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…
In our macroscale world, materials called conductors effectively transmit electricity and materials called insulators or dielectrics don't, unless they are…

An important model to explain high-temperature superconductivity is the so-called ‘quantum spin liquid’. Scientists are therefore interested in understanding…
At extremely low temperatures atoms can aggregate into so-called Bose Einstein condensates forming coherent laser-like matter waves. Due to interactions…
We offer a lidocaine/prilocaine combination for the treatment or prevention of solar urticaria. Up to now the lidocaine/prilocaine combination is used for…
