In lunar samples from a Chinese mission, scientists have found a fresh and renewable source of water on the moon for upcoming explorers. In the lunar soil where meteorite impacts
Gigahertz femtosecond lasers are well suited to improve and control laser machining quality and engineer the physicochemical properties of materials. Gigahertz femtosecond lasers are used
X-rays made up of high-energy photons—the same kind used for medical imaging—were produced by a lightning discharge in the early 2000s, according to scientists. Researchers were able to duplicate this
Using a new platform for topological physics research in nanoscale devices, Cambridge researchers have identified a novel topological phase in a two-dimensional system. In physics
Electromagnetic radiation is the main way that hot bodies release heat. Examples of technologies based on this physical phenomenon include lightbulbs and night vision equipment.
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is designed to test whether a spacecraft impact can deflect an asteroid's trajectory, should a potentially hazardous asteroid be detected in the future.
Enceladus, the sixth biggest of Saturn's 83 moons, has long been regarded by astronomers as one of the more intriguing bodies in our solar system,
A novel type of nanoparticle that can be injected into the lungs and deliver messenger RNA encoding useful proteins has been developed by scientists at
Researchers have witnessed the mesmerizing process of nanoparticles self-assembling into solid materials for the first time ever. In the stunning new videos, particles fall, tumble down stairs, and slide around
