Young stars ejecting plasma could give us clues into the Sun’s past Kyoto, Japan — Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections (CMEs). They often occur together with sudden brightenings called flares, and sometimes extend far enough to disturb Earth’s magnetosphere, generating space weather phenomena including auroras or geomagnetic storms, and even damaging power grids on occasion. Scientists believe that when…
A staple in every science classroom is the periodic table of elements, and for many it is their first introduction to the vast mysteries of the natural world.
When a laser beam is ‘shot’ at a particle (a molecule or a crystal) during SPI, each object produces a diffraction pattern, which helps scientists to…
With funding from the Army Research Office, an element of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory, researchers at The…
New aspect of understanding
Waves, whether they are light waves, sound waves, or any other kind, travel in the same manner in forward and reverse directions–this is known as the…
The work transfers the already superb stability of the cutting-edge laboratory atomic clocks operating at optical frequencies to microwave frequencies, which…
A major advantage of 5G is its high frequencies and consequently its high transmission rate, which ensures an almost latency-free connection and fast data…
Vast numbers of sensors are constantly collecting data from today’s industrial machinery. And there’s a lot that can be learned from these huge data sets. When…
Now, the University of Hawai'i Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) has discovered the first known Jupiter Trojan asteroid to have sprouted a…
The model shows that vibrations, or oscillations, inside the stars can be directly measured from the gravitational-wave signal alone. This is because neutron…
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart invented a tiny microrobot that resembles a white blood cell…
Weaving this story, element by element, from roughly 140 million miles (225 million kilometers) away is a painstaking process. But scientists aren't the type…
Scientists have discovered that the transport of electronic charge in a metallic superconductor containing strontium, ruthenium, and oxygen breaks the…
Wavelike, collective oscillations of electrons known as “plasmons” are very important for determining the optical and electronic properties of metals.
Now a research team – led by Tohoku University Professor, Wataru Yashiro – has developed a new method using intense synchrotron radiation that produces higher…
In designing electronic devices, scientists look for ways to manipulate and control three basic properties of electrons: their charge; their spin states, which…
