| 'Sticky waves: ' molecular interactions at the nanoscale Posted: 10 Mar 2016 11:40 AM PST Like the gravitational forces that are responsible for the attraction between the Earth and the moon as well as the dynamics of the entire solar system, there exist attractive forces between objects at the nanoscale. These are the so-called van der Waals forces, which are ubiquitous in nature and thought to play a crucial role in determining the structure, stability and function of a wide variety of systems throughout the fields of biology, chemistry, physics and materials science. |
| Down the rabbit hole: How electrons travel through exotic new material Posted: 10 Mar 2016 11:39 AM PST Researchers have observed a bizarre behavior in a strange new crystal that could hold the key for future electronic technologies. Unlike most materials in which electrons travel on the surface, in these new materials the electrons sink into the depths of the crystal through special conductive channels. |
| Algorithm allows a computer to create a vacation highlight video Posted: 10 Mar 2016 09:53 AM PST Researchers have unveiled a novel video-editing solution this week that automatically sorts and edits untouched footage into the most picturesque highlights for a vacation reel that could fill anyone with envy. |
| Mysterious infrared light from space resolved perfectly Posted: 10 Mar 2016 08:18 AM PST Astronomers have detected the faintest millimeter-wave source ever observed. By accumulating millimeter-waves from faint objects throughout the Universe, the team finally determined that such objects are 100 percent responsible for the enigmatic infrared background light filling the Universe. By examining optical and infrared images, the team found that 60 percent of them are faint galaxies, whereas the rest have no corresponding objects and their nature is still unknown. |
