Physics Sidewinder Snakes' Skin Explain How They Navigate Sandy Surfaces

02.02.2021 02:45 AM

Scientists looked at the skin-deep sidewinder snakes to understand how these snakes could navigate sandy surfaces, like the deserts in Africa, the Middle East, and North America.

Physicists Create Tunable Superconductivity in Nanosandwhich of Twisted Graphene

02.02.2021 00:28 AM

New research shows superconductivity behavior when tri-layer graphene is used with a magic angle. Researchers used two sheets of carbon allotropes -- graphene, stacked atop each other as it morphs into an unconventional superconductor that allows electric currents to pass through with no resistance or energy waste.

Aside From Pressure and Temperature, Small Electric Fields Found To Affect Diamond Formation

01.22.2021 02:00 AM

Most naturally-formed diamonds are from the Earth's mantle, generally understood to be formed as carbon is exposed to extreme temperature and pressure. A new study looks at the effects of a new parameter - electric fields - in the formation of these precious minerals.

01.21.2021 23:02 PM

A new material, classified as a perovskite, can reportedly convert sunlight to electricity as a potentially cheaper and more scalable alternative to today’s silicon-based solar cells.

On Making Flapping Drones: Understanding How Butterflies Fly Will Be Helpful

01.21.2021 22:06 PM

Butterflies create a pocket with their wings that added a thrust to take off. Scientists believe that understanding this can help in improving the design of flapping drones.

“Cotton-Candy” Exoplanet WASP-107b Apparently Has Less Core Mass Than Previously Thought

01.19.2021 03:30 AM

Astronomers from the University of Montreal (UdeM) discovered that the core mass for exoplanet WASP-107b is a lot lower than previously thought necessary to form giant gas planets such as Saturn and Jupiter.

Researchers Shed Light on How Cells Keep Moving Without Sticking to Surfaces

01.19.2021 01:18 AM

Cell velocity has long been speculated to be affected by the adhesive potential of the surface underneath it, although the exact mechanisms remain unknown. Now, a new study has answered this decades-long question.

One-Dimensional Quantum Gas: The New State of Matter

01.14.2021 22:16 PM

Scientists discover scar states and create one-dimensional quantum gas using Archimedes' screw.

Caltech Scientists Observe an Optical Chaotic System in Real-Time

01.14.2021 02:15 AM

Chaotic systems are systems that are sensitively dependent on initial conditions and, while appearing predictable at first, grows increasingly more random - and researchers have observed one such system using ultrafast cameras.

Physicists Expose Accidental Discovery of a New Quantum Particle

01.13.2021 02:30 AM

Princeton physicist has accidentally detected an unexpected quantum behavior in an insulator that was believed to be distinctive to metals.
