Discrete Energy Levels Without Confinement – A New Quantum Trick

Nanostructures can be designed such a way that the quantum confinement allows only certain electron energy levels. Researchers from IMDEA Nanociencia, UAM and ICMM-CSIC have for the first time observed a discrete pattern of electron energies in an unconfined system, which could lead to new ways of modifying the surface properties of materials.

Astronomers Discover Star with Unusual Chemical Composition in the Milky Way Galaxy

A star with a chemical composition contrary to any other star in the Milky Way Galaxy has been discovered by astronomers in the galaxy. A chemical composition such as this has been observed in a very few stars in dwarf galaxies that orbit the galaxy. This indicates that the star belonged to a dwarf galaxy that merged with the Milky Way.
