A highly precise method to determine past typhoon occurrences from giant clam shells has been developed, with the hope of using this method to predict future cyclone activity.

An international team of researchers, affiliated with South Korea’s Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has discovered a novel method for the synthesis of ultrathin semiconductors.

A research team, affiliated with UNIST has recently demonstrated the possibility to induce and control a magnetic response in a nonmagnetic layer material though selective excitation of specific vibration of the material, using state-of-the-art theoretical simulation tools.

Solar cells have a hard life in space – their efficiency at converting sunlight into energy at the end of their time there is more prized than their initial efficiency.

MIT engineers have designed a robotic glider that can skim along the water’s surface, riding the wind like an albatross while also surfing the waves like a sailboat.

Geneva– The OPERA experiment, located at the Gran Sasso Laboratory of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), was designed to conclusively prove that muon-neutrinos can convert to tau-neutrinos, through a process called neutrino oscillation, whose discovery was awarded the 2015 Nobel Physics Prize.

Low rises on the ocean floor at a depth of 5,500 meters in the western North Pacific regulate surface flows and create sharp sea surface temperature (SST) fronts, which have…

State-level policy in the U.S. is responsive to public opinion, study shows.  CAMBRIDGE, MA — In politics, your voices make a difference. At least at the state level of U.S….

Supersonic gas streams left over from the Big Bang likely gave rise to early massive black holes. The mechanisms that drive black hole formation and growth are poorly understood. An…
