EPFL researchers have developed a method to calibrate electron spectrometers with extreme accuracy by linking microwave, optical, and free-electron frequencies.
It looks like a magic trick: Cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a particular height. With no physical contact, an invisible force directs certain cells to float up or down in unison, ...
Modern industry requires multi-dimensional performance design of protective structural materials. In nature, many organisms maintain the mechanical strength required for defense and achieve camouflage effects at the same ...
Using 11 years of magnetic field measurements from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellite constellation, scientists have discovered that the weak region in Earth's magnetic field over the South Atlantic—known as the ...
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to three scientists on Tuesday for discovering that a bizarre barrier-defying phenomenon in the quantum realm could be observed on an electrical circuit in our classical world.
A hundred years before the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a black hole in 2019—located at the heart of the galaxy M87—astronomer Heber Curtis had already discovered a strange jet protruding ...
Plasma is a state of matter that emerges when a gas is heated to sufficiently high temperatures, prompting some electrons to become free from atoms. This state of matter has been the focus of many astrophysical studies, as ...
New research has found that female crabs show significantly greater sensitivity to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from underwater power cables than males, which transmit electricity from offshore installations including wind ...
New UNSW research confirms that in the battle for survival, some animals win not with brawn, but with bling, putting to bed a debate that has puzzled generations of scientists. The study is published in the journal Ecology ...
Much as we may treasure and proclaim our independence, we actually live in a protective bubble called the heliosphere.
