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…
Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are popping up more and more on rooftops, but they're not necessarily the best solar power solution. “The big limitation of PV…
For the first time, scientists have found convincing evidence for the presence of liquid water in a comet, shattering the current paradigm that comets never…
The international and interdisciplinary team of scientists thus sets a new record in the verification of the quantum properties of nanoparticles. In addition,…
Metamaterials are artificial materials that are engineered to have properties not found in nature. These materials usually gain their unusual properties—such…
In addition to returning from vacation to find their mailboxes often filled to overflowing, people also become annoyed by unwanted advertising in their mail.And mail carriers may have to cover long distances to deliver a single letter if the recipient lives at a remote location, which raises the cost of transporting the letter. These problems can be solved by turning the letters into electronic post that customers can access online….

This metering device is highly flexible because of its ability to process fine powders. It expands the possbilies in rapid prototyping or avoids high precision scaling in food or pharma precesses.
With this experiment the scientists have not only come closer to the realization of a quantum computer but they also show surprising results for the quantum…
Quantum voltage standards are among the successful practical applications of superconductivity, so to mark the anniversary, the National Institute of Standards…
Reported in the journal Nature Physics,** these synthetic electric fields make each atom in a gas act, individually, as if it were a charged particle, but…
The circuit is “nontrivial” because it includes a circuit element—an adjustable barrier that controls the flow of atom current to specific allowed values. The…
As part of the quest to form perfectly smooth single-molecule layers of materials for advanced energy, electronic, and medical devices, researchers at the U.S….
To allow web applications run on four screens, the webinos project consortium creates a full open source code base. The tagerted technology will allow…
The use of fleets of light, unmanned aircraft, makes extensive studies more affordable, even when payloads need to be delivered to extreme altitudes. It also…
