At the same time, comet 96P passed through a second NASA mission's view: STEREO — short for Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory — also watched the…
A newly developed experimental set-up allows the X-ray structure determination of biomolecules such as proteins with far smaller samples and shorter exposure…
Traditionally, researchers have sought potential biosignatures as ways of identifying inhabited worlds: byproducts from life as we know it such as oxygen or…
There's nothing new thing under the sun — except maybe light itself.
Physicists at Emory University have shown how a system of lifeless particles can become “life-like” by collectively switching back and forth between…
Researchers at the universities of Münster, Exeter and Oxford have developed a miniature “abacus” which can be used for calculating with light signals. With it…
The results of a research group from the Institute of Physics at the University of Freiburg has been given a special place in the “Nature Photonics” journal:…
But not all magnetospheres are created equal: Venus and Mars do not have magnetospheres at all, while the other planets — and one moon — have ones that are…
Seeking a better way to capture radioactive iodides in spent nuclear reactor fuel, Rutgers-New Brunswick scientists have developed an extremely efficient…
Molecules rotate in the range of picoseconds (10-12 s), their atoms vibrate in the range of femtoseconds (10?15 s), and the electrons move in the range of…
Now a team of scientists led by the University of Southampton has moved a step closer to understanding these mysterious cosmic phenomena – known as…
The search for new and brighter radiation sources is an enduring quest in science and technology [1,2]. While there are many sources across the entire…
Of particular importance for potential applications is the ability to manipulate the acceleration process, known as a swing-by maneuver from space travel, with…
Already in 1842, British mathematician Samuel Earnshaw proved that there is no stable configuration of levitating permanent magnets. If one magnet is levitated…
The research was led by a Trinity College Dublin team comprising PhD candidate in the School of Natural Sciences, Lauren Mc Keown, and Dr Mary Bourke, along…
Though the Webb telescope will focus on stars and galaxies approximately 13.5 billion light-years away, its sight goes through a similar process as you would…
