Physics and Astronomy

This area deals with the fundamental laws and building blocks of nature and how they interact, the properties and the behavior of matter, and research into space and time and their structures.

innovations-report provides in-depth reports and articles on subjects such as astrophysics, laser technologies, nuclear, quantum, particle and solid-state physics, nanotechnologies, planetary research and findings (Mars, Venus) and developments related to the Hubble Telescope.

No cavity, no party: Free-space atoms give superradiant transition a pass

Isolated atoms in free space radiate energy at their own individual pace. However, atoms in an optical cavity interact with the photons bouncing back and forth from the cavity mirrors,…

The elusive nature of liquid brines on Mars

Determining the conditions in which brines are stable could be key to better understanding the climate and potential habitability of Mars. More than a hundred years ago, astronomer Percival Lowell…

NASA successfully integrates Roman mission’s telescope, instruments

NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope team has successfully integrated the mission’s telescope and two instruments onto the instrument carrier, marking the completion of the Roman payload. Now the team…

Spirals and waves

A new model highlights the importance of molecular interactions to create order in active systems. Non-reciprocal interactions can increase the order in an active system. This is the finding of…

Researchers 3D print compact, low-cost vortex beam generators

With integrated gain-filtering, new device could boost 5G/6G networks and enhance data transmission. Researchers have developed a 3D-printed device that generates twisting light beams with orbital angular momentum (OAM), a…

Controlling quantum states in a new energy range

A team of scientists headed by Dr. Lukas Bruder of the University of Freiburg controlled special quantum states in helium atoms with the FERMI free electron laser. An international research…
