University of Chicago physicists have invented a "quantum flute" that, like the Pied Piper, can coerce particles of light to move together in a way that's never been seen before. Described in two st… [+3991 chars]
In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton published his magnum opus, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which effectively synthesized his theories on motion, velocity, and universal gravitation. In terms o… [+10666 chars]
The researchers contend the technique allows scientists and engineers to, for the first time, visualize mRNA molecules in the brains of living mice, providing insights into how memories are formed an… [+1115 chars]
A team of physicists at the University of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy has used mathematical calculations to show that quantum communications across interstellar space should be possib… [+2673 chars]
A cornerstone of any science lab, microscopes are now more affordable than ever, and offer plenty of additional features, too. Some offer LCD displays, while others, like this microscope kit from Beb… [+2060 chars]
As it captivated people around the world, the January eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano gave scientists a once-in-a-lifetime chance to study how the atmosphere works, unlocking keys t… [+2205 chars]
Using images collected by NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft, researchers have traced the progress of a landslide on the asteroid Bennu that resulted from an impact with another object. The team determine… [+3557 chars]
A small asteroid the size of a bus will make an extremely close approach to Earth on Thursday (July 7), passing within just 56,000 miles (90,000 kilometers) — or about 23% of the average distance bet… [+2273 chars]
China will select half a dozen space-mission proposals in the next few months from a candidate list of 13, and may adopt their picks as soon as 2024 for operations later this decade. The 13 propos… [+4840 chars]
Journey into Space is not always to go to a planet. Zero-gravity conditions in Space offer opportunities to conduct experiments that cannot be conducted on Earth. Insights that we gain through these … [+1509 chars]
Germanium telluride is a strong candidate for use in functional spintronic devices due to its giant Rashba-effect. Now, scientists at HZB have discovered another intriguing phenomenon in GeTe by stud… [+4633 chars]
Using the Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory (PRAO), Russian astronomers have carried out a search for rotating radio transients (RRATs). In a recently published paper on the arXiv pre-print serve… [+2997 chars]
