Merging pairs of black holes are thought to have originated from binary stars, but new observations indicate this might not always be true. More than [more…]
A new manufacturing technique to grow perovskite crystals for high-performance solar cells uses “face masks” to minimize imperfections. The transition from fossil fuels to renewable [more…]
An automated synthesis platform called Chemspeed reduces time and labor when searching for organic molecules as gain mediums in lasers. In recent years, lasers have [more…]
Einstein’s theory of general relativity, formulated in 1916, treats gravity as a deformation of spacetime as a result of different particles and fields. Together with [more…]
To optimize 3D printing, researchers apply machine learning to minimize waste and optimize structure during the printing process. 3D printing technologies are rapidly expanding to [more…]
Using the motion of sound waves through a superfluid liquid, scientists can model the Universe’s evolution on a reasonable time scale. Understanding how the Universe [more…]
A groundbreaking technique produces tetrataenite, a material used in permanent magnets only found in meteorites. Permanent magnets are widely used in industry, playing a particularly [more…]
Scientists put chiral perturbation theory to the test with a set of new experiments that have helped define fundamental properties of protons. Protons — building [more…]
Our understanding of elementary particles and their interactions is based on the Standard Model — to date the most accurate theory developed to describe the [more…]
Optimizing plasma instabilities within a nuclear fusion reactor will pave the way for its use as a clean source of perpetual energy. Nuclear fusion is [more…]
