Exploring the Superconducting Transition in Ultra Thin Films
Like atomic-level bricklayers, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are using a precise atom-by-atom layering…
NASA'S Chandra Finds New Evidence on Origin of Supernovas
The new study examined the remnant of a supernova observed by the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe in 1572. The object, dubbed Tycho for short, was formed by a…
The AMS detector heads for the International Space Station
In laboratories like CERN*, physicists observe matter and antimatter behaving in an almost identical way. Each matter particle has an equivalent antiparticle,…
Diamonds shine in quantum networks
When it comes to dreaming about diamonds, energy efficiency and powerful information processing aren't normally the thoughts that spring to mind. Unless, of…
