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.
Data storage: Carbon–ferroelectric memory
A fundamental component of a field-effect transistor (FET) is the gate dielectric, which determines the number of charge carriers—electrons or electron…
Photonics: Better optical fiber networks
The household demand for increased internet bandwidth has grown tremendously because of the popularity of data-intensive internet activities such as movie…
'Weird science' uncovered inside neutron star
“If you could put some of this superfluid in a jar it would flow up the walls of the container and over the edge,” said Heinke. Heinke says the core of the…
3-D nanoparticle in atomic resolution
In chemical terms, nanoparticles have different properties from their «big brothers and sisters»: they have a large surface area in relation to their tiny mass…
Finding solid ground
Supersolids and superfluids rank among the most exotic of quantum mechanical phenomena. Superfluids can flow without any viscosity, and experience no friction…
Small Particle Means Big Research for International Physics Project
They're looking at neutrinos, tiny particles with a major influence on physics research.Glenn Horton-Smith, associate professor of physics, is leading the…
