Monash researchers are part of an international collaboration applying 'twistronics' concepts (the science of layering and twisting 2D materials to control…
Miniaturization has pushed technology to a new era of optical circuitry. But, in parallel, it has also triggered new challenges and obstacles to overcome, for…
A research team led by scientists at the Advanced Science Research Center at The Graduate Center, CUNY (CUNY ASRC), in collaboration with National University…
Computational catalysis, a field that simulates and accelerates the discovery of catalysts for chemicals production, has largely been limited to simulations of…
Young exoplanets live in a high-stakes environment: their sun produces a large amount of energetic X-ray radiation, typically one thousand to ten thousand…
A test of the universality of free fall
A new research paper co-authored by a Virginia Tech assistant professor of physics provides a new explanation for two recent strange events that occurred in…
For more than 200 years, we have been using X-rays to look inside matter, and progressing to ever smaller structures – from crystals to nanoparticles. Now,…
Now, scientists have devised a new way to study the inner workings of astrophysical shock waves by creating a scaled-down version of the shock in the lab. They…
“These are major technical accomplishments and may prove useful in advancing energy and information technologies,” said ORNL's Ho Nyung Lee, who led the study…
There are two explanations for the origins of life's building molecules: extraterrestrial delivery, such as via meteorites; and endogenous formation. The…
Maximizing the sensitivity of measurement tools is crucial for any field of science and technology. Astronomers seek to detect remote cosmic phenomena,…
When it fires, a neuron consumes significantly more energy than an equivalent computer operation. And yet, a network of coupled neurons can continuously learn,…
Scientists have long tried to experimentally demonstrate a certain symmetry property of the weak interaction – parity violation – in molecules. So far, this…
An analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies has revealed unexpected links between spin directions of galaxies, and the structure formed by these links…
Quasiperiodic structures, which are ordered but are not strictly periodic, are the source of extraordinary beauty in nature, art, and science. For physicists,…
