Most major crops, such as wheat and corn, require expensive nitrogen fertilizer to flourish. But what if bacteria could help those plants draw nitrogen from the atmosphere, as peas and beans do?
Inside every atomic nucleus lies a complex arrangement of protons and neutrons occupying quantized energy states. New research revisits the... Der Beitrag The Shell Model’s Shell Game erschien zuerst
Biomolecules are naturally occurring molecules that form the basis of living systems. They are widely used in the production of a diverse range of materials. One such widely used biomolecule is sulfat
The subterranean Construction Association awarded the largest neutrino experiment in the United States Project of the Year for successfully completing a major construction project.
For years, scientists studying bowhead whales have relied on a simple idea: if a whale makes a long, square or U-shaped dive, it's feeding time. A new study demonstrates that assumption may not hold w
Antarctica’s ice is becoming one of the most unconventional observatories in modern physics. NASA’s PUEO mission spent 23 days above... Der Beitrag New Instrument Used Antarctic Ice Sheet to Probe Ext
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is poised to make a major leap in the hunt for worlds outside our solar system, known as exoplanets. Scientists expect the mission to reveal around 100,000 wor

A steel ship weighing 100,000 tonnes floats. A marble weighing 5 grams sinks. The difference isn't weight — it's shape. ...
Every solid material deforms when you push it. Some spring back perfectly. Some bend permanently. Some shatter without w...
Radar does something simple: it throws radio waves at things and listens for the echo. But that simple idea won World Wa...
Majorana neutrinos could redefine our understanding of what a particle truly is — blurring the line between matter and antimatter.
Physicists from Emory University have led work to develop a microscopic, nonlinear light source that can be switched on, off or tuned to a particular intensity by an electrical "knob." The paper is pu
After 1,000 days of measurements, the KATRIN experiment is entering a new phase with TRISTAN, a detector system designed to... Der Beitrag Weighing the invisible, the challenge of the KATRIN project e
The IceCube Collaboration has produced the first map of the Milky Way using neutrinos, opening a new window on high-energy astrophysics.
