Tachyons are hypothetical particles that always travel faster than light. Until recently, they were generally regarded as entities that did not fit into...
Metal-free organic 3-bromo-2-thienyl diketones exhibit fast and highly efficient room-temperature phosphorescence with high color purity under various...
A team of physicists and chemists has discovered a previously unknown way in which light interacts with matter, a finding that could lead to improved solar...
A team of physicists led by Dr. Yuan Lu from the Université de Lorraine’s Institut Jean Lamour has used electrical pulses to manipulate magnetic information...
Scientists at Aalto University have proposed a three-dimensional metamaterial with an isotropic effect in the visible spectral range.
The new metamaterial...

An international team of physicists has demonstrated the potential use of multimode optical fiber to scale up power in fiber lasers by three-to-nine times...
Urbanization now exposes large portions of the Earth to sources of anthropogenic disturbance, driving rapid environmental change and producing novel environments....
The hogfish (Lachnolaimus maximus), a common fish in the western Atlantic Ocean from North Carolina to Brazil, is known for its color-changing skin. The...
The gravitationally lensed Supernova (SN) Refsdal was discovered by University of Minnesota astronomer Patrick Kelly in 2014 in the field of MACS J1149.6+2223,...
AT2021lwx occurred nearly 8 billion years ago and was more than 10 times brighter than any known supernova explosion. The event was likely caused by the...
A team of materials scientists from Empa (Swiss Federal Laboratory for Science and Technology) and the Slovak University of Technology has developed a...
Physicists have developed a novel theory describing a new state of light, which has controllable quantum properties over a broad range of frequencies,...
A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has developed a multilayered fluidic system that can reduce the energy costs of heating, cooling and...
The robot’s design is inspired by the seed of dandelion, resembling several biomimetic features, i.e., high porosity, lightweight, and separated vortex...
Intracluster light is diffuse light from stars that are gravitationally bound not to individual member galaxies, but to the halo of galaxy clusters. In...
The novel method, developed by nuclear physicists at the STAR detector of the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), relies on particles of light that...
Astronomers with the SKYSURF project have searched through 200,000 archival images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and made tens of thousands...
A light pillar is an optical phenomenon where a column of light can be seen emanating from a light source. If the light comes from the Sun, the phenomenon...
