Fast radio bursts—intense, milliseconds-long flashes of radio energy from outer space—have puzzled astronomers since they were first spotted in 2007. A single burst can emit as much energy in its brief life as the Sun does in a few days.
A team of space scientists from Finland, Greece and the U.S. has found evidence showing that polarized optical emissions observed during a tidal disruption event were caused by colliding streams of material from a destroyed star. In their study, reported in t…
Jiangnan University team creates new printing paste and improved curing technique to enhance 3D printing efficiency and remove need for support structures.
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute have created a synthetic metabolic pathway that converts carbon dioxide into formaldehyde via formic acid, offering a carbon-neutral method for producing valuable materials. New synthetic metabolic pathways for the fixat…
A multi-institute research team based in China has fabricated a novel family of metallic compounds, each of which exhibit unique properties desirable for next-generation technologies.
Modeling Longer-Lived Holes in Silicon Quantum Dots To Advance the Development of Quantum Computers RIKEN physicists have developed a theoretical model to optimize semiconductor nanodevices, demonstrating that carefully designed quantum dots can create robust…
