Recent breakthroughs by their team at JILA, a joint institute of CU-Boulder and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, have paved the way on how…
Physicists have taken major step forward in the development of practical phonon lasers, which emit sound in much the same way that optical lasers emit light.The development should lead to new, high-resolution imaging devices and medical applications. Just as optical lasers have been incorporated into countless, ubiquitous devices, a phonon laser is likely to be critical to a host of as yet unimaginable applications….
Such encounters between dwarf galaxies are normally seen billions of light-years away and therefore occurred billions of years ago. But these galaxies, members…
Professor Rau is the only Canadian researcher among the group of 60 scientists involved in the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (CDMS) whose latest…
McGuire and Luebke have developed a new method for computerizing lighting and light sources that will allow video game graphics to approach film quality. Their…
The new study reveals that most of the jet's light—gamma rays, the universe's most energetic form of light—is created much farther from the black hole than…
The team used Brookhaven's giant atom smasher, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, or RHIC, to ram charged gold particles into each other billions of times,…
“We have, in effect, found a flaw in the forensic methods used until now,” says Else Starkenburg, lead author of the paper reporting the study. “Our improved…
Some classes of molecules are capable of arranging themselves in specific patterns on surfaces. This ability to self-organize is crucial for many technological…
New images from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope show where supernova remnants emit radiation a billion times more energetic than visible light. The…
The degradable polymer is made from sugars known as lignocellulosic biomass, which come from non-food crops such as fast-growing trees and grasses, or…
Scientists at the [http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/] Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a 2.4-mile-circumference particle accelerator at the U.S. Department of…
Recent analyses from the [http://www.bnl.gov/rhic/] Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a 2.4-mile-circumference “atom smasher” at the U.S. Department of…
Approximately 120 students from all over the world will participate in the Space Studies Program. An international cadre of distinguished professors will teach…
By applying a commercially available spin-on-glass (SOG) material to graphene and then exposing it to electron-beam radiation, researchers at the Georgia…
“We have known for more than a decade that in the early universe – three to five billion years after the Big Bang or nine to eleven billion years before today…
