As the saying goes, nothing lasts forever. The laws of physics confirm this: on our planet, all processes increase entropy, thus molecular disorder. For…
It is the small details that determine a material’s properties:
UTokyo researchers have created an electronic component that demonstrates functions and abilities important to future generations of computational logic and…
Saturn's rings are made up of ice particles whose orbital velocity increases the closer they are to the planet. The Cassini Division is a wide, dark band…
The polarization of waves describes their direction of oscillation, for light as an electromagnetic wave this is the direction of the electric field vector….
For scientists, meteorites are valuable witnesses of our early Solar System. They consist of the oldest building blocks of our planetary system but also…
Short lived isotopes of both radon and radium have both been identified as potential candidates for measuring EDM in atoms.
They applied a layer of graphene to gallium nitride, a commonly used semiconductor. The graphene is made of a single layer of atoms, while the gallium nitride…
The three classic physical states – solid, liquid and gaseous – can be observed in any normal kitchen, for example when you bring an ice cube to the boil. But…
University of Michigan researchers believe they have the answer, and hope to prove it with help from NASA's Parker Solar Probe.
In a paper published in Physical Review Applied, Andrew Jordan, professor of physics at the University of Rochester, and his graduate student Sreenath…
We ubiquitously stream videos, we download audiobooks to mobile devices, and we store huge numbers of photos on our devices. In short, the storage capacity we…
Low temperatures are essential for basic research in the field of quantum physics. More and more technologies based on quantum mechanics are now also making…
A consortium of scientists from the Medical Imaging Center (University Medical Center Groningen), Van 't Hoff Institute for Molecular Sciences (University of…
Police forces encounter a suspicious room during a house search – a room that could be anything: a drug or explosive laboratory or just a fake. In order to…
The use of strong electromagnetic radiation to push materials out of their normal equilibrium is a new frontier in this field. Such manipulation leads to the…
