On Saturday 27 January 2007 at 13:34 CET the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope entered into a protective “safemode” condition, most likely triggered by a short…
Liquid crystals are materials that combine the properties of a liquid with those of crystalline solids. They show a middle phase, known as mesophase or liquid…
It's a mystery why the speed and complexity of evolution appear to increase with time. For example, the fossil record indicates that single-celled life first…
That magic moment — described as a “jamming transition” — is announced by a kind of phase change analogous to the freezing of water, the scientists showed in…
The complex, the first experimental version of which has already been constructed and is being tested by scientists from this world-famous space science and…
Although current drills may find essential tell-tale signs that life once existed on Mars, cellular life could not survive the radiation levels for long enough…
A Finnish-Japanese joint research project has produced first-rate results by discovering a phase transition in the structure of crystalline materials in…
The electron source is based on an ultra-sharp metallic needle illuminated with short light pulses from a laser. “With these electron pulses, it is possible to…
During its long trek to final destination (comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko), Rosetta is planned to study two asteroids – 2867-Steins and 21-Lutetia, both lying…
