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.

Near-earth microquasar a source of powerful radiation

Modern astronomy has clung to the belief that the relativistic outflows or jets responsible for the existence of electromagnetic radiation of particularly high energies are located in the nuclei of…

Material stimulated by light pulses

…could be leap toward more energy-efficient supercomputing. Ferroelectric material adapts to light stimuli by reorganizing atomic connectivity on the nanoscale. “Today’s supercomputers and data centers demand many megawatts of power,”…

The expansion of turbid drops in water

It is usually not possible to look inside cloudy liquids, but researchers at the universities of Mainz and Düsseldorf have now managed to do so for the first time. When…

New diamond bonding technique a breakthrough for quantum devices

New technique allows greater integration of synthetic diamonds, improving how both quantum and conventional electronics are built. Synthetic diamond is durable, inert, rigid, thermally conductive and chemically well-behaved—an elite material…

Giant Magellan telescope begins primary mirror support system testing

World’s largest optical mirror successfully installed on support system prototype for the first time to validate telescope’s extraordinary performance. The Giant Magellan Telescope today announced the successful installation of one…

Out-of-this-world simulation key to collecting moon dust

Teleoperated robots for gathering moon dust are a step closer, according to new research by scientists at the University of Bristol. The team were able to complete a sample collection…
