The UK government has shown its commitment to their semiconductor industry by revealing its new electron beam (E-beam) lithography facility at the University of Southampton.
To combat the growing threat of undetected space debris, a UAF scientist is spearheading a project to design a "Space Debris Hunter" satellite. This initiative aims to track objects as small as one centimetre, safeguarding vital satellite infrastructure.
The EU-India Science and Technology Agreement was first signed in 2001 and has since been renewed multiple times. Promoting research and innovation collaboration between the European Union and India is important.
It's not uncommon to spot at least one bright planet on most nights; however, sometimes, you may get the chance to see up to four of five planets visible at once. This creates a "planetary parade" or a "planet alignment".
The European Commission has announced a recent investment of €29 million in three initiatives under Horizon Europe's WIDERA program, looking to support public engagement with science, provide better opportunities for early-career researchers, and enhance the practical application of research in society and the economy,
Scientists at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a new nanoscale technique, surface-sensitive spintronic terahertz spectroscopy (SSTS), to probe the quantum behaviour of materials at interfaces. This breakthrough offers unprecedented insights into surface phonons and interfacial superconductivity, paving the way for advancements in quantum material and technologies.
The AI Metascience Fellowship Programme will fund researchers exploring AI's potential to transform how science is conducted, accelerate discoveries, and address key ethical and societal challenges.
Deep within Earth, a hidden transformation is underway. Scientists have discovered that the inner core's surface is changing shape, challenging previous assumptions about its solid nature. This dynamic activity could influence Earth's rotation and magnetic field.
Euclid, the ESA's dark Universe detective, has made a stunning early discovery: a near-perfect Einstein ring. This rare phenomenon, caused by gravitational lensing, was found surrounding galaxy NGC 6505, showcasing Euclid's power and hinting at the wealth of cosmic secrets it will uncover.
The European Commission has released a new report showing how the European Union's commitment to collaborative research and innovation has a strong effect and what projects are using the most of their support and funding.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking material that barely changes size with temperature, defying the usual expansion of metals. This achievement opens doors for advancements in aerospace, electronics, and precision instruments, promising to revolutionise technologies reliant on dimensional stability.
Biocompatibility is a key challenge for medical implants. Researchers have engineered apatite nanoparticles with enhanced cell adhesion via pH-controlled synthesis. This breakthrough promises more effective implant coatings, improving integration and reducing inflammation.
