The team previously discovered an “attractive” force of light and showed how it could be manipulated to move components in semiconducting micro- and…
For a Chinese-German research team the “force of attraction” of minute nanowires is not only based on their special scientific interests: Physicists of the…
Precise control of quantum effects is vital to the realization of entirely new technologies. For example, a computer based on quantum physical principles is…
The tight cluster of stars surrounding a supermassive black hole after it has been violently kicked out of a galaxy represents a new kind of astronomical…
Work by Brian O’Shea, an MSU assistant professor of physics and astronomy, and two colleagues indicates that the universe’s earliest inhabitants, known as…
By creating robust simulations of the early universe, astrophysicists Matthew Turk and Tom Abel of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology,…
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) GOES-O satellite is the second in the GOES N Series that will improve weather forecasting and…
Sporting a 3.5-meter mirror, the Herschel Space Observatory is the largest space telescope ever built and flown. Herschel is about one-and-one-half times the…
It was Copernicus who discovered that the Earth orbits the Sun, thus paving the way for our modern view of the world.Thirteen years ago, element 112 was…
In two separate scientific papers, the most recent of which appears in the July 10 issue of the journal Physical Review Letters, the astrophysicists show that…
When you toss a coin, you either get heads or tails. By contrast, things are not so definite at the microcosmic level. An atomic 'coin' can display a…
Professor David Jamieson, Head of the School of Physics, is investigating the notebooks of Galileo from 400 years ago and believes that buried in the notations…
A group of researchers from the Department of Physics at UAB have designed a device, called a dc metamaterial, which makes objects invisible under certain…
The Omega Nebula, sometimes called the Swan Nebula, is a dazzling stellar nursery located about 5500 light-years away towards the constellation of Sagittarius…
The article, “Acoustic effects accurately predict an extreme case of biological morphology,” by Z. Zhang, R. Müller, and S.N. Truong, details the adult…
