It’s a regrettable reality that there is never enough time to cover all the interesting scientific stories we come across ...

Abstract: The performance of bipolar transistors used in bandgap voltage reference (BGR) can be degraded by strong radiation, which usually appears in high energy physics experiments. This paper ...

Scientists have pulled off a feat long considered out of reach: getting light to mimic the famous quantum Hall effect. In ...

The squeaking of sneakers on a gym floor is usually attributed to friction, specifically a stick-slip variety that involves cycles of sticking and sliding between two surfaces. But that model is best ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. The electrical energy generated by thunderstorms can make our hair stand up, and even create ...

Researchers at the University of Tuebingen, working with an international team, have developed an artificial intelligence that designs entirely new, sometimes unusual, experiments in quantum physics ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...

The Andromeda Paradox exposes a troubling idea hidden inside Einstein’s relativity. It suggests that two observers, moving differently, may disagree on what events are happening right now — even ...

The design of modern particle physics detectors can become a strong benchmark for contemporary machine-learning techniques. It offers a realistic large-scale optimization task grounded in ...

For over a decade, confusion over the size of the proton has held scientists back. Disagreeing measurements of the subatomic particle’s radius meant that scientists couldn’t test one of their key ...

Abstract: The largely unexplored underwater world has strong and multifaceted ties with our lives. There are numerous ocean-related areas and applications, such as oceanography, climate, pollution, ...
