Yale-NUS scientist and collaborators solve open theoretical problem on electron interactions
Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)
Electron behaviour is governed by two major theories - the Coulomb's law and the Fermi liquid theory. According to Fermi liquid theory, electrons in a conductiv...
The 2-D form of tungsten ditelluride is full of surprises
Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)
These 2-D materials can be prepared in crystalline sheets as thin as a single monolayer, only one or a few atoms thick. Within a monolayer, electrons are restri...
Wearable 'microbrewery' saves human body from radiation damage
Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)
But rather than building portable cellars or ovens, Purdue University researchers have engineered yeast "microbreweries" within disposable badges made of freeze...
PhD student develops spinning heat shield for future spacecraft
Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)
Heat shields are essentially used as the brakes to stop spacecraft burning up and crashing on entry and re-entry into a planet's atmosphere. This design is the ...
Degrading plastics revealed as source of greenhouse gases
Aug 10, 2018 (SPX)
Mass production of plastics started nearly 70 years ago and the production rate is expected to double over the next two decades. While serving many applications...
NIST shows laser ranging can 'see' 3D objects melting in fires
Aug 09, 2018 (SPX)
Optical range measurements, already used in manufacturing and other fields, may help overcome practical challenges posed by structural fires, which are too hot ...
Facebook moves to stop sharing of 3D gun blueprints
Aug 09, 2018 (AFP)
"Sharing instructions on how to manufacture firearms using 3D printers or CNC milling machines is not allowed under our Community Standards," a Facebook spokesm...
NASA studies space applications for GaN crystals
Aug 09, 2018 (SPX)
Among its many attributes, gallium nitride - GaN, for short - demonstrates less electrical resistance and thus loses only a small proportion of power as heat. T...
It's Surprisingly Hard to Go to the Sun
Aug 09, 2018 (SPX)
Why is it so difficult? The answer lies in the same fact that keeps Earth from plunging into the Sun: Our planet is traveling very fast - about 67,000 miles per...
NASA poised to launch first Sun-skimming spaceship
Aug 08, 2018 (AFP)
After the Parker Solar Probe blasts off from Cape Canaveral, Florida on August 11, it will become the first spacecraft ever to fly through the Sun's scorching a...
Aboard the ISS, researchers investigate complex dust behavior in plasmas
Aug 08, 2018 (SPX)
PK-4 is a collaboration between the European Space Agency and the Russian State Space Corporation "Roscosmos" to investigate complex plasmas. Complex or dusty p...
Northrop Grumman tapped for E-2D radar plane upgrades
Aug 08, 2018 (UPI)
The order, announced Tuesday by the Department of Defense, provides for the procurement of 45 items of Peculiar Support Equipment for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye ...
Loft Orbital announces inSpace mission partner program to standardize access to space
Aug 08, 2018 (SPX)

Blasting tiny craters in glass, creating material to miniaturize telecommunication devices
Aug 07, 2018 (SPX)
In the Journal of Applied Physics, from AIP Publishing, investigators from the University of Leeds report on a laser-assisted study of a type of glass that show...
A new classification of symmetry groups in crystal space proposed by Russian scientists
Aug 07, 2018 (SPX)
In particular, these ways include the principle of close packing for crystals of inorganic compounds with undirected bonds and the principle of close packing of...
UCF professor discovers a first-of-its-kind material for the quantum age
Aug 07, 2018 (SPX)
Researchers are entering the Quantum Age, and instead of using silicon to advance technology they are finding new quantum materials, conductors that have the ab...
