[ad_1] New clues lead to a better understanding of the evolution of the solar system and the origin of the Earth as a habitable planet. In a new article published in the journal Nature Communications Earth and Environment, researchers at the University of Rochester were able to use magnetism to …

[ad_1] Voyager probes left our Solar System years ago, but even as they travel through interstellar space, they are still detecting bursts of cosmic rays from our Sun, more than 23 billion kilometers (14 billion miles) away. A detailed analysis of recent data from both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 …

[ad_1] Wherever you have fluid, you can also find vortex rings there. Now, scientists have found vortex rings somewhere fascinating – inside a tiny pillar made of a magnetic material, the gadolinium-cobalt intermetallic compound GdCo.2. If you’ve seen smoke rings or bubble rings underwater, you’ve seen vortex rings – donut-shaped …

[ad_1] Magnetic materials are ubiquitous in modern society, present in almost all the technological devices we use every day. In particular, personal electronic devices such as smartphones / watches, tablets and desktop computers all rely on magnetic material to store information. Information in modern devices is stored in long chains …

[ad_1] A team of multiple organizations, including UW, plans to develop a line of lightweight, ultra-fast wireless chargers that could help both humans and robots live and work on the moon.Sarah McQuate / University of Washington A challenge to life in space is power: how to keep humans comfortable and …

[ad_1] For over a decade, the phenomenon known as fast radio bursts has excited and bewildered astronomers. These extraordinarily bright but extremely short bursts of radio waves – lasting a few milliseconds – reach Earth from galaxies billions of light years away. In April 2020, one of the explosions was …

[ad_1] First introduced in wide use in the mid 1920sth century, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) has since become an indispensable technique for examining materials down to their atoms, revealing molecular structure and other details without interfering with the material itself. “It is a widely used technique in chemical analysis, material …

[ad_1] A group of researchers led by Sir Andre Geim and Dr Alexey Berdyugin at the University of Manchester has discovered and characterized a new family of quasiparticles called “Brown-Zak fermions” in graphene-based super lattices. The team achieved this breakthrough by aligning the atomic lattice of a graphene layer with …

[ad_1] “At the age of 12-15 I was drawing; I was designing fusion devices. “ David Fischer recalls growing up in Vienna, Austria imagining the best way to cool the furnace used to hold the hot ion soup known as plasma in a melting device called a tokamak. With the …
