Today, Wang, known as a pioneer in this field, and his colleagues have been awarded more than $1.3 million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to…
The results could be a deeper understanding of how to manage insects, with the potential to lead to advances in agricultural, commercial and residential pest…
In their experiment the scientists tested a completely new principle of cooling. For this, they used the property that atoms can be stimulated by light.In this…
In order to achieve control over single electrons in a bunch, ultrashort light pulses of a few femtoseconds duration are needed. Physicists of the Max Planck…
The galaxy, so distant that it is seen as it was 12.8 billion years ago, is as large as the Milky Way galaxy and harbours a supermassive black hole that…
Though the galaxy is seen edge-on, observations of NGC 4945 suggest that this hive of stars is a spiral galaxy much like our own, with swirling, luminous arms…
“Measuring the curvature of space caused by gravity is one of the most sensitive ways to learn how Einstein's theory of General Relativity relates to quantum…
This breakthrough, described in an advanced online publication of the journal Nature on Sunday, Aug. 30, breaks new ground in the field of optics. The UC…
The research field of optical spectroscopy has already attracted attention of generations of scientists, starting with Fraunhofer's discovery of dark lines in…
The joint US-Australian research team combined data from satellites, ground stations and climate models in a study to assess the many factors that affect…
The discovery could give a new insight into just how energy is dissipated in solar system sized plasmas such as the solar wind and could provide significant…
That grisly fate is unlikely, a new study now suggests.While astronomers know that such collisions have probably occurred in the past, the new computer…
Of increased importance, as policy makers and politicians prepare to negotiate binding carbon emission targets at December's United Nation's Convention on…
Many classical algorithms in computer science include so called “random walks”, where possible ways to solve a problem are chosen at random. Algorithms of that…
The technique can measure the spectrum of the specific wavelengths of near infrared light used widely in telecommunications as well as the very weak infrared…
Fish and some amphibians possess a unique sensory capability in the so-called lateral-line system. It allows them, in effect, to “touch” objects in their…
