Researchers propose a new methodology to develop a periodic table for molecules with different types of symmetries. This new approach is strongly supported by many quantum mechanical calculations and various existing molecules. In 1869, a Russian...
The new ultra-black material absorbs more than 99.995% of incoming light from all angles. It is 10 times darker than Vantablack, the previous record holder for darkness. In 2014, scientists created the world’s darkest material capable of...
String theory says that indivisible subatomic particles are made of tiny little strings vibrating in a specific pattern. Each vibrational pattern corresponds to a different particles. Electron is nothing but a string vibrating in one pattern, and a...
Researchers investigate aspects of human aging in a small study. They found evidence that the biological age of a person can be reversed. The results seem promising and researchers will try to replicate them in an appropriately large follow-up study...
There is certainly no single genetic signature for determining same-sex sexual behavior. The conclusion is based on a large study that involved more than 493,000 people. Instead, there are a bunch of small genetic factors and environmental...
The new wood membrane can remove water contaminants using far less energy than commercially available membrane. Its thermal efficiency, water flux, sustainability, and scalability make it a perfect material for membrane distillation applications. ...
Physicists can now control an elusive sound particle called phonon. It can be used in prototype quantum computers to store and process data. Using phonons in quantum computers could have several computing advantages over photons. In condensed...
Researchers present a new version of the periodic table in which it is turned through 180 degrees on a horizontal axis. The orientation eliminates some confusion associated with the original periodic table. It may create some new thinking and give...
The clouds on Venus are comprised of unusual dark patches made of tiny particles. Astronomers like Carl Sagan have long speculated that these patches could be extraterrestrial microorganisms. Whatever these patches are made of, they are greatly...
The maximum possible mass of the lightest neutrino is 1.5 x 10-37 Kilograms. Determining the mass of the neutrinos can help scientists precisely measure the acceleration of the universe. The mass of the neutrino — an elementary particle...
