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.
Looking into four-dimensional space with light
Research team develops for the first time a light field that reflects the structure of four-dimensional space. Researchers have developed a method for structuring light in such a way that…
New phonon-based and magneto-tunable monochromatic terahertz source
Terahertz (THz, 1011~1013 Hz) related technology, with its superior spectral performance, has wide application potential in communication, security, sensing fields and so on. Its engineering applications highly depend on a variety of…
Fundamental particles modelled in beam of light
Scientists at the University of Birmingham have succeeded in creating an experimental model of an elusive kind of fundamental particle called a skyrmion in a beam of light. The breakthrough…
New quantum microscope enhances sensitivity avoiding photodamage
As a kid, were you ever curious to know what lice looked like from really close by? Or even a mosquito? To do this you would definitely need to use…
Revolution in imaging with neutrons
FRM II research group develops new processing method for image data. Technology could not only improve the resolution of neutron measurements but could also reduce radiation exposure during x-ray imaging….
Virtual fluid for the description of interfacial effects in metallic materials
Liquids containing ions or polar molecules are ubiquitous in many applications needed for green technologies such as energy storage, electrochemistry or catalysis. When such liquids are brought to an interface…
Glass as stable as crystal
… homogeneity leads to stability. Scientists from The University of Tokyo Institute of Industrial Science used computer simulations to study the aging mechanism that can cause an amorphous glassy material…
Physicists reveal non-reciprocal flow around the quantum world
Physicists from Exeter and Zaragoza have created a theory describing how non-reciprocity can be induced at the quantum level, paving the way for non-reciprocal transport in the next generation of…
NASA’s roman mission will help empower a new era of cosmological discovery
A team of scientists has forecast the scientific impact of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s High Latitude Wide Area Survey on critical questions in cosmology. This observation program will…
New method to detect Tatooine-like planets validated
A new technique developed in part by University of Hawaiʻi astronomer Nader Haghighipour has allowed scientists to quickly detect a transiting planet with two suns. Termed circumbinary planets, these objects…
