Habitats surrounding natural oil seeps on the sea floor are multifaceted and diverse. During an expedition organized by MARUM, the Center for Marine…
The majority of heavy atomic nuclei do not look at all like a perfect sphere, but are subtly flattened or extended. The prestigious journal Physical Review…
In principle, there is no lack of iron on Earth as the metal is one of the most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust. However in the ocean, dissolved iron is…
Transparent conductors are one of the key elements of today’s electronic and optoelectronic devices such as displays, light emitting diodes, photovoltaic…
These desert ants live in salt pans and are ideal models for navigation research. When they set out in search of food in their flat, bare, hostile environment,…
Rechargeable lithium batteries with cathodes comprising nickel, manganese, and cobalt, are viewed as the most potent today. But they, too, have a limited…
A/V Segment Matching – Tracking metadata and detecting duplicates
Material scientists have predicted and built two new magnetic materials, atom-by-atom, using high-throughput computational models. The success marks a new era…
The body’s immune system performs essential functions, such as defending against bacteria and cancer cells. However, the human brain is separated from immune…
Quantum mechanics describes how matter behaves on the smallest mass and length scales. However, the absence of quantum phenomena in our daily lives has…
Researchers at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering are using a novel means of studying how methane and water form methane hydrate that allows them to examine…
Commercially available lithium-ion batteries consist of two electrodes connected by a liquid electrolyte. This electrolyte makes it difficult for engineers to…
Although most of the more than 2,500 pulsars known are solitary objects, a few are found in tight binary systems. The discovery of the first of these, the…
The observation of gravitational waves is gradually becoming routine. Once again, researchers have recorded the ripples of space-time predicted by Albert…
Y chromosomes, which are only inherited paternally, evolved from “normal” chromosomes known as autosomes. As males only possess one Y chromosome, there is no…
In a recent study, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids in Dresden, in collaboration with High Field Magnet Laboratory (HFML-EMFL), Netherlands; Dresden High Magnetic Field Laboratory (HLD-EMFL) and Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland show extremely large conductivity in a semimetal, WP2. The conductivity of ~ 3 x 108 W-1cm-1in WP2 at 2 K is comparable to highly conducting metals like potassium and copper of the similar purity. The authors identified two major reasons for diminished scattering…
The TEDDY study’s international research team has identified the new gene regions in young people who have already developed type 1 diabetes or who have…
Infrared light has a keen sense for molecules. With the help of this light, researchers are able to go in search of the small particles which shape and…
“We made these two new discoveries in our large-scale Einstein@Home gamma-ray pulsar survey. This feat was only possible by using novel and more efficient…
