Physicists at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the universities of Kiel and Hamburg are the first to discover a regular lattice of stable magnetic skyrmions –…
“This is a very satisfying result,” said Masaki Hori, a project leader in the ASACUSA collaboration. “It means that our measurement of the antiproton’s mass…
Berkeley Lab scientists and their colleagues have discovered a new relation among electric and magnetic fields and differences in temperature, which may lead…
But the comet was also observed from another spacecraft: the Solar and Heliospheric Observer (SOHO), better known for its observations of the sun. Together,…
The piezoelectrically modulated resistive memory (PRM) devices take advantage of the fact that the resistance of piezoelectric semiconducting materials such as…
According to modern cosmology, matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts in the Big Bang at the beginning of the universe. Physicists are developing…
For years these waves were too difficult to detect directly, but NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is now able to track the movements of this solar…
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory have observed a new way that magnetic and electric properties — which have a long…
The concept all begins with a granular system comprising a chain of equal-sized particles — spheres, for instance — that touch one another.In a paper in…
Scheduled to arrive at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on Monday, July 25, six gold-coated mirrors for the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) must be tested…
Research institutes and universities around the world are already looking at ways to build devices such as touch-screens, ultrafast transistors and…
“The environment around this quasar is very unique in that it's producing this huge mass of water,” said Matt Bradford, a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion…
A designer metamaterial has shown it can engineer emitted “blackbody” radiation with an efficiency beyond the natural limits imposed by the material's…
“So far we’ve collected as much data as was planned for the whole of 2011 and that’s already a great achievement for the LHC,” said CERN Director General Rolf…
Shimmering curtains of green and red undulate across the sky like a living thing. New research shows that aurorae on distant “hot Jupiters” could be 100-1000…
In the case of the Andromeda Galaxy, however, astronomers have a few tricks up their sleeves. Firstly, images from Hubble Space Telescope have unparalleled…
