Now astrophysicists from the University of Zurich present the world’s first realistic simulation of the formation of our home galaxy together with astronomers…
“Incredibly, this source is still producing X-rays and may remain bright enough for Swift to observe into next year,” said David Burrows, professor of…
This advance provides a better picture of how polymer molecules respond under fast-flow, high-stress processing conditions for plastics and other polymeric…
Researchers at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory's Pulsed Field Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory have set a new world record for the…
Laser plasma accelerators offer the potential to create powerful electron beams within a fraction of the space required by conventional accelerators – and at a…
The new findings also suggest that the red-tinged dwarf planet may be covered in a thin layer of methane, the remnants of an atmosphere that's slowly being…
If fiber optic cable is ideal for carrying information, why haven’t photons replaced electrons entirely? Largely because miniaturizing photonic equipment all…
Cosmic distances are difficult to grasp and no less difficult to measure. When it comes to other galaxies or even remote parts of our own Milky Way, distance…
To probe the evolution of atomic nuclei with different shape —a factor which affects atomic stability—a large team of international researchers has added…
This project begins three years after beads of liquid brine were first photographed on one of the Mars Phoenix lander's legs. “On Earth, everywhere there's…
This is concluded in new research conducted by an international team of scientists that includes James Connelly from the Centre for Star and Planet Formation,…
Twin detectors recently installed in the first of three experimental halls in the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment are now recording interactions of…
The world economy is becoming ever more reliant on high tech electronics such as computers featuring fingernail-sized microprocessors crammed with billions of…
A metamaterial is a structure engineered from a variety of substances that, when put together, yield optical properties that do not exist in nature. In this…
Their proposed design runs on so little energy that batteries are not even necessary; it could run merely by tapping the ambient energy from the environment.Rather than the traditional charge-based electronic switches that encode the basic 0s and 1s of computer lingo, spintronics harnesses the natural spin – either up or down – of electrons to store bits of data. Spin one way and you get a 0; switch the spin the other way – typically by applying a magnetic field or by a spin-polarized current pulse – and you get a 1. During switching, spintronics uses considerably less energy than charge-based electronics. …
But David Leverington, an associate professor in the Department of Geosciences at Texas Tech University, said what we interpret as the largest ancient…
