How a Leak Can Stop Itself
The mass-and-spring-like behavior of a water droplet helps explain its ability to seal the leaky pipe from where it came. Continue reading
Deciphering Single-Molecule Fluorescence
Spatial maps of the light emitted by an excited molecule reveal how the emission depends on the molecule’s charge states. Continue reading
Universal Quantum Logic through Spin Swapping
Researchers have demonstrated quantum gate operations in a system where voltage pulses cause neighboring electron spins to swap with one another. Continue reading
How Microswimmers Push Through Solid-Like Fluids
If a helical bacteria’s tail propulsion is strong enough to deform the yield-stress fluid ahead of the swimmer, locomotion proceeds. Continue reading
High-Resolution Wind Detection
A phase-modulated lidar system can measure the speed of distant winds at submeter scales, potentially allowing detailed maps of turbulent flows. Continue reading
A New Route to Room-Temperature Ferromagnets
A novel crystalline material is readily grown from low-melting-temperature mixtures—a result that points toward a new route to above-room-temperature ferromagnets. Continue reading
How Sea Spray Might Disperse Large Particles
Experiments reveal new details of the process by which contaminants in the ocean could reach the atmosphere through the bursting of bubbles in foam. Continue reading
Massive Star Formation DisplaysSelf-Control
New observations of a stellar nursery highlight a self-regulation mechanism that appears to resolve discrepancies between simulated and observed efficiencies of star formation. Continue reading
