Wave-packet interferometry captures elusive dark excitons in organic superconductor
In a recent study, Manish Garg, independent group leader at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (MPI FKF), succeeded in probing the local properties of bright and dark excitons in the organic superconductor copper naphthalocyanine (CuNc). The findings are published in t
Major power outage in France as Europe wilts under record heat
Europe braced Wednesday for another day of a sweltering heat wave that has smashed records, left tens of thousands of people without power and sent air conditioner sales zooming on a continent unused to and ill-equipped to handle searing heat.
Binary black hole signal probes event horizon region for first time
If, in space, no one can hear you scream, it seems that you can actually hear the sound of a crash when two black holes collide. Using the loudest gravitational wave ever heard, two Australian scientists and colleagues have been the first to witness the previously elusive "event
Europe swelters under record-breaking heat wave
Europe struggled to cope with a record-breaking heat wave on Wednesday, with at least 94 million people expected to experience temperatures above 35C, most of them in France and Spain.
A NASA satellite caught a giant tsunami doing something no one expected
A Pacific-wide tsunami triggered by a magnitude 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake gave scientists their first detailed satellite view of a major tsunami in motion. The observations revealed unexpected wave behavior and helped uncover a larger earthquake rupture than earlier models predict
Designer proteins unlock near-infrared and SWIR glow for deeper tissue imaging
Researchers at the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT/UCC) in Dresden, including Oliver Bruns and Dr. Bernardo Arús, are participating in an international study that has, for the first time, developed novel proteins for near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared imaging (SW
Hot Mess and Acid’s Reign: the romcom and queer cabaret spotlighting climate crisis
A blooming new wave of musical theatre is exploring the plight of the planet with a playful and hopeful approachEarth is a single woman with a lot to give; Humanity is a charismatic bad boy who turns out to be an inveterate taker. Their toxic relationship is told in Hot Mess, a m
Quantum waves reveal one-sided motion marking elusive critical states
Sound waves, light waves and other types of waves, generally spread freely through space and over time. In 1958, physicist Philip W. Anderson first described a phenomenon via which irregularities or other sources of disorder in materials would prevent waves from propagating freel
Ancient geology helps explain why Australia holds some of world's richest gold
Gold has long held a special place in Australia's history, shaping the nation's economic fortunes and driving waves of migration since the 1850s gold rushes. Today, Australia stands as one of the world's largest gold producers, with the precious metal a key driver of both regiona
Hybrid reef project off Miami Beach targets wave attenuation and coral recovery
University of Miami researchers and collaborators have expanded an offshore reef restoration and coastal resilience project off Miami Beach with the deployment of three 3D-printed SEAHIVE clustered structures.
Heat wave bakes 100 mn Europeans at over 35C
At least 101 million Europeans were forecast to swelter in temperatures of more than 35C on Thursday, as scores of people were thought to have been killed by the heat wave.
