A research team led by ORNL's Bobby Sumpter, Vincent Meunier and Eduardo Cruz-Silva has discovered how loops develop in graphene, an electrically conductive…
A team of scientists at Rutgers University has found a material in which an electric field can control the overall magnetic properties of the material. If the…
A nova is a sudden, rapid increase in the brightness of a star. The explosion occurs when a white dwarf ignites in an enormous thermonuclear explosion. The…
The generation of an electric field by the compression and expansion of solid materials is known as the piezoelectric effect, and it has a wide range of…
Astronomers studying this black hole and its effects have been struck by the remarkable similarities between it and a volcano in Iceland that made headlines…
Leading scientists from neuroscience, nanoscience, astrophysics, computer science and engineering are gathering to discuss this question in Tromso, Norway,…
Dr. O'Meara was at the Magellan telescope at Las Campanas Observatory when he was contacted by collaborators Hsiao-Wen Chen of the University of Chicago and J….
The moon formed in a chaotic environment of intense bombardment by asteroids and meteors. These collisions, along with the decay of radioactive elements, made…
Ultracold atoms in optical lattices have evolved in the last years into an interdisciplinary tool for many-body solid state and quantum physics. But so far…
New research published today, Thursday, 19 August, in a special issue of IOP Publishing's Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics shows that solid-state lighting…
A press conference to mark the occasion will be held at the press room of Geneva International Airport at 9:00 CEST on 25 August, and journalists will have the…
In ongoing observations of one of the universe’s earliest, most distant cluster of galaxies using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope, an international team of…
NIST will use the new ultra-dark detector, described in a new paper in Nano Letters,* to make precision laser power measurements for advanced technologies such…
In the just-concluded “Astro2010” decadal survey, a panel of experts was convened to look at the coming decade and prioritize all research activities in…
The research is published Aug. 20 in the journal Physical Review Letters.Cosmic rays of the highest energies were believed by physicists to come from remote…
The pulsar is a rapidly spinning neutron star — the crushed core of a massive star that long ago exploded as a supernova. Neutron stars pack more than the…
