In its bulk liquid form, water is a disordered medium that flows very readily. When most substances are compressed into a solid, their density increases. But…
In a paper published online on April 25 in the journal Physical Review D, the two physicists show that matter as we know it will remain as the universe expands…
Just as superconductors have no electrical resistance, superfluids have no viscosity, and can flow freely. Like superconductors, which can be used to measure…
This immense nebula contains a dozen or more brilliant stars that are estimated to be at least 50 to 100 times the mass of our Sun. The most opulent is the…
Astronomers have discovered the most Earth-like planet outside our Solar System to date, an exoplanet with a radius only 50% larger than the Earth and capable…
A new study by Rice University scientists predicts the existence and stability of another “buckyball” consisting entirely of boron atoms.The research, which…
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a theory that predicts how these materials age. The theory also explains why motions at the molecular…
“The improvement with STEREO's 3D view is like going from a regular X-ray to a 3D CAT scan in the medical field,” said Dr. Michael Kaiser, STEREO Project…
Each of the four VERITAS cameras created by Iowa State researchers contains 500 photon detectors that can see particle showers created by gamma rays hitting…
In a paper to be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Applied Physics Letters, Wake Forest researchers describe how they have achieved record…
Black holes are not quite the all-consuming monsters depicted in popular culture. Until gas crosses the boundary of the black hole known as the event horizon,…
A group from the University of Bristol and the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile has developed a sophisticated computer model to work out the…
Try as they might, ancient alchemists could never turn lead into gold. Neither can the members of the Novel Materials group at the U.S. Department of Energy’s…
“This method allows us to directly and precisely measure the phase shifts that result when ultracold atoms collide, in a way that is independent of the…
In a talk on Thursday 19 April at the Royal Astronomical Society National Astronomy Meeting in Preston, Dr Youra Taroyan and Professor Robert von…
An international research project has begun that could help bring to mass-market organic light emitting devices (OLEDs), which could have far reaching…
