Researchers at Stanford University have used nanoparticles of copper hexacyanoferrate to create electrodes that could lead to large batteries for storing excess power from the electrical grid for future use. These might be best used in wind and solar farms, the researchers stated in a paper publishe...
The international research team that found neutrinos traveling faster than light has done it again. It conducted another set of experiments and again found neutrinos that exceeded the speed of light. As in the first experiment, the researchers fired high-intensity, high-energy beams of muon neutrino...
"Quantum levitation" may not be a household term, but one look at a YouTube video now nearing 3 million views, and you'll soon get the gist of what's going on. In essence, it's a thin but solid disc floating in mid-air. Magic and science fiction might be what spring to mind, but in fact what's being...
Scientists at Northwestern University have developed a new nanomaterial that can reconfigure itself by directing the flow of current. This could lead to computers that can reconfigure their internal circuitry as needed. The hybrid material, created by a team led by Bartos Grzybowski, professor of ch...
The long search for the fabled Higgs boson may be drawing to its end. Rolf Heuer, director-general of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, has reportedly stated that the particle's existence will either be proved or disproved within 12 months. Heuer's statement was backed by two oth...
Reading a brain with a machine to get the information in it has been the stuff of sci-fi for years. Now, scientists at UC Berkeley's Gallant Lab have demonstrated that it's possible. The scientists used functional magnetic resonance imaging to reconstruct movies subjects watched by reading their bra...
A multinational research team says it's found neutrinos that travel faster than the speed of light. For the Opera neutrino experiment, scientists basically shot a high-intensity, high-energy beam of muon neutrinos from the CERN SPS accelerator in Geneva toward the LNGS underground laboratory at Gran...
Researchers at Tufts University announced Sunday they've created an electrical motor many thousands of times smaller than the width of a single human hair, a breakthrough they claim could eventually lead to innovations in healthcare and technology. The microscopic motor is the size of a single molec...
Researchers at the National Institute of Science and Technology have used microwaves to entangle ions in yet another step toward developing quantum computers. Quantum entanglement is a feature of quantum physics in which two atoms are linked together in such a way that in order to describe the prope...
It appears that scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology proved recently that you can't travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum. That discovery, howled many popular publications, means time travel is impossible. "Impossible," however, is a very powerful word. Has th...
