Quantum computing promises to revolutionize the ways in which scientists can process and manipulate information. The physical and material underpinnings for…
In our everyday lives, we are familiar with matter existing in three different states: solid, liquid, or gas. However, if matter is cooled down to extremely…
Energy consumption is growing across the globe; electric power is being relied upon more and more, and sustainable energy supplies such as wind and solar power…
Pulsars are fast-spinning neutron stars that concentrate 40% more mass than the Sun – or more! – into a small sphere of only about 20 km diameter. They have…
While the Standard Model of Particle Physics has remained mostly unchanged since its initial conception, experimental observations for neutrinos have forced…
Light-emitting diodes made of indium gallium nitride provide better luminescence efficiency than many of the other materials used to create blue and green…
Computer chips are getting increasingly smaller. That's not new: Gordon Moore, one of the founders of chip manufacturer Intel, already predicted it in 1965….
A research team at Fritz-Haber Institute in Berlin, headed by Dr. Takashi Kumagai, demonstrated tip-enhanced “resonance” Raman spectroscopy.
Ever since the earliest theoretical predictions 20 years ago, the chemical elements potassium and sodium were expected to be detectable in atmospheres of “hot…
An explosion is a complex event involving quickly changing temperatures, pressures and chemical concentrations. In a paper in the Journal of Applied Physics,…
Prospective digital data storage devices predominantly rely on novel fundamental magnetic phenomena. The better we understand these phenomena, the better and…
They make our cars more environmentally friendly and they are indispensable for the chemical industry: catalysts make certain chemical reactions possible -…
Atoms have a positively charged center surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged particles. This type of arrangement, it turns out, can also occur at a more…
Known as structured diffuse aurora, it was recently discovered, with the help of NASA spacecraft and instruments, that these faint lights in the night sky can…
A new study by McGill University astronomers has found that the temperature on the nightsides of different hot Jupiters– planets that are similar size in to…
Due to modern advances in medicine ever smaller objects are moved through the human body: nanotherapeutics, micro-implants, mini-catheters and tiny medical…
