“Polaritons are a peculiar state, a kind of quasi-particles consisting of part-light and part-matter that can bring unexpected abilities to conventional chemical reactions. New research reveals that when the polaritons are hit by very short pulses of light they collapse …
“How an exoplanet survived the rebellion of its home star. When stars, similar to the sun, have reached the end of their lifetime, they inflate into red giant stars. The sun, for example, would then have a diameter hundreds of …
“ESA’s recently launched Euclid telescope will rely on CERN software and computing infrastructure to help it map the effects of dark matter and dark energy on the Universe Today, at exactly 17.11 CEST, the European Space Agency’s …
“The disorganized arrangement of the proteins in light-harvesting complexes is the key to their extreme efficiency. When photosynthetic cells absorb light from the sun, packets of energy called photons leap between a series of light-harvesting proteins until they reach the …
“NASA is contributing to the European Space Agency mission, which will complement dark energy studies by the agency’s upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The ESA (European Space Agency) Euclid spacecraft lifted off from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station …
“Tunneling spectroscopy uncovers the clearest proof yet that this exotic superconducting state of matter exists without a magnetic field in an iron-based superconductor. In the field of superconductivity—the phenomenon in which electrons can flow through a material with essentially …
“A bold plan to grow seedlings on the Moon by 2026 has been funded by the Australian Government, in what could reveal a greater understanding of horticulture in extreme environments. The Australian Lunar Experiment Promoting Horticulture (ALEPH) project led by …
“Making history with 42 digits: Scientists at Paderborn University and KU Leuven have unlocked a decades-old mystery of mathematics with the so-called ninth Dedekind number. Experts worldwide have been searching for the value since 1991. The Paderborn scientists arrived at …
“The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting pairs that glide through materials without friction. When your laptop or smartphone heats up, it’s due to energy that’s lost in translation. The same goes for power lines that …
“BioAutoMATED, an open-source, automated machine-learning platform, aims to help democratize artificial intelligence for research labs. Is it possible to build machine-learning models without machine-learning expertise? Jim Collins, the Termeer Professor of Medical Engineering and Science in the Department of Biological …
