The remarkable tetrahedral structure has now been imaged for the first time with a scanning tunnelling microscope. This high-tech microscope can visualise…
The galaxy (named AGC 203001), is located about 260 million light-years away from us. There is only one other such known system with such a large neutral…
Imagine a world where people could only talk to their next-door neighbor, and messages must be passed house to house to reach far destinations.
Since the experimental production of graphene, two-dimensional materials have been at the heart of materials research. Similar to carbon, a single layer of…
Spintronics is a modern technological field where the “spin” or the angular momentum of electrons takes a primary role in the functioning of electronic…
Laptops and servers would be doomed to heat-death if there were no energy-guzzling and voluminous technology to cool the sensitive circuits. Unwanted, but so…
The inner region of our Milky Way galaxy is characterised by large amounts of warm gas, cosmic-rays and enhanced radio emission. “Astronomers have been…
This image includes newly published observations using an instrument designed and built at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. Called…
The aim of the OPS-SAT mission, which is being controlled from ESA's European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, is to carry out low-risk tests on…

The probability of finding water or other volatiles is highest in the polar regions, as they are frozen within the polar ice. To detect them, the LZH is…
Metals are elements or compounds that conduct electrical current. As the brilliant Russian phys-icist Lev Landau already identified in the 1950s, their…
Are you ready for the future? Back in 1869, Russia's Dmitri Mendeleev began to classify the elements according to their chemical properties, giving rise to the…
The pulsar in question, J0030+0451 (J0030 for short), lies in an isolated region of space 1,100 light-years away in the constellation Pisces. While measuring…
In October 2019, Hubble observed the comet at a distance of approximately 420 million kilometres from Earth. These new observations taken in November and…
At Earth, aurora are commonly seen as colorful displays of light in the night sky near the polar regions, where they are also known as the northern and…
