July will see the launch of the groundbreaking Solar EruptioN Integral Field Spectrograph mission, or SNIFS. Delivered to space via a Black Brant IX sounding rocket, SNIFS will explore the energy and dynamics of the chromosphere, ...
Researchers at Forschungszentrum Jülich have successfully created the world's first experimentally verified two-dimensional half metal—a material that conducts electricity using electrons of just one spin type: either ...
As aeroengine thrust-to-weight ratios continue to improve, the operating temperature of their hot-end components has risen steadily, placing stricter demands on the performance of temperature sensors. Among potential solutions, ...
You may not have realized it yet, but the United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) School of Engineering have cracked a major challenge in display technology by inventing the world's brightest and most energy efficient quantum rod ...
Scientists at the U. S. Department of Energy Ames National Laboratory and Iowa State University have discovered an unexpected "quantum echo" in a superconducting material. This discovery provides insight into quantum behaviors ...
When most growers plant corn, they expect perfect, uniform rows and plump and pearly yellow kernels lining the cob. But a group of USDA Agricultural Research Service scientists intentionally plant the misfits—some gnarled ...
On its record-breaking pass by the sun late last year, NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured stunning new images from within the sun's atmosphere. These newly released images—taken closer to the sun than we've ever been before—are ...
Researchers in the Oregon State University College of Engineering have developed new technology for uranium enrichment measurement and trace element detection, vital for nuclear nonproliferation and supporting the development ...
A few years ago, physicists were surprised to learn that stacking and subtly twisting two atomically thin layers of an electronic material like graphene creates a pattern that changes the material's properties and can even ...
