Quantum Interference Shown Experimentally in Larger Molecules
Particle-wave duality is one of the most mysterious facets of quantum physics. It states that every quantum object has properties of both a wave and…
Spin State Interaction from Copper Based Materials
To further understand magnetism and superconductivity, scientists examined the “spin states” and responses of two-dimensional lattices to extreme pressures, finding strong magnetic and lattice-structure coupling….
Climate Change Moving Faster than Bird Migration
New research shows that climate change may have a negative effect on birds. A new study looked at 59 different North American species of birds…
Runaway Planets at 30 Million MPH
It’s hard to imagine planets that zip around at 30 million mph, but it was only a few years ago that astronomers found a “flying…
Antimagnet Cloak Hides Objects from Static Magnetic Fields
Researchers in the journal Science have reported that they can now create a cloak that hides objects from static magnetic fields. There are a multitude…
New Insight on Pterosaur Specimen, Istiodactylus Latidens
New research has allowed paleontologists to gain new insight on a prehistoric piece of jaw from a pterosaur specimen, Istiodactylus latidens, which has been housed…
NASA Makes Earth’s Oceans Look like Van Gogh’s Starry Night
This incredible visualization of the Earth and its oceans was created by the Scientific Visualization Studio at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. It’s called Perpetual…
Cicadas Might Have Given Rise to a Form of Batesian Mimicry in Citheronia Azteca
Periodical invasions of cicadas are common across the eastern United States and giant silk moths (Citheronia azteca) might have evolved to resemble cicadas as a…
7 Million Year Old Footprints Reveal Elephant Social Structure from the Past
Although elephants vanished from the United Arab Emirates a long time ago, it appears that footprints made roughly seven million years ago in the Arabian…
GRACE Data Spreads Awareness of Groundwater Levels
To help bring awareness to the importance of Earth’s groundwater, a new map showing the world’s groundwater supplies has been created in part from data…
Exposing 8,000 Years of Civilization with Satellites
Hidden beneath mounds of Earth, in the fertile crescent of the Middle East, lie overlooked networks of small settlements that date back millennia. Archaeologists are…
Looking Back to Move Thermoelectric Materials Forward
In search of better thermoelectric materials, a team of physicists turned to a material NASA engineers first used roughly 40 years ago for spacecraft design,…
Proposed Thorium Neutron-Based Clock Would be Accurate for Billions of Years
Scientists are proposing the building of a hyper-accurate nuclear clock that would lose only one-tenth of a second over 14 billion years, the current age…
Titanoboa, a Paleogene Period 40-Foot Long Snake
A new fossil of an extraordinarily large snake was discovered in the lowland tropics of northern Colombia, 60 miles from the Caribbean coast in Cerrejón….
Computer Simulation Shows High-Gain Nuclear Fusion
In a method that appears to be 50 times more efficient than using X-rays, computer simulations showed that high-gain nuclear fusion is possible in a…
Noise Affects More Than Just Your Ears
It has long been known that noise affects animal behavior, just look at our personal reactions and behaviors when stuck in a noisy city. But…
Expedition to Atlantis Massif Yields New Information
While on IODP Expedition 340T, a team of scientists were able to measure the geophysical properties of gabbroic rocks directly in place for the first…
