Heavy elements are produced during stellar explosion or on the surfaces of neutron stars through the capture of hydrogen nuclei (protons).
The distance between the dots has now become big enough for integration with traditional microelectronics and perhaps, a future quantum computer. The result is…
ExoMars is a space mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) in cooperation with the Russian space agency Roskosmos. ExoMars stands for exobiology on Mars:…
For most people, a vacuum is an empty space. Quantum physics, on the other hand, assumes that even in this lowest-energy state, particles and antiparticles…
“One of the key results of our work is a new and fairly unexpected way of indirectly studying the optical emission from the central regions of active galactic…
Astronomers from Japan, Taiwan and Princeton University have discovered 83 quasars powered by supermassive black holes in the distant universe, from a…
If you've ever been to an air show, or lived near an air force base, you're familiar with sonic booms.
It is not yet identified where and how elements heavier than iron in the universe have been made. Drawing attention as one of the origins of the heavy elements…
Ultrafast lasers with pulse durations in the picosecond and femtosecond range have experienced a major boom over the past few years. Several innovations in…
Recently, scientists have been actively working on miniature light sources or nanolasers. It is required, for example, to produce optical chips that could…
Scientists in the Emergent Photonics Lab (EPic Lab) at the University of Sussex have made a breakthrough to a crucial element of an atomic clock – devices…
More than 100 international representatives from universities, research institutes and industry will partake in the exchange and knowledge transfer at the…
Their system can detect signal strengths far below a billionth of a tesla – about a million times smaller than the Earth’s magnetic field – and can be used to…
Last year, researchers in the US caused a big stir when they showed that rotating two stacked graphene layers by a “magical” angle of 1.1 degrees turns…
SDO sees lunar transits regularly, when the Moon passes in front of its view of the Sun. The Moon's unusual apparent behavior during this particular transit is…
A team of researchers led by the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has developed a simple method that could turn…
