Here’s what you’ll learn by reading this story: Scientists fired lasers at semiconductor nano-lasagna to show how electrons behave. In the right conditions, electrons become polarons, pulling oppositely charged atoms for a ride. The researchers took pictures of the newly born quasiparticle and measured its energy and mass. Scientists at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich … Read more
A great white shark Caught in the Mediterranean has continued a long scientific investigation into a population many thought extinct. An unusual encounter, reported off the coast of Spain, has forced researchers to reassess more than 160 years of evidence. For example, height of about 210 cm and weight between 80 and 90 kgit was … Read more
For more than 50 years, people have been telling amazing stories about a small fish called a shellear.Parakneria thysi) climbing waterfalls. Now researchers say they have filmed the behavior for the first time. Their findings were published in Scientific Reports. Pacifique Kiwele Mutambala, a researcher at the University of Lubumbashi, and Emmanuel Vreven, ichthyologist Royal … Read more
Scientists have struggled for years to explain the mysterious mechanism inside tokamaks, donut-shaped machines designed to one day generate electricity by fusing atoms together. Inside these devices, superheated plasma is held in place by gravity. Some of those particles eventually escape from the back and head towards the smoke chamber, called the divertor. When the … Read more
By mid-2025, the group of physicists to Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved something that had eluded researchers for nearly a century: the direct visualization of an obscure “second sound.” This is a rare regime there temperature it is no longer different but moves like the wavehumming like sound in a quantum liquid. The findings, published … Read more
The sudden loss of the Sun would not be immediately felt on Earth, but within minutes the planet would undergo a rapid and irreversible transformation. Darkness would set in, temperatures would drop dramatically, and basic life support systems would slowly shut down. For approx 4.6 billion yearsThe sun has been the central force in the … Read more
For more than three hundred years, Amonons first law has been one of the most reliable principles of physics. Written by the French physicist Guillaume Amontons in his 1699 book De la résistance causée dans les machines, the law states that the force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load, which means that … Read more
Science and energy production are closely linked. In recent years, we have made several amazing scientific discoveries that may hold the future of energy production in their hands. But to realize the strange condition of the matter that existed considered impossible for more than 50 years it may hold the answers to powering our future … Read more
AAfter huddling in a damp, cool cave, Raúl da Silva Armando Chomela is waiting for his eyes to adjust. Wearing latex gloves, a helmet fitted with a headlamp, and a mask to protect his lungs from fine particles and bacteria, the molecular biologist from the Mozambican port city of Beira peers into the shadows for … Read more
Scientists have captured rare underwater footage of a whale giving birth, revealing a level of cooperation and support from nearby whales that researchers say has rarely been recorded in the wild. Video, recorded by the team of marine scientistsit not only shows the time of birth but also shows how other whales stayed close and … Read more
