An optical switch developed at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) spurs the prospective integration of photonics and electronics. What, isn't electronics good…
NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer, a space-based observatory, and the Pan-STARRS1 telescope on the summit of Haleakala in Hawaii were among the first to help…
The discovery, made by astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, provides new insight into the nature of a mysterious class of black holes that can…
The size determines color, but all the pyramid-shaped quantum dots are made the same way of the same elements. In experiments, light amplification required…
(Joint press release of Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, PTB, and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics)Optical atomic clocks measure time with…
In particle physics, the baryon family refers to particles that are made up of three quarks. Quarks form a group of six particles that differ in their masses…
Molecular motors are the key to the development of higher forms of life. They transport proteins, signal molecules and even entire chromosomes down long…
A new study this week finds that “quantum critical points” in exotic electronic materials can act much like polarizing “hot button issues” in an election….
However the most important raw ingredient in this chemical factory – methane gas, a molecule made up of one carbon atom joined to four hydrogen atoms – should…
Cloaking devices that hide planes from RADAR, microscopes that can see inside a single cell, and miniature antennae that measure only a few millimeters all…
The computational technique could provide faster, less expensive and higher resolution tissue imaging to a broader population of users. The group describes its…
The signing of an agreement between The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) has brought together top-notch…
An in-depth analysis by scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) zeroed in on tiny, bubble-like islands that…
A Washington State University astrobiologist is leading a group of 20 scientists in calling for a mission to Mars with “a strong and comprehensive life…
The technique takes advantage of the unique properties of atoms that have one or more electrons excited to a condition of near-ionization known as the Rydberg…
The spacecraft rolls over, and you glimpse a sliver of intense light starting to climb over the rough horizon. It might be dawn, except that the bright sliver…
