Scientists discover the “missing” interstellar iron in the universe
Astrophysicists know that iron (chemical symbol: Fe) is one of the most abundant elements in the universe, after lightweight elements such as hydrogen, carbon,...
Einstein’s theory of General Relativity might not be the only way to explain how...
Einstein’s theory of General Relativity is world famous – but it might not be the only way to explain how gravity works and how...
Scientists combine light and matter to make particles with new behaviors
Physicists create ‘doppelganger’ orbits for electrons. Every type of atom in the universe has a unique fingerprint: It only absorbs or emits light at the...
Scientists keep ‘Tsunami’ power on a silicon chip
A tsunami holds its wave shape over very long distances across the ocean, retaining its power and 'information' far from its source. In communications science,...
Scientists capture rare fast radio burst from faraway galaxy
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are among the most enigmatic and powerful events in the cosmos. Around 80 of these events--intensely bright millisecond-long bursts of radio...
Scientists find a new property of light
Researchers have discovered that light can possess a new property, self-torque.
This discovery could open up exciting possibilities in light-related applications, researchers explain in...
New material shows high potential for quantum computing
Scientists focus on quantum phenomena in gold. Scientists are getting closer to confirming the existence of an exotic quantum particle called Majorana fermion, crucial for...
Scientists pinpoint a fleeting radio burst for the first time
In a world first, an Australian-led international team of astronomers has determined the precise location of a powerful one-off burst of cosmic radio waves. The...
Scientists show previously unknown quantum states in double-layer graphene
Researchers from Brown and Columbia Universities have demonstrated previously unknown states of matter that arise in double-layer stacks of graphene, a two-dimensional nanomaterial. These new...
Scientists discover the outermost edge of the Milky Way galaxy
A team of researchers identified the outermost edge of the Milky Way galaxy. Using the Subaru Telescope, the researchers examined the boundary of the stellar...
