Sound waves replace human hands in petri dish experiments
Mechanical engineers at Duke University have demonstrated a set of prototypes for manipulating particles and cells in a Petri dish using sound waves. The...
AI used to show how hydrogen becomes a metal inside giant...
Dense metallic hydrogen—a phase of hydrogen which behaves like an electrical conductor—makes up the interior of giant planets, but it is difficult to study...
Massive halo finally explains stream of gas swirling around the Milky...
The Milky Way is not alone in its neighborhood. It has captured smaller galaxies in its orbit, and the two largest are known as...
Researchers design system to visualize objects through clouds and fog
Like a comic book come to life, researchers at Stanford University have developed a kind of X-ray vision—only without the X-rays. Working with hardware...
