Nuclear physicists at the University of York have recognized a sub-atomic particle that could have produced the “dark matter” in the Universe during the Big Bang. The particle contains six quarks, the fundamental particles that normally link in trios to make up protons and neutrons. The team proposes that in the situations shortly after the […]

The recently discovered ripples of spacetime known as gravitational waves could contain evidence to show the theory that life sustained the Big Bang because of a phase transformation that enabled neutrino particles to reshuffle matter and anti-matter. As matter and anti-matter have the opposite electrical charges, they cannot turn into each other, unless they are […]

Using Keck Observatory in Hawaii, a team of researchers from the University of Tokyo, Japan, has detected two new high-redshift protoclusters of galaxies.  The finding was made as an outcome of follow-up investigations of three over-dense regions of galaxies designated D1RD01, D1GD02, and D4GD01, first detected by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS) Deep Fields […]

We know that modern scientific research isn’t imaginable without software, from short scripts and the excess of complex spreadsheets, through to the huge software enterprises behind international efforts. Open software, both a driver and a consequence of Silicon Valley’s success, has enhanced the ability of scientists to examine data and collaborate with other scientists. That […]

Researchers from the Scripps Research Institute proved they were able to turn simple chemicals into unique 3-D structures resembling those observed in nature, structures with desirable features for medicines. Scripps Research scientists managed to discover a potential drug lead for inflammatory disease, which is now being studied further and could have huge implications for the […]

Researchers from the University of Vienna have used lasers to levitate and cool a glass nanoparticle into the quantum regime. Although it is restricted in a room-temperature atmosphere, the particle’s motion is completely managed by the laws of quantum physics. The researchers are thrilled about the possibilities of their work. The quantum motion of solids […]

Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Ohio State University have developed a soft polymer material, called magnetic shape memory polymer, which uses magnetic fields to change into a variety of forms. The newly developed material is a blend of three distinct ingredients, all with different features: two types of magnetic particles, one for […]
