During the conversion of light into electricity, such as in solar cells, a large part of the input light energy is lost. This is due to the behaviour of…
When stars collapse, they can create black holes, which are everywhere throughout the universe and therefore important to be studied. Black holes are…
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope photographed comet 46P/Wirtanen on Dec. 13, when the comet was 7.4 million miles (12 million kilometers) from Earth. In this…
At the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN near Geneva, the Large Hadron Collider's second run of collisions and collecting data on particles and…
Through a unique neutron experiment at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, experimental physicists resolved the weak force between the…
A team of international researchers, including experts from the University of Exeter's Physics and Astronomy department, have observed a rare stellar outburst…
The properties of the matter, which surrounds us in our everyday life, are typically the result of complex interactions between electrons. These…

“We estimate that this 'ring rain' drains an amount of water products that could fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool from Saturn's rings in half an hour,” said…
Lack of control of the variables determining the response of a system is usually seen as a curse in science and technology. But what about a slight pinch of…
The smartphone displays raised the question of how round shapes in tempered glass can be separated, both quickly and easily. The question has significantly…
Around the world, researchers are attempting to shrink data storage devices to achieve as large a storage capacity in as small a space as possible. In almost…
Since high school we know that matter appears in three different phases (solid, liquid, gas); yet the microscopic details about the transformation from one…
In fact, most of the known Neptune-sized exoplanets are merely “warm,” because they orbit farther away from their star than those in the region where…
Magnetic field lines tangled like spaghetti in a bowl might be behind the most powerful particle accelerators in the universe. That's the result of a new…
Hitherto unknown structures in belts of dust and gas around young stars are providing new insights into the birth of planets along with compelling fodder for…
