Rare earths are metals found in rare earth minerals. They are used today in, among other things, automotive catalytic converters and batteries, in the…
Lasers became popular with movies like „Star Wars“ or „James Bond“. In reality, lasers are incredibly versatile applicable tools. Physicists of the University…
New research from Curtin University, obtained using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope located in the Western Australian outback, suggests the…
“It's called an entanglement area law,” says Adrian Del Maestro, a physicist at the University of Vermont who co-led the research. That this law appears at…
That's the theory put forth by Purdue University scientists, whose findings were published in the journal Nature Geoscience. David Minton, assistant professor…
“We discovered brightness changes in X-rays that occurred about a month after similar changes were observed in visible and UV light,” said Dheeraj Pasham, an…
Imagine a spiral galaxy as a circular frisbee spinning gently in space. When we see it face on, our observations reveal a spectacular amount of detail and…
Fresh insights into living cells, brighter video projectors and more accurate medical tests are just three of the innovations that could result from a new way…
While the ability to easily control the magnetic properties of small electronic systems is highly desirable for future small electronics and data storage, an…
In the search for rogue planets and failed stars astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have created a new mosaic image of the Orion Nebula….
The quantum nature of light does usually not play an important role when considering the chemical properties of atoms or moelcules. In an article published in…
Oxygen atoms are highly reactive, yet the world does not spontaneously burn, even though everything is surrounded by this aggressive element. Why? The reason…
Observations in the past decade have demonstrated that extremely massive supermassive black holes were already in place when the Universe was less than 800…
Researchers in Italy hope to measure Earth's rotation using a laser-based gyroscope housed deep underground, with enough experimental precision to reveal…
What happens when the lights are turned out in the enormous clean room that currently houses NASA's James Webb Space Telescope?
