PhysicsPhosphoroscope A phosphoroscope is a piece of experimental equipment invented by physicist A. E. Becquerel in 1857 to measure how long it takes a phosphorescent material…
PhysicsPhosphorescence Phosphorescence, like fluorescence, is a type of photoluminescence. When exposed to shorter wavelength light (radiation), a phosphorescent substance will glow, absorbing the light and reemitting…
AstronomyWe’ve Just Edged Closer to Settling the Dark Matter Controversy With a New Look at “Einstein rings” Encircling far-off Galaxies According to physicists, the majority of the universe’s matter is composed of an invisible material that humans can only detect indirectly by its effects on…
PhysicsLuminescence According to the IUPAC definition, Luminescence is the “spontaneous emission of radiation from an electronically excited species (or from a vibrationally excited species) that is…
EngineeringUsing an Extremely Tough Gel Electrolyte Protective Layer to Extend the Life of a Lithium Metal Anode By creating a mechanically very robust polymeric gel electrolyte and incorporating it into the battery as a layer to protect the lithium metal anode, a…
PhysicsPhotoluminescence Photoluminescence is a phenomenon in which a material emits light after absorbing photons. It is a type of luminescence, which refers to the emission of…
AstronomyThe Large Magellanic Cloud is Being Held in Place by the Gravity of the Milky Way The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf galaxy observable with the unaided eye in the Southern Hemisphere, is the greatest nearest partner of our galaxy.…
PhysicsPhotonic Molecules Photonic molecules are a theoretical natural form of matter that can also be created artificially in which photons bind to form “molecules.” They were predicted…
PhysicsFluorescence Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. It is a phenomenon that occurs when a…
BiologyGain-of-Function Analysis is a Common and Crucial Method in Every Biology Study, According to Scientists The phrase “gain of function” is frequently used to describe virus research that may endanger the public health in exchange for dubious benefits. Even though…
AgricultureA Novel Protein that Regulates the Creation of Strawberries’ Red Color has been Discovered by Researchers The University of Cordoba’s research team has identified a new transcription factor that controls the development of the anthocyanins that give strawberries their red color…
EngineeringA New Study Reduces Demand Spikes, Improves Grid Reliability, and Lowers Costs Policymakers and utility corporations are growing more worried about how severe weather could affect the country’s power systems. Texas’ electrical networks have recently undergone a…
