The U.S. military is rapidly advancing high-energy laser weapons as a cost-effective alternative to traditional missile defense. While the cost per shot is significantly lower, operational limitations ...

Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, in collaboration with research groups from the Łódź University of Technology, the ...

TPU researchers as part of an international collaboration have developed a strategy for rational supramolecular design. It makes it possible to control the strength of the exchange interaction in ...

A Chinese research team has produced bulk hexagonal diamond, a crystal structure long theorized to be harder than ...

When particles in volcanic ash cloud rub together, some pick up positive charge and others negative – now physicists have ...

Controlling light at the micro- and nanoscale opens up opportunities for a better understanding of the world and the development of technology. As modern electronics approaches the limits of its ...

Yet swarms of fireflies clearly exercise a level of control over when they light up, and they do so only in specialized organs, and those are aspects scientists are still keen to understand better.

Physicists have long pondered if there’s a way to form glass with minimal entropy, known as “ideal glass.” A team of scientists may have proven its possible.

New work could help design electronic devices in which heat can be guided in certain directions, minimizing heat loss ...
