When chiral gold nanoparticles are irradiated with near-infrared femtosecond pulses, visible emission of luminescence is observed. In a study published in Advanced Optical Materials, this luminescence was found to yield high ...
Researchers and artists have joined forces to "paint with light"—making invisible air pollution visible and demonstrating the health risks posed to people living and working in Ethiopia, India, and the UK.
Australian scientists from the University of Sydney and Australia's national science agency, CSIRO, have detected what is likely a neutron star spinning slower than any other ever measured.
Climate change is increasing flood risks in urban areas, with heavy rainfall disasters now becoming a global problem. Numerical simulations predict flooding from heavy rain and river overflows, usually displaying results ...
In recent years, significant strides to enhance the functionality and adaptability of devices have been taken in the field of optoelectronics. Now, a team of scientists from State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure ...
In materials science, particularly in the study of glasses, the intermediate range order (IRO) is one of the most intriguing research areas owing to its significant influence over the physical properties of glasses.
A simple concept of decay and fission of "magnetic quivers" helps to clarify complex quantum physics and mathematical structures.
If you dread public speaking you are not alone. It is a leading social phobia, one that can cause a state of anxiety that reduces otherwise articulate people to nervous incoherence.
Americans are deeply divided over the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and it's widely assumed the split reflects our bitter partisan conflicts. But a new study co-authored at UC Berkeley suggests one source ...
By modifying the genomes of plants and microorganisms, synthetic biologists can design biological systems that meet a specification, such as producing valuable chemical compounds, making bacteria sensitive to light, or programming ...
