Watching a metal transform into a superconductor, it may not be obvious that
this transition provides access to some of the same physics that governed the
cooling of the universe following the Big Bang. Yet at the root of both of these...

Ultracold atoms are still too hot. This may seem a ridiculous claim—after
all, the low-temperature exploits of the purveyors of quantum gases are
notorious. Laser cooling can flash-freeze atoms to temperatures in the micro-
and nanokelvin...

Abstract :
Resolving individual atoms has always been the ultimate goal of
surface microscopy. The scanning tunneling microscope images
atomic-scale features on surfaces, but resolving single atoms...

Molecular systems, or systems based on small organic molecules, possess
interesting and useful electronic properties. The rapidly developing area of
organic -or plastic- electronics is based on these materials. The investigations

Control of polymer morphology and chain orientation is of great importance in
organic solar cells and field effect transistors (OFETs). Here we report the use
of nanoimprint lithography to fabricate large-area, high-density, and ordered...

For the first time, MIT engineers and colleagues have observed the initiation
of a mass gathering and subsequent migration of hundreds of millions of animals
-- in this case, fish.
The work, conducted using a novel imaging technique,...

Countless hours are lost in traffic jams every year. Most frustrating of all are those jams with no apparent cause -- no accident, no stalled vehicle, no lanes closed for construction.
Such phantom jams can form when there is a heavy volume of...

How can the cosmos have the entropy we see today if the temperature was
almost exactly the same everywhere after the Big Bang? The answer may lie in our
"cosmic telephone number".
When it comes to big question, there...

Seawater is a complex, dynamic mixture of dissolved minerals, salts, and
organic materials that despite scientists best efforts, presents difficulties in
measuring its potential to contain and disperse energy. Like the water itself,

Abstract:
The ultimate electronic energy-storage device would store plenty of energy
but also charge up rapidly and provide powerful bursts when needed. Sadly,
today's devices can only do one or the other: capacitors provide...

Researchers may be able to "freeze" water into a solid, not by cooling but by confining it to narrow spaces less than one-millionth of a millimeter wide, according to new results from an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers.
It's...

Looking at the site today, it’s easy to forget that a dam and pond stood for
43 years on the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Franbrook Farm Research
Station in southwestern Wisconsin. All traces of the structure are gone, and...
