This tiered “wedding cake,” which appears in images that show the energy level structure of the electrons, experimentally confirms how electrons interact in a…
Research on insulators with topologically protected surface conductivity – in short: topological insulators – is currently in vogue. Topological materials may…
As a representative II-VI semiconductor, CdS is a promising material for visible-UV light detection. However, for pure NWs/NBs based photodetectors, fast…
Researchers recently discovered that the strength of the magnetic field required to elicit a particular quantum mechanical process, such as photoluminescence…
GE is testing a tube filled with plasma — the charged state of matter composed of free electrons and ions that PPPL studies to understand fusion energy and a…
At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), physicist Professor Thomas Schimmel and his team have developed a single-atom transistor, the smallest transistor…
A team of astronomers led by George Becker at the University of California, Riverside, has made a surprising discovery: 12.5 billion years ago, the most opaque…
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles present new research on a curious cosmic phenomenon known as “whistlers” — very low frequency packets…
“We have discovered a supermassive black hole in the center of Fornax UCD3. The black hole mass is 3.5 million that of the Sun, similar to the central black…
From everyday experience we know that metals are good conductors for both electricity and heat — think inductive cooking or electronic devices warming up upon…
The mission to “touch the Sun” is 60 years in the making and will bring a spacecraft carrying a suite of instruments the closest ever before to the Sun with…
A team of researchers led by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville conducted the measurement in a beam test facility at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge…
However, a new study just published by a research team that includes Arizona State University astrophysicist Michael Line, an assistant professor in ASU's…
These 2-D materials can be prepared in crystalline sheets as thin as a single monolayer, only one or a few atoms thick. Within a monolayer, electrons are…
Heat shields are essentially used as the brakes to stop spacecraft burning up and crashing on entry and re-entry into a planet's atmosphere. This design is the…
What happens when really powerful magnets–capable of producing magnetic fields nearly two million times stronger than Earth's–are applied to materials that…
