Simple and Cost-Effective Technology to Increase Speed Performance of Automated Microscopes

A Russian-Italian research team with scientists from Moscow’s National University of Science and Technology MISiS (NUST MISiS) and the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) in Naples, Italy, have developed ...

Hubble Space Telescope Reveals One of the Largest and Brightest Globular Clusters Ever Discovered

Although spherical clusters are perceived as innately stunning objects, the subject of Messier 3—the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image—is often recognized to be one among the most incredible of them all.

Researchers Use Quantum Mechanical Rules to Derive an Infinite Number of Quasi-Distributions

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle proves to be an obstacle for an external observer intending to measure the position and speed, or momentum, of a particle at the same instance.

Event Horizon Telescope Captures First Image of Supermassive Black Hole at the Heart of Distant Galaxy

The Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT for short, was specifically developed to capture images of a black hole. The EHT is a planet-scale range of eight ground-based radio telescopes forged via international collaboration.

Rovers of the Red Planet

If you ask a group of kids to name planets in our solar system, chances are Mars is going to be in the top 3. Mars has always been one of our faves. It’s possible that Mars is our potential ‘back up’ planet if the Earth decided to cark it or maybe it’s the allure of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Total Recall.

Novel Quantum Material Could Enable the Brain to Detect its Own Disease

Imagine the brain being able to find out its own disease? Scientists have been making efforts to develop a material that “thinks” similar to the brain, which would be more sensitive to early signs of neurological diseases like Parkinson’s.

Working Together as a “Virtual Telescope,” Observatories Around the World Produce First Direct Images of a Black Hole

An international team of over 200 astronomers, including scientists from MIT’s Haystack Observatory, has captured the first direct images of a black hole.

Researcher Finds that Symmetrical Bipolarons Form the Basis of High-Temperature Superconductivity

According to Viktor Lakhno, a Russian physicist from Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics, RAS, symmetrical bipolarons form the basis of high-temperature superconductivity.

Laser-Induced Electron Diffraction Used to Observe Bending and Stretching of Carbon Disulfide Molecule

Advanced techniques and instruments are required to be able to observe how molecules stretch, bend, transform, or break during chemical reactions.

New Zero-Power Carbon Interconnect Could Tap Electron Spin to Power Up Battery-Based Devices

In order to satisfy the Air Force’s requirements to create tech devices that need the least charging in the field, researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) are employing principles in quantum science and engineering to develop a graphene-based logic device.
