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…
Contrary to previous assumptions, the new results show that the process known as the ‘proximity effect’ varies considerably at a nanometre scale. The results…
'Entanglement' describes a very particular type of quantum state which is not attributed to a single particle alone, but which is shared between two different…
An international team of researchers from ITMO University, the Australian National University, and Korea University have experimentally trapped an…
Even though there is a strong market need in bringing such functionalities to the consumer market, this would require a technology that is low-cost, CMOS…
The recent advance in acoustic metamaterial/metasurface brings forward perfect absorbers (resonators) that possess ultra-thin thickness but relatively narrow…
“These objects look like gas and behave like stars,” said co-author Andrea Ghez, UCLA's Lauren B. Leichtman and Arthur E. Levine Professor of Astrophysics and…
Open and close an electrical circuit as fast as possible in order to perform operation on a sequence of bits
“Our laser diode emits the world's shortest lasing wavelength, at 271.8 nanometers (nm), under pulsed [electric] current injection at room temperature,” says…
Specially designed vacuum suction units allow humans to climb walls. Scientists have developed a suction unit that can be used on rough surfaces, no matter how…
At the size of smaller objects (1/100 – 1/1000 meter), Italians use pasta shapes with a rough surface, e.g. rigatoni, to make better adhesive surfaces for the…
The high frequency characteristics of high eElectron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have been steadily improved in the past years. The transistors have become…
