New finding confirms a prediction made more than half a century ago
Device could be used to power microelectronics like microchips
New coating material inhibits the build-up of proteins, reducing risk of blood clots
New approach could aid “multimessenger” astronomy by quickly locating sources of gravitational waves emitted during these cosmic events
The technique can now be used to image viscoelastic properties of biological samples much more quickly and safely, at high resolution
Hypothetical fourth neutrino flavour is absent from new data from Fermilab's NOvA experiment
Effect observed in 2020 arises from changes in nuclear structure, not new physics
New coarser-grained alloys are strong enough to challenge stainless steel and titanium as materials for orthopaedic implants, say researchers
New simulations reveal that the climate, atmospheric chemistry and even global photosynthesis would be dramatically disrupted by an asteroid collision
New finding could pave the way to a sustainable perovskite solar economy
