Nuclear physicists leap into quantum computing with first simulations of atomic nucleus
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are the first to successfully simulate an atomic nucleus using a quantum computer. The...
Scientists introduce cosmochemical model for Pluto formation
Southwest Research Institute scientists integrated NASA's New Horizons discoveries with data from ESA's Rosetta mission to develop a new theory about how Pluto may...
A world of parasites
Alex Betts, Craig MacLean and Kayla King from the Department of Zoology, shed light on their recent research published in Science, which addressed the...
Scientists discover new magnetic element
A new experimental discovery, led by researchers at the University of Minnesota, demonstrates that the chemical element ruthenium (Ru) is the fourth single element...
New materials, heated under high magnetic fields, could produce record levels of energy, model...
Imagine being able to power your car partly from the heat that its engine gives off. Or what if you could get a portion...
Why bioelectrodes for energy conversion are not stable
Researchers at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum have discovered why bioelectrodes containing the photosynthesis protein complex photosystem I are not stable in the long term. Such...
How stratospheric life is teaching us about the possibility of extreme life on other...
The presence of microbial life in Earth's stratosphere is not only opening up a new arena in which to study extremophiles, but is increasing...
Bumblebees confused by iridescent colors
Iridescence is a form of structural colour which uses regular repeating nanostructures to reflect light at slightly different angles, causing a colour-change effect.
It is...
Highly luminescent inks made from copper-iodine hybrid clusters with aggregation-induced emission
Chinese scientists have turned copper–iodine cluster molecules into aggregated, highly luminescent nanostructures for use in light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The solid-state assemblies made of complexes...
New theory finds ‘traffic jams’ in jet stream cause abnormal weather patterns
The sky sometimes has its limits, according to new research from two University of Chicago atmospheric scientists.
A study published May 24 in Science offers...
Nanoparticles carrying two drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier and shrink glioblastoma tumors
Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor, is one of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. Only a handful of drugs are approved to treat glioblastoma,...
