University of Chicago astrophysicist Angela Olinto is helping to unravel that stubborn riddle by leading the United States collaboration on an international…
For the first time, physicists have demonstrated that information can flow through a diamond wire.
These could be used for future circuits based on light (photons) instead of electron – that is photonics instead of electronics. But it has proved to be…
Research into a recently discovered class of materials shows they have the necessary characteristics to develop ultra-energy efficient electronics. Topological…
Charlie joined the conversation a few years ago, but now by enforcing the space-like separation of the three parties, scientists have demonstrated full quantum…
The new composite picture (viewable at http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/glimpse360), using infrared images gathered over the last decade, was unveiled today…
University of Oregon physicists using a supercomputer and mathematically rich formulas have captured fundamental insights about what happens when objects…
The theory explains the transition phase to superconductivity, or “pseudogap” phase, which is one of the last obstacles to developing the next generation of…
Fusion is widely considered the ultimate goal of nuclear energy. While fission leaves behind radioactive waste that must be stored safely, fusion generates…
University of Utah electrical engineers fabricated the smallest plasma transistors that can withstand high temperatures and ionizing radiation found in a…
NASA's twin Van Allen Probes spacecraft have shown that high-energy electrons in the inner radiation belt display a persistent pattern that resembles slanted…
Earth dodged a huge magnetic bullet from the sun on July 23, 2012.
Web viewers can zoom in and out, and pan around an area. Constructed from 10,581 pictures, the mosaic provides enough detail to see textures and subtle shading…
A team of U.S. cosmologists using the BICEP2 telescope at the South Pole announced this week that they have discovered the first direct evidence of the rapid…
Point defects, for example missing atoms (so called vacancies) significantly influence the performance and durability of modern materials. Even smallest defect…
NGC 2174 lies about 6400 light-years away in the constellation of Orion (The Hunter). Hubble previously viewed this part of the sky back in 2001, creating a…
