Diamonds can be bent, stretched and reformed to its original shape, if grown in tiny needle-like shapes. It could be stretched by as much as 9% without breaking. These results could open the new possibilities for diamond-based...
Researchers have discovered an interesting way to create and remove magnets in an alloy of iron and aluminum. They’ve used laser pulses of 100 femtoseconds to switch the ferromagnetic ordering reversibly. This could have a...
Scientists discover how to eliminate the primary genetic risk factor of Alzheimer’s disease – Apolipoprotein E. They examined the effect of apolipoprotein E on human brain cells for the first time. To fix this faulty...
Physicists collide lead ions to create a Quark-Gluon Plasma at the Large Hadron Collider. The collision creates high-energy partons, which further split into two or more partons. It gives new insights of color coherence and other properties of...
In an experiment, physicists created a 3D skyrmion – a theoretical quasiparticle. They used experimental approaches originally designed for creating topological defects. The outcomes could inspire new methods to keep plasma intact...
BioLumic has built a new system by integrating UV photobiology and engineering into UV treatment that increases crop yield. It also improves pest and disease resistance, and refines color and flavor profiles. A New Zealand-based startup named...
Physicists have developed a new form of photonics matter by sticking three photons together under certain conditions. The bound-photons have a fraction of mass of electron and move about 100,000 times slower than usual non-interacting photons...
For the first time, ALMA observed a gas torus rotating around a central supermassive black hole of M77 galaxy. The compact gaseous structure is 40 light-years (380 trillion kilometers) wide in diameters. Almost all galaxies in the...
In 2015, physicists created a tiny magnetic wormhole to connect 2 different space regions. This is something different from a gravitational blackhole, in which magnetic field can travel through an invisible tunnel. The results of the...
The Earth has very less amount of xenon than it should, and the reason behind this is still unclear. A new study suggests that it might be buried under the Earth’s core. Under high temperatures and pressure, Xenon might have reacted with...
Researchers have come up with a new method to measure brain’s electrical activity, without electrodes. They built Archon1, a light-sensitive protein, that ejects a fluorescent signal after it’s delivered into a brain cell. ...
Scientists used a data-driven approach for facial phenotyping that exploits partable as well as integrated data contained in 3D facial images. The study has a wide range of applications from early diagnosis, treatment planning in craniofacial...
