Magnetism can spontaneously emerge in a non-magnetic metallic disk if it is illuminated by linear polarized light. Researchers theorize a new technique to create material properties ‘on-demand’. Magnetism is caused by the...
A new study shows deep magmas have more than 10 weight-percent of water. We need to develop a new technique to analyze how much water is actually present in magma. Few things in nature are impressive and frightening at the same time. Magma is one...
Einstein’s theory of general relativity might not be the only correct explanation of gravity’s role in the formation and evolution of the universe. Supercomputer simulations show that galaxies could still form in the universe under...
The new technique can image the structural changes of individual molecules upon charging with unprecedented resolution. It can resolve minute changes in aromaticity, adsorption geometry, and bond-order relations. Charging and discharging of a...
Indian scientists develop a new material — black gold — with unique properties. It can be used for various applications ranging from nano-heater and desalinating seawater to solar energy harvesting. Pollution has become one of the...
Neuroscientists have reverse engineered the information that characterizes an individual’s facial identity and rendered it graphically. They have built 3D facial models using key details stored in an individual’s brain. Every time you...
Physicists manage to teleport information within a diamond. The breakthrough could shape how we store and share sensitive data in the future. Quantum teleportation, a phenomenon most commonly used in sci-fi movies, is used to send a quantum bit...
While studying beams with highly structured angular momentum, researchers discover a new property of light: self-torque. They experimentally generated a light beam with this new property. In physics, light is referred to as electromagnetic...
Researchers mix crude oil with water by significantly raising the pressure and temperature of the composition. The outcomes allow a deeper investigation of the structure and composition of crude oil. Crude oil is currently the most valuable source...
Scientists create a new ‘glowing protein’ that can advance fluorescence microscopy. Unlike other green fluorescent protein, it is miniature, thermostable (up to 68°C), and doesn’t require oxygen to emit light. The discovery of a...
Scientists had previously assumed that Earth’s mantle doesn’t contribute anything to planet’s magnetism. The new study has proved this assumption wrong. Iron oxide in the Earth’s mantle can retain magnetism at temperatures...
The new instrument allows heat to temporarily flow from cold region to hot region without using any external energy. The process occurs through a series of quasi-equilibrium states, and completely obeys the second law of thermodynamics. What...
