PHYSICS & MATHThe remnants of ancient human migration traits. How does a biological geomagnetic sense work? The Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field, generated by the movement of the planet's liquid core.
A look into making an everyday unnoticed luxury. Glass is one of those everyday luxuries that over the years has become an unnoticed magic of science. Glass is used in every country, it can be found in every building and every car.
There's not a single pulp of wood in the US dollar. Whether we choose to admit it or not, money is the single most important element in life. Without money you couldn't eat, you would have no home, no clothes and sadly, very few friends.
Nanoscale patterning could enable precise manipulation of objects on many scales Researchers at Caltech have designed a way to levitate and propel objects using only light, by creating specific nanoscale patterning on the objects' surfaces.
Data from 1994 to 2007 of carbon dioxide in ocean sinks determined ETH Zurich environmental physics professor Nicolas Gruber and his team have determined the ocean sink from 1994 to 2007.
Scientists discover another option for semiconductors Standford University researchers developed a technique in measuring the quality of quantum dots in comparison with single crystal semiconductors.
Proof of an existing Multiverse is theoretically inevitable. The Universe is constantly expanding, and at an accelerated rate. Even with today's most advanced technology, the edge of the Universe could never be seen.
Another debunking of the flat earth theory We all know the Earth is round--right? Well, apparently not all of us. There is an actual group of people, the Flat Earth Society, who whole-heartedly believe that the earth is flat.
An international research team has developed a new method of synthesizing miniature light sources. It is based on a special laser which produces millions of nanolasers from a perovskite film in a few minutes. Such lasers look like small disks, work at room temperature and have an tunable emission wavelength from 550 to 800 nm.
Physicists discover a method on how to unscramble information embedded in black holes University of Maryland scientists provided information from an experiment about the use of quantum mechanics to obtain data inside a black hole which is contrary to modern physics that states that information will be lost forever after being consumed in a black hole.
Electrons are found to spin like planets Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers discovered planet-like spinning electrons that could innovate solar cells, electronic displays, lasers, and in lighting.
Researchers at IST Austria find new property of important physical model; results published in PNAS (Photo : Moritz Lang) The so-called Abelian sandpile model has been studied by scientists for more than 30 years to better understand a physical phenomenon called self-organized criticality, which appears in a plethora of real-life situations such as the coordinated firing of brain cells, the spread of forest fires, the distribution of earth quake magnitudes and even in the coordinated behavior of ant colonies.
