How to Prevent Biofilms in Space

After exposure in space aboard the International Space Station, a new kind of surface treatment significantly reduced the growth of biofilms, scientists report. Biofilms are mats of microbial or fungal growth that can clog hoses or filters in water processing systems, or potentially cause illness in people.

Detection of the Magnetic Field of a Far Away Galaxy

Making use of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers detect the magnetic field of a galaxy that is so distant that its light has taken over 11 billion years to reach the Earth: one gets to see it when the Universe was only 2.5 billion years old.

Understanding Generic Features of Quantum Algorithms

A strange mix of properties has been displayed by the window glass. Similar to a liquid, its atoms have been disordered, but like a solid, its atoms are firm, so a force employed on one atom makes all of them move.
