A new study now suggests that the branching structure of the former river networks on Mars has striking similarities with terrestrial arid landscapes. This has…
Modern storage technology with ever-smaller and more powerful hard drives cannot function without them: the effects of so-called magnetoresistance ensure that…
The transfer of heat is fundamental to all materials. This new research, published in the journal Science, explored thermal insulators, which are materials…
It is crucial that we prevent the Earth from warming by more than two degrees Celsius compared with the pre-industrial era. This is a key aim of the 2015 Paris…
Who would not want to have a light saber? While the idea from science fiction has sparked our imagination, technical realization of this fantasy is elusive,…
In 2014, astrophysicists discovered a spectral line in observational data from the Herschel Space Telescope and tentatively assigned it to the amide ion. It…
`Oumuamua, the first interstellar object discovered in the Solar System, is moving away from the Sun faster than expected. This anomalous behaviour was…
A system's state is characterised as entangled or quantum correlated if two or more particles cannot be described as a combination of separate, independent…
Nuclei of heavy elements can be produced at minute quantities of a few atoms per second in fusion reactions using powerful particle accelerators. The obtained…
Using one of the fastest supercomputers in the world, the scientists have simulated the matter distribution of the so-called satellite “dwarf” galaxies. These…
How large is a neutron star? Previous estimates varied from eight to sixteen kilometres. Astrophysicists at the Goethe University Frankfurt and the FIAS have…
For 40 years, it has been known that lasers utilizing time-delayed feedback of the original signal can cause chaotic intensity fluctuations (top of figure,…
Jupiter's iconic storm is on the Webb telescope's list of targets chosen by guaranteed time observers, scientists who helped develop the incredibly complex…
Accumulations of gas and dust in space can be observed with telescopes as interstellar clouds. Despite the low temperatures and densities, a rich variety of…
You do not have to touch a hot stove to feel its heat. If it is hot enough, you can see it glow. But, even at lower temperature it still emits light – although…
Each proton and each neutron is composed of several quarks bound by strong interactions carried by intermediary particles called gluons. When heavy ions built…
