We have known for several decades that the universe is expanding. Scientists use multiple techniques to measure the present-day expansion rate of the universe, known as the Hubble constant. These ...

Astrophysicists propose a new “stochastic siren” method using the gravitational-wave background from black hole mergers to ...

Mechanical forces generated by cells not only drive the bending, stretching, alignment, and repositioning required for tissue development and homeostasis, but also regulate cell functions ranging from ...

Thin films are two-dimensional (2D) material layers deposited on a bulk substrate, possessing a thickness of a few nanometers to impart properties that cannot be realized by base materials. The unique ...

The energy transition requires not only the development of new technologies, but also their reliable and economical operation. For many years, the Institute of Solar Research has been developing ...

Astronomers have found a clever new way to slice and dice the flickering light from a distant star in a way that reveals the strength of gravity at its surface. That is important because a star’s ...

Lasers that transmit data on optical fibers do not produce monochromatic light. Instead, they provide a narrow spectrum that includes many wavelengths. The physical characteristics of optical fibers ...

In a small business, your abilities to make effective decisions, motivate employees and develop a customer-friendly atmosphere are keys to success. Measuring leadership directly often is a challenge, ...
