Topological insulators are materials with very special properties. They conduct electricity or light particles on their surface or edges only but not on the…
A class exercise at MIT, aided by industry researchers, has led to an innovative solution to one of the longstanding challenges facing the development of…
One of the most enduring “Holy Grail” experiments in science has been attempts to directly observe atomic motions during structural changes. This prospect…
A bacterium named Moorella thermoacetica won't work for free. But UC Berkeley researchers have figured out it has an appetite for gold. And in exchange for…
Dye-sensitized solar cells have been considered a sustainable alternative to conventional solar cells for many years, even if their energy yield is not yet…
Optical frequency combs can enable ultrafast processes in physics, biology, and chemistry, as well as improve communication and navigation, medical testing,…
Is there a second Earth out there in space? Our knowledge of planetary systems far, far away is increasing constantly, as new technologies continue to sharpen…
In order to study the early Universe astronomers, have different methods at their disposal: One is to look to very large distances and therefore back in time,…
Since the Moon is tidally locked to the Earth — it always has the same side facing the Earth — the Earth will never appear to rise above the surface to…
Back in the 1970s, fluctuations in the size of atomic nuclei were observed during measurements of the optical spectra of electrons in the atomic shells of…
A year ago, the Cassini spacecraft burned up in the atmosphere of the planet Saturn – a spectacular end to one of the most successful missions in space…
The first-ever detection of highly energetic radiation from a microquasar has astrophysicists scrambling for new theories to explain the extreme particle…
Their findings appear in the Oct. 4, 2018, issue of Nature. Among the coauthors are Petra Huentemeyer, a professor of physics; Henrike Fleischhack, a…
