Earth may be 140 years away from reaching carbon levels not seen in 56...
A new study shows humans are pumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere at a rate nine to 10 times higher than the greenhouse gas...
Earth’s atmosphere stretches out to the moon – and beyond
The gaseous layer that wraps around Earth reaches up to 630,000 kilometers away, or 50 times the diameter of our planet, according to a...
Engineers can detect ultra rare proteins in blood using a cellphone camera
One of the frontiers of medical diagnostics is the race for more sensitive blood tests. The ability to detect extremely rare proteins could make...
In the blink of an eye: Team uses quantum of light to create new...
Imagine being stuck inside a maze and wanting to find your way out. How would you proceed? The answer is trial and error. This...
New machine learning technique rapidly analyzes nanomedicines for cancer immunotherapy
EVANSTON, Ill.— With their ability to treat a wide a variety of diseases, spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) are poised to revolutionize medicine. But before these digitally...
Astronomers publish sky map of thousands of newly discovered galaxies
An international team of more than 200 astronomers from 18 countries has published the first phase of a major new radio sky survey at...
New imaging technology captures movement of quantum particles with unprecedented resolution
Excitons—electrically neutral quasiparticles—have extraordinary properties. They exist only in semiconducting and insulating materials and can be easily accessed in two-dimensional (2D) materials just a...
Observation of quantized heating in quantum matter
Shaking a physical system typically heats it up, in the sense that the system continuously absorbs energy. When considering a circular shaking pattern, the...
Confirming a source of the process behind auroras and the formation of stars
Fast magnetic reconnection, the rapid convergence, separation and explosive snapping together of magnetic field lines, gives rise to northern lights, solar flares and geomagnetic...
A polariton filter turns ordinary laser light into quantum light
An international team of researchers led out of Macquarie University has demonstrated a new approach for converting ordinary laser light into genuine quantum light.
Their...
How our plants have turned into thieves to survive
Scientists have discovered that grasses are able to short cut evolution by taking genes from their neighbours. The findings suggest wild grasses are naturally...
