Airplanes thundering a few dozen meters over the rooftops of residences, roaring ship engines that frighten sea creatures, driving cars that create a basic…
A new paper in the journal Astrobiology suggests NASA and others hunting for proof of Martian biology in the form of “microfossils” could use the element…
“This is a very important event, and we are very happy that the first users have now arrived at European XFEL so we can do a full scale test of the facility”…
Asteroid 300163 (2006 VW139) was discovered by Spacewatch in November 2006 and then the possible cometary activity was seen in November 2011 by Pan-STARRS….
Whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonators are used to make tiny micro-lasers, sensors, switches, routers and other devices. These tiny structures rely on a…
Metabolic processes inside living organisms involve a large variety of bio-molecules. These molecules are produced by specific enzymatic reactions. One example…
Fabricating hybrid semiconductor lasers on materials other than the commonly used silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrates has proved challenging. Now, A*STAR…
Yet, in space, similarly small fluctuations in the solar wind as it streams toward the Earth's magnetic shield actually can affect the speed and strength of…
Quantum theory is the study of physics at the atomic and sub atomic level. It quantises energy and momentum and shows how objects are characterised as both…
The world of nanosensors may be physically small, but the demand is large and growing, with little sign of slowing. As electronic devices get smaller, their…
The microscopic mechanism proposed by the researchers differs significantly from the usual half-metal model based on a strong electron-electron interaction….
When x-rays shine onto solid materials or large molecules, an electron is pushed away from its original place near the nucleus of the atom, leaving a hole…
Controlling the magnetic properties of materials is fundamental for developing memory, computing and communication devices at the nanoscale. As data storage…
Multiferroics are materials that simultaneously react to electric and magnetic fields. These two properties are rarely found together, and their combined…
A lower density likely means that at least part of Mars' crust is relatively porous. At this point, however, the team cannot rule out the possibility of a…
The study, published in Science Advances, builds on the initial discovery in 2009 of water and a related molecule — hydroxyl, which consists of one atom each…
