High-quality medical images produced using a microchip prove researcher’s fabrication method can be used to miniaturize sensing, imaging, and optical communication systems. Scientists in Christine…
An explosion is a complex event involving quickly changing temperatures, pressures, and chemical concentrations. In a paper in the Journal of Applied Physics, from AIP…
A group of researchers has devised a method of sliding ice and frost off surfaces by melting the interfacial layer directly. In the future, a…
The Earth’s magnetic field extends from pole to pole and is strongly affected by solar wind from the sun. This “wind” is a stream of…
Nanoscientists at Northwestern University have developed a blueprint to fabricate new heterostructures from different types of 2-D materials. 2-D materials are single-atom layers that can…
New research offers evidence that humans — and the rest of life on Earth — may have been able to form with the right combination…
Theoretical physicists used simulations to explain the unusual readings collected in 2009 by the Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry, and Ranging (MESSENGER) mission. The origin…
A team of scientists has announced the first ever measurement of antiproton interactions that make possible the existence of antimatter nuclei. The discovery gives physicists…
Engineers from MIT have discovered a new mathematical relationship between material thickness, temperature, and electrical resistance that appears to hold in all superconductors. The result…
New research shows that certain peptides degrade under UV light by first passing through a triplet quantum state, a reactive arrangement that can cause greater…
A new 3D model provides new insight into the turbulent death throes of supernovas, showing a turbulent interior that spits out star remnants prior to…
