In a crystal, atoms are highly ordered, occupying well-defined locations that form spatial patterns. Seven years ago, the 2004 Physics Nobel laureate Frank…
To process information, photons must interact. However, these tiny packets of light want nothing to do with each other, each passing by without altering the…
Galaxies come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and brightnesses, ranging from humdrum ordinary galaxies to luminous active galaxies. While an ordinary galaxy…
The technique involves dissolving organic molecules in water to simulate the state molecules are found in biological tissue. This allows the research team to…
Spintronics is an attractive alternative way of creating low-power electronic devices. It is not based on a charge current but on a current of electron spins….
A research team from Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), RIKEN, and the University of Tokyo developed a novel data analysis method for prior evaluation…
Later during this century, around 2060, a paradigm shift in global energy consumption is expected: we will spend more energy for cooling than for heating….
Researchers experimentally determined a property of cadmium called the magic wavelength which is considered essential for the development of the most accurate…
The Philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer formulated a metaphor called the porcupine dilemma, which explains a certain optimal distance between people. People feel…
If you want to build the most accurate clock in the world, you need something that “ticks” very fast and extremely precise. In an atomic clock, electrons are…
The enormous black hole at the center of our galaxy is having an unusually large meal of interstellar gas and dust, and researchers don't yet understand why.
Astronomers at the Center for Space Exochemistry Data at the University College London in the United Kingdom used data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to…
Beyond superconductors, there are few materials that can fulfill the requirements needed for making ultra-sensitive and fast terahertz (THz) detectors for…
Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University jointly with Russian and international colleagues developed the concept for constructing an “optical vacuum…
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermilab have announced that they achieved the highest magnetic field strength ever recorded for an accelerator…
The photodiode type PPDs obeying photovoltaic effect exhibit external quantum efficiency (EQE) of less than 100%, which limits their applications in weak light…
