Violets help scientists build a 4D-printed catapult
Taking inspiration from nature, scientists create a two-component catapult that overcomes limitations in 4D printing.
How does rotation affect the quantum properties of electrons?
A study explores how the behavior of electrons changes on the mesoscale under magnetic fields and rotation.
Searching for the true theory of electromagnetism
Scientists probe cosmic microwave background and black hole radiation to test our understanding of electromagnetism.
Observations shed light on neutron star paradox
Astronomers have observed neutron stars that emit more energy than is theoretically possible, and now an explanation might be in the works.
The surprising influence of shape on twisted graphene
Scientists are exploring the behavior of electrons in helicoidal graphene strips, a unique form of graphene with a twisted shape.
Modified theory of gravity eliminates the need for dark energy
Many physicists are still skeptical that dark energy can fully explain gravity, and are therefore exploring alternative theories.
Galaxy clusters help confirm the Standard Model of Cosmology
Comparing simulated X-ray emissions from galaxy clusters to real observations provides support for the Standard Model of Cosmology.
