Scientists synthesize new and ultra-hard material

Russian scientists have synthesized a new ultra-hard material consisting of scandium-containing carbon. It consists of polymerized fullerene molecules with scandium and carbon atoms inside. The work paves the way for future studies of fullerene-based ultra-hard materials which makes them a potential candidate for photovoltaic...

A new nanotech imaging tool may allow smartphone disease diagnosis

Scientists have developed a low-cost microscopic imaging device small enough to fit on a smartphone camera lens which has the potential to make mobile medical diagnosis of diseases affordable and accessible. Research published today in ACS Photonics from researchers at the University of Melbourne and the Australian...

Scientists identify the most extreme heatwaves ever recorded globally

A new study has revealed the most intense heatwaves ever across the world and remarkably some of these went almost unnoticed decades ago. The research was led by the University of Bristol and showed that heatwaves are projected to get hotter in future as climate...

Hydroxyl radicals first detected at 2.8 μm wavelength with optical-feedback cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy

A research team led by Prof. Zhang Weijun from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science (HFIPS) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has recently detected hydroxyl radical (OH) at 2.8 μm wavelength with a distributed feedback diode laser, based on optical-feedback cavity-enhanced absorption...

New double neutron star millisecond pulsar discovered

An international team of astronomers reports the discovery of a rare double neutron star millisecond pulsar. The newfound binary pulsar is designated PSR J1325−6253. It consists of two neutron stars orbiting one another every 1.8 days. The study was published on arXiv.org. The most rapidly...
