New findings from computer modeling indicate that some of those exoplanets might fluctuate between being habitable and being inhospitable to life because of…
The first two types of supernova are either hot, young giants that go out in a violent display as they collapse under their own weight, or old, dense, white…
QDs can be moved with “optical tweezers” – a system that sets up a gradient of forces from multiple laser beams – or by electrophoresis, in which a microscopic…
Physicists at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have developed a quantum interface which connects light particles and atoms. The interface is based on an…
For more than a decade, astronomers have been puzzled by bright galaxies in the distant universe that appear to be forming stars at phenomenal rates. What…
The planet, called WASP-12b, is so close to its sunlike star that it is superheated to nearly 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit and stretched into a football shape by…
Internet, networks of connections between Hollywood actors, etc, are examples of complex networks, whose properties have been intensively studied in recent…
Among the various types of butterflies, swallowtails are unique in that their wing area is very large relative to their body mass. This combined with their…
New research published today, Thursday, 20 May, in New Journal of Physics (co-owned by the Institute of Physics and German Physical Society), shows that…
John Wagner, Technical Integration Manager for Nuclear Modeling within ORNL's Nuclear Science and Technology Division (NSTD), says one of the goals of his…
In our macroscale world, materials called conductors effectively transmit electricity and materials called insulators or dielectrics don't, unless they are…
“Nanoscience is a hot issue right now, and people are trying to create self-assembled nanoparticle arrays for data and memory storage,” Argonne assistant…
In the article, highlighted as an “Editor's Suggestion” by the journal, the scientists provide a new theoretical computation of the force acting between a pair…
For the next two weeks, the Whole Earth Telescope, an international network of cooperating astronomical observatories led by the University of Delaware, will…
An important model to explain high-temperature superconductivity is the so-called ‘quantum spin liquid’. Scientists are therefore interested in understanding…
At extremely low temperatures atoms can aggregate into so-called Bose Einstein condensates forming coherent laser-like matter waves. Due to interactions…
