| Scientists discover volcanoes on Venus are still active Posted: 20 Jul 2020 08:23 AM PDT A new study identified 37 recently active volcanic structures on Venus. The study provides some of the best evidence yet that Venus is still a geologically active planet. |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2020 08:23 AM PDT Last December, researchers designed technology that could achieve the lowest temperature chemical reactions and then broke and formed the coldest bonds in the history of molecular coupling. Now, though reactions are considered too fast to measure, they determined the exact lifespan of their intermediate -- the space between reactants and products -- and solved the mystery of why some ultracold molecules simply disappear. |
| Quantum exciton found in magnetic van der Waals material NiPS3 Posted: 20 Jul 2020 08:23 AM PDT Things can always be done faster, but can anything beat light? Computing with light instead of electricity is seen as a breakthrough to boost the computer speeds. Transistors, the building blocks of data circuits, require to switch electrical signals into light in order to transmit the information via a fiber-optic cable. Optical computing could potentially save the time and energy used to be spent for such conversion. In addition to the high-speed transmission, outstanding low-noise properties of photons make them ideal for exploring quantum mechanics. At the heart of such compelling applications is to secure a stable light source, especially in a quantum state. |
| Plato was right. Earth is made, on average, of cubes Posted: 20 Jul 2020 08:22 AM PDT The ancient philosopher Plato posited the shapes of the building blocks of the universe. According to him, the earth was formed of cubes. Researchers now find a fundamental truth in that premise. Studying the shapes and fragmentation patterns of a variety of rocks, they found that the average of all their forms is a cube. |
| Could mini-Neptunes be irradiated ocean planets? Posted: 20 Jul 2020 07:18 AM PDT New research suggests that the low density of mini-Neptunes could be explained simply by the presence of a thick layer of water. |
