STIX (short for Spectrometer/Telescope for Imaging X-rays) is designed to measure X-ray radiation emitted from the hot corona, the outer solar atmosphere….
Measurement plays a fundamental role in quantum mechanics. At the same time, it also constitutes one of the main problems regarding the interpretation of this…
Innovative thinking could improve the way biological samples are processed and transported from space back to research labs on Earth for future studies. This…
He is the lead author of a recent article in Physics of Fluids, “Ionic Liquid Ferrofluid Interface Deformation and Spray Onset Under Electric and Magnetic…
You won't find ice cubes like this in your freezer.
The material class of topological insulators is presently the focus of international solids research. These materials are electrically insulating within,…
By applying a new computational analysis to a galaxy magnified by a gravitational lens, astronomers have obtained images 10 times sharper than what Hubble…
Counterfeit products are a huge problem – from medicines to car parts, fake technology costs lives.
The motion of a tennis racket in the air can help predict the behavior of quanta. “Using an analogy from classical physics aids us in more efficiently…
In a recent publication, Aalto University researchers show that in a transparent medium each photon is accompanied by an atomic mass density wave. The optical…
The Higgs amplitude mode is a condensed matter cousin of the Higgs boson, the storied quantum particle theorized in the 1960s and proven experimentally in…
“There's a lot of interest in one day sending probes to the lakes, and when that's done, you want to have a safe landing, and you don't want a lot of wind,”…
Current semiconductor logic devices within our computers use the flow and control of electronic charge for information processing. Spintronic memory devices…
Enceladus's plumes are thought to originate in water escaping from a subsurface ocean through cracks in the moon's icy surface. Eventually these plumes feed…
The X-ray laser produces extremely bright and short X-ray flashes that, with the help of specialised experiment stations, allow scientists to gain completely…
The first experiment placed on Diamond's Long Duration Experimental (LDE) facility, on beamline I11, has now been in place for 1,000 days. The experiment, led…
