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…
FEFU scientists, together with colleagues from the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and foreign experts, designed a resonant lattice laser…
It happens in every office on any given day: As soon as a worker takes a mug from a cupboard, it becomes his or hers for the rest of the shift. While her…
At the end of December 2019, the first cases of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus were reported from the Chinese city of Wuhan. Since then, infections…
In a study published in Nature Communications, the team stored a variety of image files — a Picasso drawing, an image of the Egyptian god Anubis and others –…
Like humans, stars change with age and ultimately die. For the Sun and stars like it, this change will take it through a phase where, having burned all the…
A wide range of problems in modern science are solved through quantum mechanical calculations. Some of the examples are research into chemical reactions and…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) in Stuttgart developed a bullet-shaped, synthetic miniature robot with a diameter of…
In their experiments, the scientists around Professor Dr Artur Widera, who researches quantum systems, observe individual caesium atoms in a rubidium gas that…
As seen in the movie, Black Panther, people from Wakanda Kingdom communicate to each other through the hologram and, this specific movie scene seems to become…
To understand the properties of materials, it is often vital to observe their structure at an atomic resolution. Visualizing atoms using a transmission…
In 1999, a unique binary system was discovered with the Australian Parkes Radio Telescope in the constellation Musca (the Fly), close to the famous Southern…
The journal Physical Review Fluids published the results of the study by physicists at Emory University. The findings could potentially lead to improving…
Highly charged ions are—although seemingly exotic—a very natural form of visible matter. All the matter in our sun and in all other stars is highly ionized,…
Such “coupled” quantum dots could serve as a robust quantum bit, or qubit, the fundamental unit of information for a quantum computer. Moreover, the patterns…
“We never expected these atomically thin materials could influence the ordering of all of the atoms in such a relatively large slab of gold,” said Jeremy…
To address some of the issues, University of Illinois researchers focused on one component of the tire–the shear layer, which is just beneath the tread.
