Scientists at MIPT explain the way Weyl particles 'dance' on crystal surface
May 03, 2017 (SPX)
The Weyl particle - or the Weyl fermion, to use a more precise term - was predicted in the early 20 century by Hermann Weyl, a German physicist. Despite his ear...
Device allows users to manipulate 3-D virtual objects more quickly
May 03, 2017 (SPX)

Why space dust emits radio waves upon crashing into a spacecraft
May 03, 2017 (SPX)
A new study published this week in the journal Physics of Plasmas, from AIP Publishing, uses computer simulations to show that the cloud of plasma generated fro...
Raytheon receives $327M radar contract for U.S. Navy
May 02, 2017 (UPI)
The contract will cover the procurement of three initial systems, including the equipment and engineering systems needed to produce, the Department of Defense a...
First luminescent molecular system with a lower critical solution temperature
May 02, 2017 (SPX)
However, it is rare for non-polymeric mixtures to have a lower critical solution temperature because small molecules usually become more soluble as they are hea...
MIT wireless device can see through walls to detect walking speed
May 02, 2017 (SPX)
Unfortunately, it's hard to accurately monitor walking speed in a way that's both continuous and unobtrusive. Professor Dina Katabi's group at MIT's Computer Sc...
New organic lasers one step closer to reality
May 02, 2017 (SPX)
Researchers at Kyushu University's Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics Research (OPERA) reported an optically pumped organic thin-film laser that can c...
For first time, researchers measure forces that align crystals and help them snap together
May 01, 2017 (SPX)
Called van der Waals forces, the attraction provides insights into how crystals self-assemble, an activity that occurs in a wide range of cases in nature, from ...
A material inspired by a sea worm changes according to the environment
May 01, 2017 (SPX)
Chemical engineer Francisco Martin-Martinez, a Spanish researcher at the MIT Laboratory for Atomistic and Molecular Mechanics and co-author of the paper, explai...
Control of molecular motion by metal-plated 3-D printed plastic pieces
May 01, 2017 (SPX)
