Researchers capture an image of negative capacitance in action
For the first time ever, an international team of researchers imaged the microscopic state of negative capacitance. This novel result provides researchers with fundamental,...
Enhanced NMR reveals chemical structures in a fraction of the time
MIT researchers have developed a way to dramatically enhance the sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), a technique used to study the structure...
Classic double-slit experiment in a new light
An international research team led by physicists from the University of Cologne has implemented a new variant of the basic double-slit experiment using resonant...
Researchers develop smart micro-robots that can adapt to their surroundings
One day, hospital patients might be able to ingest tiny robots that deliver drugs directly to diseased tissue, thanks to research being carried out...
Researchers examine how musicians communicate non-verbally during performance
A team of researchers from McMaster University has discovered a new technique to examine how musicians intuitively coordinate with one another during a performance,...
Mystery orbits in outermost reaches of solar system not caused by ‘Planet Nine’
The strange orbits of some objects in the farthest reaches of our solar system, hypothesised by some astronomers to be shaped by an unknown...
Nanoparticle breakthrough in the fight against cancer
A recent study, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has introduced a novel targeted drug delivery system in...
Waves in Saturn’s rings give precise measurement of planet’s rotation rate
Saturn's distinctive rings were observed in unprecedented detail by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, and scientists have now used those observations to probe the interior of...
Biologists discover deep-sea fish living where there is virtually no oxygen
Oxygen—it's a basic necessity for animal life. But marine biologists recently discovered large schools of fishes living in the dark depths of the Gulf...
Genes reveal clues about people’s potential life expectancy
Scientists say they can predict whether a person can expect to live longer or die sooner than average, by looking at their DNA.
The team...
High-speed supernova reveals earliest moments of a dying star
An international team of scientists, including astronomers from the Universities of Leicester, Bath and Warwick, have found evidence for the existence of a 'hot...
