Feb 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) In a new Nature Astronomy study ("Galaxies lacking dark matter produced by close encounters in a cosmological simulation"), an international team led by astrophysicists from the University of California, Irvine and Pomona College report how, when tiny galaxies collide with bigger ones, the bigger galaxies...

Feb 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) At the interface between two media, light is partly reflected backwards into the medium where it came from and partly transmitted into the neighboring medium, like a light ray entering a sparkling pool of water. The light wave patterns that arise from these processes can...

Feb 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) A new sustainable and practical method for producing hydrogen from water has been discovered by a team of researchers at the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan led by Ryuhei Nakamura. Unlike current methods, the new method does not require rare metals...

Feb 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Biomedical research progress made it possible to tackle diseases and make great medical advances in recent decades. Unfortunately, to the largest extent, experimental research required animal models to move forward. The European Union, through the European Association for Animal Research, strongly regulates animal research following...

Feb 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Astronomers from the Universities of Tübingen and Potsdam have discovered a new type of star. While hunting for "hot stars" with the Large Binocular Telescope in Arizona, the team came across stars with unusual properties. While normal stellar surfaces are composed of hydrogen and helium,...

Feb 14, 2022 (Nanowerk News) Television used to be known as ‘the idiot box’. But the organic LEDs found in modern flat screens are far from stupid. In fact, they’re helping us to draw a map that could unlock the quantum future. No wonder they’re now called smart TVs. The...
