New research by astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) examines a number of scenarios and finds that most of them have low…
Research at TU Eindhoven, KU Leuven and the University of Liege has shown how a motorcyclist riding right behind a racing cyclist can reduce the air resistance…
Microlasers are tiny optical devices a few tens of micrometres in diameter that are able to create intense light with only one colour or wavelength. OIST…
Since lasers were invented more than 50 years ago, they have transformed a diverse swath of technology — from CD players to surgical instruments.
Researchers in the group led by the Georg-H. Endress Professor Patrick Maletinsky have been conducting research into so-called nitrogen-vacancy centers (NV…
Quantum physics is more than 100 years old, but even today is still sometimes met with wonderment. This applies, for example, to entanglement, a quantum…
Cavitation – the formation, growth and subsequent collapse of microbubbles – produces high, localized energy which can be used in chemical processes for…
Scientists from all over the world are working on concepts for future quantum computers and their experimental realization. Commonly, a typical quantum…
In the microscopic world, where the modern miniaturized machines at the new frontiers of technology operate, as long as we are in the presence of two…
“Neutrinos are the fastest, lightest, most unsociable and least understood fundamental particles, and we are just now capable of detecting high-energy ones…
The researchers, from the University of Cambridge, used data from the European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton space observatory to reveal for the first time…
Nearly 10 billion years ago in a galaxy known as PKS B1424-418, a dramatic explosion occurred. Light from this blast began arriving at Earth in 2012. Now, an…
After a ten-year design and construction period, a new universal device for astronomical observation at the world’s largest single telescope, the Large…
Everyday objects possess properties independently of each other and regardless of whether we observe them or not. Einstein famously asked whether the moon…
Twenty six years ago, on 24 April 1990, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was launched into orbit aboard the space shuttle Discovery as the first space…
A team of researchers from across the country, led by Alexander Spott, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, have built the first quantum cascade laser…
