In a recent study, calculated water loss rates as well as geophysical water release rates favor the idea that the outermost, more massive planets retain their water
The world’s most sensitive dark matter detector demonstrates record low radioactivity levels
New 41.4-tesla instrument paves way for breakthroughs in physics and materials research
Levitation techniques are no longer confined to the laboratory thanks to University of Bristol engineers
New research has shown how plasma causes exceptionally strong, microscopic structures known as carbon nanotubes to grow
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have shown that high-frequency alternating magnetic fields can be used to destroy bacteria that are encased in a slimy “biofilm” growing on a metal surface
A Washington University team, led by Lan Yang, the Edwin H. & Florence G. Skinner Professor of Electrical & Systems Engineering, has made major strides recently in the study and manipulation of light
New approach yields long-lasting configurations that could provide long-sought “qubit” material
SLAC’s ultrafast 'electron camera' reveals unusual atomic motions that could be crucial for the efficiency of next-generation perovskite solar cells
Recent results could inform ongoing efforts to detect dark matter directly, especially if researchers have a clear idea of what sorts of properties they should be seekin
A precise new way to study materials shows this ‘electron-phonon coupling’ can be far stronger than predicted, and could potentially play a role in unconventional superconductivity
The Higgs amplitude mode is a condensed matter cousin of the Higgs boson, the storied quantum particle theorized in the 1960s and proven experimentally in 2012
