Applying quantum-impurity theory to quantum fluids of light
A Monash-led study develops a new approach to directly observe correlated, many-body states in an exciton-polariton system that go beyond classical theories.
The study expands...
Study traces spread of early dairy farming across Western Europe
A study has tracked the shift from hunter-gatherer lifestyles to early farming that occurred in prehistoric Europe over a period of around 1,500 years.

New species of turtle discovered
Together with an international team, Senckenberg scientist Uwe Fritz described a new species of mata mata turtle based on genetic analyses. Until now, it...
Big data reveals we’re running out of time to save environment and ourselves
The use of big data can help scientists chart not only the degradation of the environment but can be part of the solution to...
New high-energy-density physics research provides insights about the universe
Atoms and molecules behave very differently at extreme temperatures and pressures. Although such extreme matter doesn't exist naturally on the earth, it exists in...
Non-invasive imaging technique could reduce need for repeat cancer surgeries
A team of University of Alberta engineers is refining a new imaging technique that could reduce the number of repeat surgeries patients undergo to...
The best material for homemade face masks may be a combination of two fabrics
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people wear masks in public. Because N95...
Researchers watch the dynamics of plasmonic skyrmions made from light on ultra-smooth gold platelets...
The destructive force of a tornado occurs due to the extremely high rotational speeds in its center, which is called a vortex. Surprisingly, similar...
Seismic map of North America reveals geologic clues, earthquake hazards
How do mountains form? What forces are needed to carve out a basin? Why does the Earth tremble and quake?
Earth scientists pursue these fundamental...
