solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photodetectors or transistors, electronic excitations and…
Flexible solar cell with unprecedented efficiency: The Empa Laboratory for Thin Films and Photovoltaics, headed by Ayodhya N. Tiwari, has broken its own…
