When nanoparticles are excited by radio-frequency (RF) electromagnetic fields, interesting effects may occur. For example, the cell nucleus could get damaged…
Quantum information processing is arguably one of the most fascinating facets of modern quantum physics. A quantum computer operates with quantum bits (qubits)…
A broad review of current research on nuclear power economics has been published in the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy. The report concludes that…
Innovative technologies open up new fields of research and give scientists new tools. Yet currently space organisations may not be aware of developments in…
Interest in developing alternative energy sources is driving the consideration of a promising technology that uses underwater turbines to convert ocean tidal…
Astronomers have found the first evidence of a magnetic field in a jet of material ejected from a young star, a discovery that points toward future…
The ALICE experiment, which is optimised for the study of heavy ions, published two papers just a few days after the start of lead-ion running. Now, the first…
Electrical engineers generated short, powerful light pulses on a chip – an important step toward the optical interconnects that will likely replace the copper…
Some of the universe's most massive galaxies may have formed billions of years earlier than current scientific models predict, according to surprising new…
Using data from Bureau Van Dijk – the company information and business intelligence provider – to assess the reach and size of different countries' economies,…
Physicists from the University of Bonn have developed a completely new source of light, a so-called Bose-Einstein condensate consisting of photons. Until…
Grzegorz Pietrzyñski introduces this remarkable result: “By using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESO's La Silla Observatory in Chile, along…
Creating micro-scale air vehicles that mimic the flapping of winged insects or birds has become popular, but they typically require a complex combination of…
“Formation of galaxies is one of the biggest remaining questions in astrophysics,” said Andrey Kravtsov, associate professor in astronomy & astrophysics at the…
