The researchers found that applying a strong magnetic field to these ultracold atoms caused them to line up in an alternating pattern and lean away from each…
Now, as reported in a paper published in Applied Physics Letters, researchers at the University of Rochester have “made the impossible, possible,” says Zhang,…
The generation of high-order harmonics in gases is nowadays routinely used in many different areas of sciences, ranging from physics, to chemistry and biology….
Rochester Institute of Technology researchers helped pinpoint the precise location of a gravitational wave signal — and the black hole merger that produced it…
Planets grow by a process of accretion – a gradual accumulation of additional material – in which they collisionally combine with their neighbours.
Intriguingly, the crux of this question may be hiding in an exotic quantum phenomenon which shows up in metals as a response to twists of space-time geometry.
The Radiometer Assessment using Vertically Aligned Nanotubes, or RAVAN, CubeSat was developed to test and validate light-absorbing carbon nanotubes as a new…
The observation of gravitational waves is gradually becoming routine. Once again, researchers have recorded the ripples of space-time predicted by Albert…
Quantum dots are one of the most prominent and promising candidates as non-classical light sources applied in quantum information technology. They have been…
Graphene is up to the job
In conventional electronics, a great deal of effort is devoted to eliminating stochastic resonance (SR) — the annoying hiss that generally hinders the…
Black holes appear to play a fundamental role in how galaxies evolve throughout their life during a phase in which they are active and consume material from…
Rice University scientists have discovered a two-dimensional alloy with an optical bandgap that can be tuned by the temperature used to grow it.
At 12:52 p.m. EDT on Sept. 22, the OSIRIS-REx (Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, and Security – Regolith Explorer) spacecraft came…
The question has now been settled by studying 30 000 cosmic-ray particles with energies a million times greater than those of the protons accelerated in the…
If a transparent dielectric material like water or glass is illuminated by visible or infrared light it is transmitted without loss. This quickly changes if…
