DNA damage caused by migrating light energy
Ultraviolet light endangers the integrity of human genetic information and may cause skin cancer. For the first time, researchers at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology...
Physicists ‘trick’ photons into behaving like electrons using a ‘synthetic’ magnetic...
Scientists have discovered an elegant way of manipulating light using a 'synthetic' Lorentz force—which in nature is responsible for many fascinating phenomena including the...
Hints of life on Venus: Scientists detect phosphine molecules in high...
An international team of astronomers, led by Professor Jane Greaves of Cardiff University, today announced the discovery of a rare molecule—phosphine—in the clouds of...
Animals’ magnetic ‘sixth’ sense may come from bacteria, new paper suggests
A University of Central Florida researcher is co-author of a new paper that may help answer why some animals have a magnetic 'sixth' sense,...
Arctic transitioning to a new climate state
The fast-warming Arctic has started to transition from a predominantly frozen state into an entirely different climate, according to a comprehensive new study of...
Attosecond pulses reveal electronic ripples in molecules
In the first experiment to take advantage of a new technology for producing powerful attosecond X-ray laser pulses, a research team led by scientists...
Scientists identify an enzyme that facilitates grafting between plants of different...
Scientists have found that the tobacco plant Nicotiana can maintain grafts between a broad range of species. Using Nicotiana as an intermediary, they succeeded...
Volcanic ash may have a bigger impact on the climate than...
When volcanos erupt, these geologic monsters produce tremendous clouds of ash and dust—plumes that can blacken the sky, shut down air traffic and reach...
The evolving chemistry of protoplanetary disks
Planets form from the gas and dust in disks that surround young stars. Chemicals in the disk that evaporate easily, called volatiles, include important...
Could there be a form of life inside stars?
Are we alone in the universe?
It is one of the most profound questions posed in modern astronomy. But although our understanding of the cosmos...
Nano-microscope gives first direct observation of the magnetic properties of 2-D...
Australian researchers and their colleagues from Russia and China have shown that it is possible to study the magnetic properties of ultrathin materials directly,...
