The world’s largest turbulence simulation, known as the “Astro-Giga-Turbulence” simulation, uses supercomputers to simulate the flow of energy in astrophysical plasmas. These simulations help scientists…

Quantum computing relies on the properties of quantum mechanics, which are different from classical mechanics, to perform certain types of computation. One important property of…

Gases can be imaged in rainbow colors through a technique called spectroscopy. Spectroscopy is the study of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. When…

One way to strengthen electron-triggered light emission is to increase the density of electrons being emitted. This can be achieved by using a material with…

Dynamic fractal scaling refers to the idea that certain properties of a system may exhibit self-similarity over a range of scales, and can be described…

Turning common wisdom on its head, a research team has shown that spontaneously produced plasma waves may be the answer to a long-standing issue with…

It’s possible that particles of light, also known as photons, could create fluid flow in certain circumstances. This idea is based on a theory known…

New waves with picometer-scale spatial fluctuations in electromagnetic fields have been found by Purdue University researchers, and they can go through semiconductors like silicon. The…

A method for quickly synthesizing a self-healing polymer gel composed of ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) polymers polymers with a molecular weight more than 106 g/mol…

Corrosion is the degradation of materials due to their reaction with their environment. In fusion reactors, corrosion can be a significant issue because of the…

A team from Nagoya University in Japan has found a previously unidentified variety of ruthenium phosphide that, when cooled, has a unique arrangement of atoms…

At the Simons Observatory in Northern Chile, some of the largest and most advanced telescopes ever manufactured are now being built. They are made to…
