At the same time, the team also established a speed record of 25 femtoseconds for flash imaging. The new method will be applicable to atomic-resolution imaging…
Speaking at an AVS session commemorating Benjamin Franklin's 300th birthday, physicist Lawrence Schein will explain how Franklin's pioneering studies on…
Now in its fifth year, the competition offers students the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime trip to ESO's flagship observatory in Chile, as well as many…
Combining x-ray reflection together with high resolution x-ray microscopy, scientists can now study interactions at the nanometer-scale which often can exhibit…
The “hurricane” spans a dark area inside a thick, brighter ring of clouds. It is approximately 8,000 kilometers (5,000 miles) across, or two thirds the…
The new quantum physics technique can be used to manipulate Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), a state of matter of worldwide research interest, and possibly…
“Radio frequency communications are generally reliable and well understood, but cannot support emerging data rate needs unless they use a large portion of the…
It was 11 April 2006 when, after a delicate manoeuvre, Venus Express entered into orbit around Venus, and started a series of gradually smaller loops around…
Conventional wisdom suggests that the Earth’s moon has seen no widespread volcanic activity for at least the last 3 billion years. Now, a fresh look at…
“This wavelength is of interest to the Navy for transmission of light through the maritime atmosphere and for material science applications,” said Fred Dylla,…
The researchers of the new institute will seek to make major scientific advances in our knowledge and understanding of the universe, bringing together…
In a recent experiment, to be published in Nature on November 9, Dr Matthias Meschke and professor Jukka Pekola, together with Dr Wiebke Guichard, a coworker…
A large survey, made with ESO's VLT, has shed light on our Galaxy's ancestry. After determining the chemical composition of over 2000 stars in the four nearest…
A bone is made up of two different elements: half of it is a stretchable fibrous protein called collagen and the other half a brittle mineral phase called…
Now a team from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute reports two new techniques, each following a different approach, for placing carbon nanotube patterns on metal…
Nanotechnology is not a new science and it is not a new technology. It is rather an extension of the sciences and technologies that have already been in…
