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…
The extreme pressures and temperatures that can be achieved and controlled with great precision in a laboratory are ideal objects of investigation in physics,…

Friction and drag are commonplace in nature. You experience these phenomena when riding in an airplane, pairing electrical wiring, or rubbing pieces of…
For the first time, researchers at Yale have crossed the “break even” point in preserving a bit of quantum information for longer than the lifetime of its…

Researchers have demonstrated how to control the “electron spin” of a nanodiamond while it is levitated with lasers in a vacuum, an advance that could find…
This innovative solution was mainly developed for the measurement of the residual gas pressure in beam pipes of circular and linear accelerators.
It allows pressure measurements in areas of a recipient that are difficult to access.
The solution enables a simple and cost-efficient monitoring of the position of recipients and the therein located installations. As a contactless procedure, it is applicable during regular operation.
In ophthalmologic surgery, it is often necessary to mark the pathological alterations of vitreoretinal structures on the sclera.
The new depressor-marker allows depressing and marking with only one device, which must not be changed during ophthalmological surgery.
The present invention relates to new polymerisable fluorosurfactants. Commonly used surfactants are affected by phase out regulations or require tedious synthesis.
The present invention relates to a new, effective, price competitive, and environmentally preferable ionic fluorosurfactants for a broad range of applications.
Certain questions in modern cell biology can only be answered by specifically observing the fate of individual cells. For example, researchers are interested…
Scientists at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, have created the first ever hologram of a single light particle. The spectacular experiment,…
The invention presented here is a procedure which can be profitably implemented into a graphics processor to contribute to a noticeable increase of performance.
An electron microscope can't just snap a photo like a mobile phone camera can. The ability of an electron microscope to image a structure – and how successful…
