MISSING PHYSICS: Researchers attempt to find particles that escaped the world’s largest particle accelerator
Several physicists are urging the construction of a new facility to supplement the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle detectors will hunt for long-lived particles that have escaped the biggest particle accelerator ever built, an article in Science Daily stated. The LHC is a huge ring of superconducting magnets built underground in the French-Swiss border. It […]

A neglected rare-earth element could change the way we tell time
Among the rare-earth elements, lutetium doesn’t get enough attention. But this may soon change as a new type of clock that uses lutetium could tell more accurate time to the second, an article in Live Science states. Starting in 1967, a second was officially defined as the amount of time it took a cesium atom to […]

NASA finds plume of water from one of Jupiter’s moons, signifying that it could theoretically support alien life
Revisiting decades-old data from an earlier mission to Jupiter reveals that the Galileo spacecraft flew into a massive plume of water vapor from the planet’s icy moon Europa. An article in NASA suggests the plume could mean the Jovian satellite is habitable or even hosting alien life. Galileo flew past Europa in 1997. During that close […]

Can small stars support alien life? An astrophysicist talks about the potential these exoplanets may have
Since the discovery of the first confirmed exoplanet in 1992, astronomers have found nearly 4,000 of these celestial bodies. Many of these planets orbit small stars like the numerous red dwarf stars. A Space.com article states that some of these exoplanets could support alien life despite the challenges posed by their parent star. Despite their […]

Better, more affordable smart glass goes from transparent to opaque when compromised
A researcher from the University of Delaware (UD) presented the latest prototype of a smart glass that’s better and cheaper than anything on the market or in development, reported NewsWise. During the SPIE Smart Materials and Nondestructive Evaluation for Energy Systems IV conference in Denver, Colorado, Keith Goossen showed the newest iteration of the smart […]

Scientists take super close-up shots of the human bone to understand why they are so strong
To truly understand the sturdiness of human bones, U.K. researchers have peered deeper into their structure than ever before. In a Scientific American article, they reported finding helix-shaped nanostructures twisting into and around equally thin spirals of fibrils. The nanostructures are made up of mineral crystallites, while fibrils are a type of protein collagen. These […]

New generation of superconductors use high entropy alloys
In a recent Science Daily article, Japanese researchers presented the first of a new generation of superconductors. These highly-conductive materials incorporate a high-entropy alloy made from not just one or two or even three, but five separate rare earth metals (REMs). The researchers combined layers of bismuth sulfide (BiS2) superconductor with high-entropy REM alloy oxyfluoride. […]

The emerging field of “spintronics” uncovers an unexpected phenomenon in how electrons “spin” which could help develop more efficient computing devices
The accidental discovery of the zero field switching (ZFS) effect is a major leap forward in the field of spintronics. It could pave the way towards memory and computing devices that are both smaller and draw less power, according to an article in NanoWerk. The University of Maryland (UMD) defined spintronics as the role of nuclear and […]

Researchers use graphene to make new and improved concrete
British researchers have succeeded in modernizing concrete with graphene. In a New Atlas article, they reported that the improved concrete is stronger, better at keeping water out, and reduces carbon dioxide pollution by cutting back on cement. Graphene is a sheet of interconnected carbon atoms with the thickness of a single atom. So far, it is the strongest […]

Engineers study self-assembling block polymer membranes as an alternative option for water treatment
As water scarcity spreads across the face of the Earth, researchers are scrambling for ways to convert non-traditional sources into potable water. In a Nano Werk article, engineering researchers from two universities reported that self-assembling block polymer membranes could be used as alternative materials in water filtration. The United Nations warned that about 1.9 billion […]
