Black holes are astronomical objects with extremely strong gravitational pulls from which not even light can escape. While the idea of bodies that would trap light has been around since the 18th century, the first direct ...
A team of researchers affiliated with a host of institutions in China has developed an ultrafast optoelectronic switch using a Bose-Einstein condensate of polaritons. They published their work in the journal Physical Review ...
Until now it has been difficult to test the health of dolphin populations due to their migratory pattens, their size and, in some cases, dwindling numbers.
