The precise position measurements clear up a mystery about the observed productivity of these objects. They also show that previous studies of these objects…
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and other labs have demonstrated a process whereby quantum dots can…
Quantum computers promise to perform certain types of operations much more quickly than conventional digital computers. But many challenges must be addressed…
In everyday life it is only natural that the properties of objects exist independent of being observed or not. The quantum world on the other hand is ruled by…
Made from an unknown ice, this type of cloud has long hung over Titan's north pole, where it is now fading, according to observations made by the Composite…
In 1971, the former Soviet Union launched the Mars 2 and Mars 3 missions to Mars. Each consisted of an orbiter plus a lander. Both orbiter missions were…
CMEs can affect electronic systems in satellites and on the ground. Experimental NASA research models show that the CME began at 3:36 a.m. EDT on April 11,…
As demand for computing and communication capacity surges, the global communication infrastructure struggles to keep pace, since the light signals transmitted…
Take a small, thin silicon disk and deposit tin atoms on its surface in a regular pattern. Although both starting materials do not possess any magnetic…
Single-photon emitters release one particle of light, or photon, at a time, as opposed to devices like lasers that release a stream of them. Single-photon…
“The composition of the star, its environment, and the mechanism of the explosion may vary considerably among type Ia supernovae,” said Sangwook Park, an…
A new study of how carbon is trapped and released by iron-rich volcanic magma offers clues about the early atmospheric evolution on Mars and other terrestrial…
Under a partnership between a team of UC San Diego physicists and the Open Science Grid (OSG), a multi-disciplinary research partnership funded by the U.S….
Now, armed with more sophisticated data from a satellite mission observing the cosmic microwave background – a faint glow in the universe that acts as sort of…
On the one side, there are tiny fragments of diamond. Besides carbon diamond contains other atoms as natural impurities. These impurity atoms or so-called…
Modern astronomers are also interested in studying the SMC (and its cousin, the Large Magellanic Cloud), but for very different reasons. Because the SMC is so…
