Representation of the photonic topological insulator developed in the study. Credit: Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have created a device no wider than a human hair that will help physicists probe the fundamental nature of matter and light. Their findings, published in the journal Nature Nanotechnologycould also support the development of more … Read more
A team of researchers from Virginia Tech has made a discovery that challenges centuries of scientific understanding. The team, led by Associate Professor Jiangtao Cheng, manipulated the Leidenfrost effect, a phenomenon observed when water droplets float above a hot surface. Challenging the conventional idea The Leidenfrost effect, named after German physician Johann Gottlob Leidenfrost, occurs … Read more

Calcada. eso.org/public/images/eso2210a/ This week we reported on the birth of black holes, the dubious claims of a vegan dog study, and a technique to observe entanglement without breaking quantum coherence. Neutrino predict-ino When a large star burns up its core, it explodes in … Read more
Black holes are some of the most enigmatic objects in the universe, capable of warping the fabric of space around them so violently that not even light can escape their gravity. But it turns out that much of what scientists know about these mysterious objects could be wrong. This is evident from new research published … Read more
