Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, in cooperation with Sandia National Laboratories, have successfully created photon pairs at several different frequencies using resona…

August 26th 2022Jeremy D. Bailoo Did you know that the study of animals often leads to a host of other applications beyond cures for humans? One field in particular, that of bio-inspired designs, o…

Twenty-first century technologies, including those central to a low-carbon future, rely on rare earth elements and metals. Many of these sought-after minerals reside in porphyry copper deposits that contain hundreds of millions of metric tons of ore. In addit…

Kikina will be part of Space X's Crew-5 mission to the ISS on October 3, joined by Japan's Koichi Wakata and NASA astronauts Nicole Mann and Josh Cassada.

"The object could warp into the structure you want," say researchers

A team of researchers from Nanjing University, working with two colleagues from the University of Science and Technology of China, has conducted new tests of the chameleon theory and report a failure to find any evidence of a fifth force. They have published …

Wrinkling of confined shells. Wrinkle patterns result when initially curved shells are confined nearby a plane. a,b, Simulations and experiments of square cutouts from a saddle (a) and

Direct visualization of the structural transformation from pre-pore to pore of the mammalian immune defense complex perforin-2 (PFN2) reveals a clockwise hand-over-hand mechanism that propagates at ~15 subunits per second.

Scientists have discovered the fossil for an enormous sea creature that ruled the oceans 66 million years ago.

Save the date: this year’s 11th annual ESA Open Day at ESTEC in the Netherlands is confirmed to take place on Sunday 2 October. One of a string of ‘ESA Days’ across Member States, this is the day when the gates of the Agency’s technical heart will be thrown o…

NASA is set to launch its most powerful rocket ever on Monday for a crucial, long-overdue test mission, sending an unpiloted Orion crew capsule on a

A maximum latewood density based summer temperature reconstruction from eastern Canada shows recent warming is unprecedented over 1246 years, and tropical volcanism synchronizes regional and hemispheric summer temperatures at the multidecadal time scale.

A team of researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Syracuse University and the University of Pennsylvania, has developed a means for showing how a certain piece of material wrinkles after it has been flattened. In their paper published in the j…

How will we grow food in space? That’s one question Michigan State University’s Federica Brandizzi has been particularly interested in solving. Brandizz

Researchers have found a new mechanism that fundamentally alters the interaction between optically levitated nanoparticles. Their experiment demonstrates previously unattainable levels of control over the coupling in arrays of particles, thereby creating a ne…

Does rapid eye movement during sleep reveal where you're looking at in the scenery of dreams, or are they simply the result of random jerks of our eye muscles? Since the discovery of REM sleep in the early 1950s, the significance of these rapid eye movements …

Next Monday's Artemis launch will be an uncrewed first flight, headed into orbit around the moon. Yet technology previously worn by ESA astronauts on the International Space Station has also been hard-mounted aboard the NASA-ESA Orion module.

After overcoming numerous technical delays and a global pandemic, the launch now faces its most intractable challenge to date - the weather

What is the difference between citation and reference? Differences between citation and reference in research with examples.

A chromosome-level genome assembly for the rice pest, Chlorops oryzae, pinpoints molecular pathways that might contribute toward increased outbreaks for this important crop pest.

Crops and other plants are often under attack from bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. When a plant senses a microbial invasion, it makes radical changes in the chemical soup of proteins…

For the first time in 50 years, a spacecraft is preparing to launch on a journey to the moon. The Artemis I mission, including the Space Launch System Rocket and Orion spacecraft, is targeting liftoff on August 29 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. …

The team wanted to keep the helicopter warmed up for future use, so the 30th flight was a quick hop similar to flight number two.

How much information do you have about the Sun? NASA and other international space agencies monitor the Sun 24x7 with a fleet of spacecraft, studying everything from its atmosphere to its surface, and even peering inside the Sun using special instruments. Her…
