In the experiment set to launch on Jan. 26, if winds are favorable, researchers from the University of Colorado will use a rocket at the top of its arc 200…
Astronomers have pushed the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to its limits by finding what is plausibly the most distant and ancient object in the Universe [1]…
This places the object roughly 150 million light years more distant than the previous record holder. The observations provide the best insights yet into the…
Graphene, a two-dimensional crystalline form of carbon, is being touted as a sort of “Holy Grail” of materials. It boasts properties such as a breaking…
Van der Waals forces are fundamental for chemistry, biology and physics. However, they are among the weakest known chemical interactions, so they are…

The dramatic increase in the figure of merit, used to measure a material’s relative thermoelectric performance, could pave the way for a new generation of…
In a development that may revolutionize handheld electronics, flat-panel displays, touch panels, electronic ink, and solar cells, as well as drastically reduce…
LED lighting relies on GaN thin films to create the diode structure that produces light. The new technique reduces the number of defects in those films by two…
“With the aid of soap films we have solved variational mathematical problems, which appear in the formulation of many physical problems”, explains Carlos…
They said it could be done and now they’ve done it. What’s more, they did it with a GRIN. A team of researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s…
The dynamics behind signal transmission in the brain are extremely chaotic. This conclusion has been reached by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for…
Researchers from the Nano-Science Center at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, in collaboration with Japanese researchers, have shown how…
An international team of scientists using data from NASA's Swift satellite confirms the existence of a largely unseen population of black-hole-powered…
Glory is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on Feb. 23 at 5:09 a.m. EST. It will join a fleet called the Afternoon Constellation…
