A team of astrophysicists and citizen scientists have identified what may be some of the last planets NASA’s retired Kepler space telescope observed during its nearly decade-long mission. The trio of exoplanets…
Researchers at Osaka University develop a new centipede-like robot and show how its motion can be switched from straight and curved walking, which may assist with search and rescue operations…
Quantum key distribution system based on integrated photonics lays groundwork for network implementation. Researchers have developed a quantum key distribution (QKD) system based on integrated photonics that can transmit secure…
Experiment ALPS starts searching for dark matter. The world’s most sensitive model-independent experiment to search for particularly light particles, of which dark matter might be composed, starts today at DESY…
From mangroves to fjords, coastal ecosystems can take up or emit greenhouse gases. But globally, they’re a vital sink. A new greenhouse gas budget shows coastal ecosystems globally are a…
… in would-be superconductor. Precision measurements reveal connection between electron density and atomic arrangements in charge-ordered states of a superconducting copper-oxide material. What makes some materials carry current with no…
