Researchers at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) have contributed to a study revealing that conventional theories ...

According to the results, ions in Earth's atmosphere are displaced by solar wind and shepherded along Earth's magnetic field lines. This happens most efficiently when the moon falls within the Earth's ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit.

Taking advantage of a phenomenon known as emergent behavior, engineers have designed simple microparticles that can collectively generate complex behavior. Working together, the microparticles can ...

A team at RMIT University in Melbourne say that extremely small metal particles – which they dub ‘nanodots’ – could be ...

The intervention may break down methane, mimicking a phenomenon that could have amplified ice ages. But scientists say far more basic research still needs to be done. Within the next 18 months, a Palo ...

Going to smaller and smaller distance scales reveals more fundamental views of nature, which means if we can understand and describe the smallest scales, we can build our way to an understanding of ...

Illustration of an array of ground-based detectors to characterize a cosmic ray shower. When high-energy cosmic particles strike the atmosphere, they produce a cascade of particles. By building a ...

Quantum particles are known to be strange or even “spooky.” But can those properties ever be useful? A new study proves that one type of wackiness—entanglement between identical particles—has ...

Some technical revolutions enter with drama and a bang, others wriggle unnoticed into our everyday experience. And one of the quietest revolutions of our current century has been the entry of quantum ...
