Two University of California, Riverside assistant professors of physics are among a team of researchers that have developed a new way of seeing electrons cool off in an extremely short time period.
Cell survival depends on having a plentiful and balanced pool of the four chemical building blocks that make up DNA — the deoxyribonucleosides deoxyadenosine, deoxyguanosine, deoxycytidine, and thymidine, often abbreviat...
An international group of astronomers led by the University of Sydney has discovered strong magnetic fields are common in stars, not rare as previously thought, which will dramatically impact our understanding of how sta...
Researchers are developing the next generation of advanced materials for use in sport and military applications, with the goal of preventing brain injuries.
Researchers have devised a periodic table of protein complexes, making it easier to visualise, understand and predict how proteins combine to drive biological processes.
Researchers have identified a new mechanism that drives the development of form and structure, through the observation of artificial materials that shape-shift through a wide variety of forms which are as complex as thos...
The continued downscaling of transistors reaches around 10 nanometers in the near future. Researchers from DTU Nanotech pursue even smaller devices – going towards 5 nm corresponding roughly to a few hundred atoms in len...
Whether you have a passion for physics, general desire to push the boundaries of science, or have no clue about these things at all, but simply think the idea of smashing some particles together is “pretty cool” – we hav...
In a step towards a post-graphene era of new materials for electronic applications, an international team of researchers, including scientists at the University of California, Riverside, has found a new and exciting way ...
A team of scientists have measured a bizarre effect in quantum physics, in which individual particles of light are said to have been “squeezed” – an achievement which at least one textbook had written off as hopeless.
An innovative X-ray source is now showing what it can do. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics in Garching, the Ludwig Maximilian University Munich and the Technical University Munich have captured i...
One big problem faced by electrodes in rechargeable batteries, as they go through repeated cycles of charging and discharging, is that they must expand and shrink during each cycle — sometimes doubling in volume, and the...
Millimetre-sized crystals of high-quality graphene can be made in minutes instead of hours using a new scalable technique, Oxford University researchers have demonstrated.
Many human-made pollutants in the environment resist degradation through natural processes, and disrupt hormonal and other systems in mammals and other animals. Removing these toxic materials — which include pesticides a...
The remarkable "hair ice" - a type of ice that grows on dead wood under certain winter conditions and looks more like cotton candy than ice - has been found to be formed by the fungus Exidiopsis effusa.
Instruments that measure the properties of light, known as spectrometers, are widely used in physical, chemical, and biological research. These devices are usually too large to be portable, but MIT scientists have now sh...
The American Association for Science and Technology (AASCIT) is a not-for-profit association of scientists from all over the world dedicated to advancing the knowledge of science and technology and its related disciplines, fostering the interchange of ideas and information among investigators.
