A new study reveals that two widely studied ultrathin superconducting materials are more sophisticated than they appear. Although they seem to behave like simple superconductors with a single energy gap, they actually contain two strongly interacting superconducting states that work together and...
A new study by Caroline Ganglo and Stefan Karlowsky from the Leibniz Institute for Horticultural Sciences (IGZ) investigated whether human excreta-derived fertilizers are suitable for replacing mineral fertilizer in kohlrabi production and how they affect plant N uptake and soil N fluxes. The re...
Typically, astronomers identify comets by their distinct atmospheres, or comae, and their tails, which are created as the sun vaporizes a comet's ice. These features emit a glow when sunlight bounces off dust and water droplets. As gas escapes the body of the comet, it also acts as a tiny thrus...
The gentle giants are the world's largest fish—and love the tropics. The post Massive whale shark just spotted in Florida appeared first on Popular Science .
Some gun violence experts are skeptical. But the research raises questions of whether there’s a cause-and-effect relationship and if so, what’s behind it.
Quantum materials could transform technologies ranging from powerful computers and ultrasecure communications to advanced energy systems. But there has always been one major obstacle.
