A Filament Fit for Space - Silk is Proven to Thrive in Outer Space Temperatures

Scientists from the universities of Oxford, Shanghai and Beijing who discovered that natural silks get stronger the colder they get, have finally solved the puzzle of why. Their initial discovery had seemed like a contradiction because most other polymer fibres embrittle in the cold.

Study of Genuine 2D Effects Starting from a Single 1D Wire

Restriction of movement of quantum particles to one, two, or three dimensions has resulted in the observation of several striking phenomena. An ideal example is the quantization of the Hall conductance recorded in 2D materials in the presence of a strong magnetic field.

Scientists Report New Method for Electrical Cooling Using Quantum Wells

Scientists at the University of Tokyo have reported a new method for electrical cooling that can be executed even in the absence of moving parts. When a bias voltage is applied to quantum wells made of aluminum gallium arsenide, a semiconductor, electrons release some of their heat by a process known as “evaporative cooling.”

The Possible Application of Spintronics in Modern Electronics

3D structures are currently being studied in order to boost the efficiency of microchips. However, spintronic components, which depend on electron spin instead of charge, are constantly flat.

Astronomers Discover 12 Galaxies that Existed Nearly 13 Billion Years Ago

An international team of astronomers used the Subaru, Keck, and Gemini Telescopes to discover a collection of 12 galaxies that existed nearly 13.0 billion years ago. This is the earliest protocluster to be ever discovered.

Visualization Shows How Black Hole’s Gravity Distorts Humans’ View

Researchers have visualized a black hole in a new way, which describes how its gravity warps its surroundings, as though observed in a carnival mirror, and thus distorts humans’ view.

Researchers Develop a New Method to Measure Black Hole Mass

Black holes have never been weighed before because scales are not available for this. However, astrophysicists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have developed an innovative method to indirectly measure the mass of a black hole and also confirm its existence.
