UC Berkeley physicists state that an individual’s physical attraction to hot bodies is real. To be clear, the physicists are not talking about sexual attraction towards a “hot” human body. However, the researchers have demonstrated that a glowing object in fact attracts atoms, opposing to what most people – including physicists– would guess.
Nature stimulates innovation. An international research team led by researchers at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, along with ESRF -the European Synchrotron, Grenoble, France- scientists, has exposed how a brittle star can form material like tempered glass underwater.
For more than six and a half decades, niobium boride (NbB) has been regarded a typical example of a superconducting material. This presumption has been noted down in manuals related to physics of condensed matter and scientific articles journals, and has at present been challenged in a research carried out by scientists from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and from San Diego State University, United States.
Duke University Researchers have now devised a way to see through walls with the help of a narrow band of microwave frequencies without any advance knowledge of what the walls are developed from.
Uranium is capable of performing reactions that earlier no one thought could be possible, and these reactions are now capable of converting the way industry makes polymers, bulk chemicals, and the precursors to new plastics and drugs, based on latest findings from The University of Manchester.
Methane is the main constituent of natural gas. The direct oxidation of this compound into methanol at low temperatures has traditionally been a holy grail.
The heat generated in electronic devices (e.g. computers) is generally wasted. At present, physicists from Bielefeld University have come up with a technique to put the waste heat to good use—they use the heat to produce magnetic signals called as “spin currents.”
A new catalyst, referring to a substance capable of activating oxidation processes in low-reactive components of gas and oil, has been developed by a team of scientists from the Research Institute of Chemistry (RIC) of RUDN University in collaboration with colleagues from major scientific centers.
In a number of countries carbon dioxide (CO2) capture remains a priority as the world looks to tackle climate change. Particularly, the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reveals that geological storage of CO2 is needed for all scenarios that can meet 430 - 550 ppm CO2 atmospheric concentrations.
The potential to trap and control electrons and other quasi-particles in order to study isolated single particles and also many-body systems in a solid-state environment can be of great importance for understanding the behavior of correlated electrons in technologically applicable materials.
