Astronomers identify record-breaking quasar. Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have characterised a bright quasar, finding it to be not only the brightest of its…
… enable high-performance multifunctional electronic devices. Downscaling of electronic devices, such as transistors, has reached a plateau, posing challenges for semiconductor fabrication. However, a research team led by materials scientists…
Data from heavy ion collisions give new insight into electromagnetic properties of quark-gluon plasma. A new analysis by the STAR collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), a particle collider at…
In living cells, a vast number of transient events occur simultaneously, each of them important for a given cell in carrying out its function. The faithful recording of these transient…
Bats live in a world of sounds. They use vocalizations both to communicate with their conspecifics and for navigation. For the latter, they emit sounds in the ultrasonic range, which…
