Plain silicon grating reveals a hidden 'twist' in light from electron beams

In 1953, two physicists showed that an electron beam skimming past a grating emits light whose color depends only on the electron's speed and the grating's spacing. Known as Smith-Purcell radiation, this phenomenon has become ...

Elections are more predictable than they look

As politics in America become more polarized and each voting cycle seems more fraught than the last, a common narrative in the media is that each election is unique and increasingly unpredictable. But new research shows that ...

Bacteria reinvent their weapons through selection, chance and gene swapping

Many of the most potent antibiotics originate from bacteria. A large proportion belong to a class of compounds known as nonribosomal peptides (NRP). They are produced by large bacterial enzyme machineries—the nonribosomal ...

New marker panel and free web tool help track stem cells as they develop

How can the identity of pluripotent stem cells be determined more reliably during their differentiation? Researchers from the IUF—Leibniz Research Institute for Environmental Medicine and Heinrich Heine University Duesseldorf ...

Can we stop antibiotic resistance from ruining promising drugs before they reach patients?

What if we could predict early in drug development which antibiotics bacteria are most likely to become resistant to? In a review published in Nature Reviews Microbiology, researchers from the HUN-REN Biological Research ...

Everyday Mylar turned into a promising insulator for lunar habitats

Establishing a long-term presence on the moon will require solving challenges that are easy to overlook on Earth. Lunar temperatures, for instance, can vary from hundreds of degrees below zero to boiling, making effective ...

Chaos makes sense of market movements in a crisis

Research shows that crises do more than cause financial market volatility and falling share prices—they lead to markets becoming far more interconnected.

Stellar collision may explain why Orion Nebula's planet-forming disks appear younger than its stars

The Orion Nebula is a large star-forming region visible to the naked eye. Some of the young stars in the nebula are surrounded by disks of gas and dust in which planets form. Radiation from the massive central star, 1 Ori ...
