For decades, astronomers have looked to the outer reaches of the cosmos for answers to our most fundamental questions: Where did we come from? What lies beyond? And how does it all work? A recent ...

MANHATTAN, KANSAS -- An analysis of more than 200,000 spiral galaxies has revealed unexpected links between spin directions of galaxies, and the structure formed by these links might suggest that the ...

Physicists have discovered a much faster approach to create a pattern of spins in a magnet. This 'shortcut' opens a new chapter in topology research. Interestingly, this discovery also offers an ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A material used to store information must satisfy a demanding bargain. It has to keep its state when the power is off, resist noise from its surroundings, and still change when a ...

The size and morphology of nanofibers directly determine their application scope and performance, while regular patterned fibers further demonstrate their superior performance in the field of sensors ...

This image shows an all-sky mollweide map of the quadrupole in the distribution of galaxy spin directions. In this image, the different colors mean different statistical strength of having a ...
