Physics and Astronomy

This area deals with the fundamental laws and building blocks of nature and how they interact, the properties and the behavior of matter, and research into space and time and their structures.

innovations-report provides in-depth reports and articles on subjects such as astrophysics, laser technologies, nuclear, quantum, particle and solid-state physics, nanotechnologies, planetary research and findings (Mars, Venus) and developments related to the Hubble Telescope.

Trapping a rainbow: Lehigh researchers slow broadband light waves with nanoplasmonic structures

The idea that a rainbow of broadband light could be slowed down or stopped using plasmonic structures has only recently been predicted in theoretical studies…

Snapshots of laser driven electrons

Flocking behavior does not only exist among birds, insects or fish; the microcosm offers similar phenomena, too. A team of scientists including Ferenc Krausz…

A small quantum leap

Northwestern University researchers have developed a new switching device that takes quantum communication to a new level. The device is a practical step…

Half-time for the Mars500 mission

The Mars500 mission – a simulated mission to the red planet in which researchers from the Mainz University Medical Center in Germany are involved – has reached…

Physicists measure current-induced torque in nonvolatile magnetic memory devices

Using a very fast oscilloscope, researchers led by Dan Ralph, the Horace White Professor of Physics, and Robert Buhrman, the J.E. Sweet Professor of Applied…

Baby stars born to ‘napping’ parents

It has long been suspected that the build up of material onto young stars is not continuous but happens in episodic events, resulting in short outbursts of…
