Though sophisticated three-dimensional imagery is abundant in computer-generated games and movies, a group of researchers from Disney Research, Zürich,…
This tell-tale signal, called a quasi-periodic oscillation or QPO, is a characteristic feature of the accretion disks that often surround the most compact…
In science fiction novels, evil overlords and hostile aliens often threaten to vaporize the Earth. At the beginning of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the…
Thin sheets with currents separate large plasma regions in space. Scientists at the Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) have now finally measured the…
Scientists from the University of Leeds are using the UK’s national synchrotron to investigate the efficiency of calcium oxide (CaO) based materials as carbon…
Topology is a powerful branch of mathematics that looks at qualitative geometric properties such as the number of holes a geometric shape contains, while…
“Superhydrophobic” surfaces, such as the lotus leaf, are excellent at repelling water and also boast other “smart” self-cleaning, anti-glare, anti-icing, and…
Markevitch and a team of X-ray optics experts at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., have begun investigating the feasibility of fashioning a…
By outrunning a laser’s path of destruction, an international research team has created 3D images of fragile but biologically important molecules inside…
or nearly 20 years, the advantages of using ultrashort laser radiation have been known. Due to fact that the pulsed have been shortened extremely, very high…
The sudden breaking of symmetry plays a fundamental role in physics, in particular for the description of phase transitions that change the whole state of a…
For example, how did icy comets obtain particles that formed at high temperatures, and how did these refractory particles acquire rims with different…
The Inflatable Reentry Vehicle Experiment (IRVE-3) was launched by sounding rocket at 7:01 a.m. Monday from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island,…
Pulsars are superlative cosmic beacons. These compact neutron stars rotate about their axes many times per second, emitting radio waves and gamma radiation…
With details that help enlighten our understanding of the hot nuclear matter that permeated the early universe, the article is a prelude to the latest findings…
Several possible scenarios are possible depending on the properties of dark energy; one is that the Universe will end in a so-called big rip. This interesting…
