Graphene—a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a honeycombed lattice—has a number of advantages over silicon. Because it is an optically transparent…
Two Arizona State University researchers, Richard Akis and Regent's Professor David Ferry, both of the electrical engineering department's Nanostructures…
The Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys viewed a large portion of the cluster, spanning several million light-years across. The entire cluster contains…
They have taken delivery of the main body of the satellite donated by Loughborough-based engineering company Magna Parva. The project will result in the…
Also known as Abell 1656, the Coma Cluster is over 300 million light-years away. The cluster, named after its parent constellation Coma Berenices, is near the…
A team led by the University College London (UCL) test-fired the projectiles in Wales, recording a peak of 20,000 gee upon impact (where humans can survive up…
The telescopes are all members of the Express Production Real-time e-VLBI Service (EXPReS) project, and May 22 marked a live demonstration of their first…
“We're a little surprised at how much this material is clumping together when we dig into it,” said Doug Ming a Phoenix science team member from NASA's Johnson…
Graphene is the two-dimensional crystalline form of carbon: a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in hexagons, like a sheet of chicken wire with an atom at…
That's good news for people who scramble when space weather interferes with their technology, but it became a point of discussion for the scientists who…
Colloids require a delicate balance of opposing forces for them to be stable: attractive forces must be matched by repulsive ones. A new colloidal…
Engineers and scientists on the Phoenix team assembled at the University of Arizona are determining the best approach to get some of that material into the…
How do grains flow out of an emptying silo? And what about sugar poured out by a pastry chef? Like liquids (2), grains can flow, but there is no attraction…
To see the latest science of type-I superconductors, look no further than the froth on a morning cup of cappuccino. A team of U.S. Department of Energy's Ames…
The instrument, called the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT), has been assembled and is being tested at Vanderbilt¹s Dyer Observatory. Shortly, it…
Ultracold quantum gases made of strongly correlated particles are important models for the understanding of solid-state systems. Strong correlations between…
