“This planet is a complete mystery,” says astronomer David Latham of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA). “We don't know how it formed or how…
They have set up the experiment to identify the nature of dark matter, an invisible substance that physicists believe is all around us, making up most of the…
Human eyes, primarily sensitive to shorter wavelength visible light, are unable to detect or differentiate between the longer-wavelength thermal IR…
Mixing strategies are even more critical for industrial products, where every batch that is manufactured must meet the same exacting standards and yet, to…
Now a team of scientists around Prof. Immanuel Bloch (Chair for Experimental Physics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich and Director at MPQ) in…
To process and save data more and more quickly, to build even smaller and more powerful chips: these are the goals pursued by numerous research teams around…
The pigment, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc), which is similar to the light harvesting section of the chlorophyll molecule, is a low-cost organic semiconductor…
Making the light at the end of the tunnel more efficientDramatic advances in the field of quantum dot light emitting diodes (QD-LEDs) could come from recent…
The new test system will enable the simultaneous study of one hundred light quanta (photons) and their complex quantum mechanical relationships (“quantum…
How large does a group of particles have to be to render moot its exact number of particles? In experiments using ultracold atoms, Heidelberg physicists…
More efficient methods for manipulating quantum systems could help scientists realize the next generation of technology by harnessing atoms and molecules to…
Planets are formed in disks of gas and dust around nascent stars. Now, combined observations with the compound telescope ALMA and the Herschel Space…
Researchers in electrical and computer engineering at UC Santa Barbara have introduced and modeled an integrated circuit design scheme in which transistors and…
Researchers modeling how changes in air flow patterns affect wind turbines' output power have found that the wind can supply energy from an unexpected…
This concept, esoteric as it appears, is also neat because it is the basis for creating ultrastable quantum “playgrounds.” In topological systems, certain…
A newly published paper by three UC San Diego astrophysics researchers for the first time provides an explanation for the origin of three observed correlations…
