Finding NEMO - The Future of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy

A new study released today makes a compelling case for the development of ‘NEMO’ – a new observatory in Australia that could deliver on some of the most exciting gravitational-wave science next-generation detectors have to offer, but at a fraction of the cost.

Study Unravels New Superconducting States in Magic Angle Graphene

If you stack two layers of graphene one on top of the other, and rotate them at an angle of 1.1º from each other - the so-called magic-angle, experiments have proven that the material can behave like an insulator, where no electrical current can flow, and at the same can also behave like a superconductor, where electrical currents can flow without resistance.

Study Reveals Large Protoplanetary Particles have 10-nm Silicate Feature

Astrophysicists of Far Eastern Federal University with colleagues from Russia and overseas have revealed that large and dense particles with irregular shapes possess a 10 nm silicate feature introduced in lots of comets and protoplanetary discs.
