Ultra-low radiation cables reduce background noise for neutrino and dark matter detectors. Imagine trying to tune a radio to a single station but instead encountering static noise and interfering signals…

Visualizing electron flow motivates new devices inspired by airplane wings. A study showing how electrons flow around sharp bends, such as those found in integrated circuits, has the potential to…

New finding might explain why quasars flare and fade so quickly. A new Northwestern University-led study is changing the way astrophysicists understand the eating habits of supermassive black holes. While…

Researchers identify the first enzymatic step in the biosynthesis of these plant steroids important in the medical treatment of heart disease. Plants produce an impressive array of metabolites, including many…

– charting the sizes and abundance of our body’s cells reveals mathematical order underlying life. An international team of scientists has created the first comprehensive index of human cells, mapping…

Researchers at IOCB Prague are the first to describe the causes of the behavior of one of the fundamental aromatic molecules, which fascinates the scientific world not only with its…

Two-dimensional materials like graphene show fascinating properties such as superconductivity, extraordinary strength and exotic quantum phenomena. Scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich, together with partners from the Indian Institute of Technology in…

Embedded with organic crystals, hybrid membranes use “smart separation” approach that is more effective and environmentally sustainable. A team of NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) researchers has developed a new kind…

Paper published in ‘Nature Communications’ details how applying magnetic forces to individual ‘microroller’ particles spurs collective motion—with counterintuitive results. Engineering researchers at Lehigh University have discovered that sand can actually…

A new generation of cloud services is on the rise. It is based on the paradigm of “serverless computing”, which is an active research topic at the Institute for Computer…

The physical laws of everyday water flow were established two centuries ago. However, scientists today struggle to simulate disrupted water flow virtually, e.g., when a hand or object alters its…

Microcombs can help us discover planets outside our solar system and track new diseases in our bodies. But current microcombs are inefficient and unable to reach their full potential. Now,…
