Students in University of Delaware Prof. Judi Provencal’s Observational Astronomy class (PHYS 469) photographed the exploding star last week using the…
A controlled stream of abrasive slurry plays constantly on the surface being polished and the computer controlled polishing bonnet, forming a halo as it is…
Building electronic devices that work without needing to actually transport electrons is a goal of spintronics researchers, since this could lead to: reduced…
Led by physics professor Brian DeMarco, the researchers achieved complete localization of quantum matter waves in three dimensions, first theorized roughly…
Pocar, Cadonati and colleagues report in the current issue of Physical Review Letters that the Borexino instrument has now measured with high precision the…
The pulsed gamma rays had energies between 100 and 400 billion electronvolts (Gigaelectronvolts, or GeV), far higher than 25 GeV, the highest energy radiation…
Demonstrating the remarkable properties of graphene won the two scientists the Nobel Prize for Physics last year and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne…
Finding these hidden gems in the Hubble archive gives astronomers an invaluable time machine for comparing much earlier planet orbital motion data to more…
The VERITAS experiment measured gamma rays coming from the Crab Pulsar at such large energies that they cannot be explained by current scientific models of how…
The team's findings are published in the Oct. 7 issue of the journal Science. “This is the first time very-high-energy gamma rays have been detected from a…
As reported this week in Nature Communications, the researchers used the atomically-sharp tip of a scanning tunneling microscope to move 1-nanometer sized…
Few people have ever claimed to see three rainbows arcing through the sky at once. In fact, scientific reports of these phenomena, called tertiary rainbows,…
Supernovas — stars in the process of exploding — open a window onto the history of the elements of Earth's periodic table as well as the history of the…
Rice University physicists have created a tiny “electron superhighway” that could one day be useful for building a quantum computer, a new type of computer…
The 'micro putter', developed in a study published today, 5 October 2011, in IOP Publishing's journal Measurement Science and Technology, has been designed to…
They linked concepts of quantum optics and condensed matter physics and show a direction to build a quantum computer which is immune against perturbations. The…
