In 2004, physicists Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov synthesized graphene in the laboratory. Just seven years later, this material of extraordinary resistance could have been found in space by a team of Spanish astrophysicists.
A new study explains why the Sun's corona reaches temperatures hundreds of times higher than parts of the star that are much closer to the core that produces the heat.
During the International Europhysics Congress being held in Grenoble, France, new clues were released about the research being carried out at the LHC. Apparently the researchers could have found "traces of a signal" of the so-called God particle.
When the rain wets our suit or we have just taken the laundry out of the washing machine, the fabric is darker than when it dries. This effect has to do with the refraction of light. Between the fibers of the tissues there are usually spaces, so that if a beam of light falls, they reflect it for the most part.
Physicists and astronomers have long believed that the universe has mirror symmetry, like a basketball. But a study from the University of Michigan (USA) suggests that the shape of the Big Bang may have been more complex than previously believed, and that the nascent universe rotated on an axis.
A team of American scientists has just created the first living system capable of emitting laser light, which could have multiple applications in the development of microscopes and the field of phototherapy. The results are published in the journal 'Nature Photonics'.
The Alpha experiment of the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) has managed to trap antimatter atoms for more than 1,000 seconds, around 16 minutes, which will allow them to start studying their properties in detail, according to an article published in 'Nature Physics'.
What is the shape of an electron? Is it like a ball of yarn? Oval? Spherical? Scientists at Imperial College London (United Kingdom) have made the most precise measurement of the shape of this elementary particle and have discovered that it is a practically perfect sphere. Their findings are published in the journal Nature.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
