Team at Borexino shows it is possible to have directional and energy sensitivity when studying solar neutrinos
A group of researchers working with data from the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso in Italy, has shown that it is possible to measure solar neutrinos with both directional and energy sensitivity. ...
Light derails electrons through graphene
The way electrons flow in a material determines its electronic properties. For example, when a voltage is sustained across a conducting material, electrons start flowing, generating an electrical current. These electrons ...

A new record for laser stability across atmospheric distances
A team of researchers at the University of Western Australia has set a record for stability when sending a laser beam across an atmospheric distance. The group describes their laser system in the journal Physical Review Letters.
Owl wing design reduces aircraft, wind turbine noise pollution
Trailing-edge noise is the dominant source of sound from aeronautical and turbine engines like those in airplanes, drones, and wind turbines. Suppressing this noise pollution is a major environmental goal for some urban areas.
