Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

An Australian spider spins a web that stretches by 150% and snaps back without breaking—a material never seen before.

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have demonstrated a new type of vacuum ...

Physicists at the University of Colorado Boulder have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100 to 1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The ...

Several essential factors influence how efficiently cleanliness analysis is carried out in automotive and electronics manufacturing.

Flying at hypersonic speeds — defined as Mach 5 and above — is likely the toughest environment to engineer materials for. At these speeds, temperatures can reach beyond (1,727° C), straining even the ...

Imaging-based single-cell physiological profiling holds great potential for uncovering fundamental bacterial cold shock response (CSR) mechanisms, but its application is impeded by severe focus drift ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

In 2009, investigators probing a grave-desecration scandal at Burr Oak Cemetery in Alsip, Illinois, recovered a clump of moss ...

In A Nutshell Researchers have launched a free, publicly accessible 3D atlas of real human organs that lets anyone zoom from whole-organ views down to near-cellular detail in a web browser. The scans ...
