“Electronic devices mostly use the charge of the electrons – a negative charge that is moving,” says Ashutosh Tiwari, an associate professor of materials…
The star-forming region NGC 6729 is part of one of the closest stellar nurseries to the Earth and hence one of the best studied. This new image from ESO's Very…
“To my knowledge, nobody had ever done systematic measurements on this equipment, since by the time one had the tools, these systems had been replaced by more…
In ferroelectric memory the direction of molecules' electrical polarization serves as a 0 or a 1 bit. An electric field is used to flip the polarization, which…
In the latest twist on optical knots, New York University (NYU) physicists have discovered a new method to create extended and knotted optical traps in three…
Scientists are excited about solving some of the mysteries surrounding our smallest and hottest planet. The findings are expected to broaden our understanding…
Although in principle quantum mechanics can describe the properties of molecules and materials in which the electrons’ motions are strongly correlated, in…
The part of the nebula visible in this image from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys is criss-crossed with tendrils of dust and gas churned up by recent…
The universe appears to be expanding at an increasing rate. Some believe that is because the universe is filled with a dark energy that works in the opposite…
The idea that a rainbow of broadband light could be slowed down or stopped using plasmonic structures has only recently been predicted in theoretical studies…
Flocking behavior does not only exist among birds, insects or fish; the microcosm offers similar phenomena, too. A team of scientists including Ferenc Krausz…
Northwestern University researchers have developed a new switching device that takes quantum communication to a new level. The device is a practical step…
The Mars500 mission – a simulated mission to the red planet in which researchers from the Mainz University Medical Center in Germany are involved – has reached…
Using a very fast oscilloscope, researchers led by Dan Ralph, the Horace White Professor of Physics, and Robert Buhrman, the J.E. Sweet Professor of Applied…
It has long been suspected that the build up of material onto young stars is not continuous but happens in episodic events, resulting in short outbursts of…
Magnetic Random Access Memories (MRAM) are the most important new modules on the market of computer storage devices. Like the well known USB-sticks, they store…
