In a paper published in the March 29 issue of the journal Nature, the scientists describe the emergence of “spontaneous coherence,” “spin textures” and “phase…
Some people like company. Others prefer to be alone. The same holds true for the particles that constitute the matter around us: Some, called bosons, like to…
When stars and their orbiting plants wander too close to the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, their encounter with the black hole's…

An international team that includes University of British Columbia physicists has used ultra-fast laser pulses to identify the microscopic interactions that…
Shirley M. Tilghman, the President of Princeton University, and Peter Gruss, President of the Max Planck Society, signed the agreement for the establishment of…
By aiming high- and low-frequency laser beams at a semiconductor, the researchers caused electrons to be ripped from their cores, accelerated, and then smashed…
Active optical fibers with silicon photonic chips can carry a lot more information for data interconnect than copper cables. Silicon photonics can also be the…
Scientists created the colour picture by combining infrared light images from telescopes in the northern and southern hemispheres. Large structures of the…
Scientists working at the Institut Laue-Langevin, one of the world's leading centres for neutron science, have carried out the first investigation of…
But one of the major limitations of these technologies is their inability to detect the presence of only a few cancer cells. Now, a research collaboration…
In the context of cancer, cooperator cells obey the general rules of communal survival, while cheater cells do not. The ultimate goal of this research was to…
A recent announcement (eso1204 – http://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1204/), showing that planets are ubiquitous in our galaxy used a different method that was…
To better understand the role complex tumor-host interactions play in tumor growth, Princeton University researchers developed a cellular automation model for…
The team has developed a promising new technique for creating graphene patterns on top of silicon carbide (SiC). SiC comprises both silicon and carbon, but at…
Transistors are the building blocks of the electronic devices that power the digital world, and much of the growth in computing power over the past 40 years…
