Effect of hydrogen content on sensitivity First, to confirm that the sensitivity of PGA changes with the hydrogen content instead of the effect of apparent neutron flux, the sensitivity was evaluate… [+7299 chars]
When it is free in cold space, a molecule will spontaneously cool down by slowing its rotation and losing rotational energy in quantum transitions. Physicists have shown that this rotational cooling … [+6418 chars]
LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA gravitational-wave detectors store vast amounts of optical power, and multiple pairs of mirrors are employed to maximize the quantity of laser light stored along the detector’s… [+1932 chars]
NUS physicists have realised superconductivity in lanthanide nickel-oxide, answering a theoretical prediction made about three decades ago. This enables a new way to achieve and understand high-tempe… [+4578 chars]
A study from the Missouri Ozarks highlights the importance of spatial aspects of biodiversity for healthy functioning of naturally occurring forests. Biologists from Washington University in St. Lou… [+7987 chars]
In between Earth's rigid tectonic plates above and its convecting mantle below is a hot and soft layer known as the asthenosphere. At mid-ocean ridges, upwelling of the hot asthenosphere to the surfa… [+2982 chars]
Millions of tons of a class of extremely reactive chemicals called hydrotrioxides can linger in the atmosphere for several hours, a new study suggests — which could have implications for human healt… [+5611 chars]
In conventional wisdom, producing a curved space requires distortions, such as bending or stretching a flat space. A team of researchers at Purdue University have discovered a new method to create cu… [+8129 chars]
Ohio State University astronomers have identified about 116,000 new variable stars, according to a new paper. These heavenly bodies were found by The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN… [+4100 chars]
New research demonstrates that by killing essential gut bacteria, antibiotics ravage athletes' motivation and endurance. The UC Riverside-led mouse study suggests the microbiome is a big factor separ… [+3336 chars]
By bumping off eight of the worlds best bridge players, a new AI has not only claimed a win in one of the games where humans have still held out, but also victory for other AIs of its type. French s… [+3412 chars]
Sometimes the simplest solutions offer the best outcomes along with a little help from human ingenuity. This is the case for night sky radiant cooling (NSRC), a process that combines the temperature … [+6358 chars]
