| New method of finding planets scores its first discovery Posted: 13 May 2013 12:28 PM PDT Detecting alien worlds presents a significant challenge since they are small, faint, and close to their stars. The two most prolific techniques for finding exoplanets are radial velocity (looking for wobbling stars) and transits (looking for dimming stars). Astronomers have just discovered an exoplanet using a new method that relies on Einstein's special theory of relativity.  |
| Mechanism that puts the curl in the curling stone revealed Posted: 13 May 2013 08:52 AM PDT Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden can now reveal the mechanism behind the curved path of a curling stone. The discovery by the researchers, who usually study friction and wear in industrial and technical applications.  |
| Physicists light 'magnetic fire' to reveal energy's path Posted: 13 May 2013 08:52 AM PDT Physicists have uncovered how energy is released and dispersed in magnetic materials in a process akin to the spread of forest fires, a finding that has the potential to deepen our understanding of self-sustained chemical reactions.  |
| Terahertz technology: Seeing more with less Posted: 13 May 2013 08:50 AM PDT Single-chip integration of the components needed for sending and receiving terahertz radiation should help applications in imaging and communication.  |
| Metallic glass: How nanoscale islands react under strain Posted: 13 May 2013 08:49 AM PDT High-level simulations reveal that plastic deformation in super-resilient alloys is governed by atomic zones with characteristic lengths.  |
| Data storage: Synchronized at the 'write time' Posted: 13 May 2013 08:49 AM PDT Numerical simulations show how to avoid imperfections in the next generation of high-density data storage.  |
| Photonic quantum computers: A brighter future than ever Posted: 13 May 2013 07:38 AM PDT Harnessing the unique features of the quantum world promises a dramatic speed-up in information processing as compared to the fastest classical machines. Scientists have succeeded in prototyping a new and highly resource efficient model of a quantum computer -- the boson sampling computer.  |
| Solar panels as inexpensive as paint? Posted: 13 May 2013 07:36 AM PDT Researchers are helping develop a new generation of photovoltaic cells that produce more power and cost less to manufacture than what's available today.  |
| New model to recommend media content according to your preferences Posted: 13 May 2013 05:31 AM PDT Researchers have developed a model capable to recommend audiovisual content to each user based on their own media consumption and intrinsic features of images and videos.  |
| Improving communication during disasters Posted: 13 May 2013 05:30 AM PDT A small armband which can be attached to the injured. An information board containing a complete visual record of events. This is technology helping to improve communications during major national disasters.  |
