Odderon Particles: The Most Non-Particle Particles

PHYSICS & MATH Physicists detect the not-really-a-particle particle. An odderon is a particle that's even odder than its name suggests. It's a particle that isn't really a particle at all, confused yet? What we think of as particles are usually very stable: electrons, protons, quarks, neutrinos and so on.

New polymer mixture creates ultra-sensitive heat sensor

Polymer gels with tunable ionic Seebeck coefficient for ultra-sensitive printed thermopiles Scientists at the Laboratory of Organic Electronics have developed an ultra-sensitive heat sensor that is flexible, transparent and printable.

Scientists develop probe that detects cancers

Purdue University researchers discover a probe that detects autoimmune diseases Purdue University scientists have discovered how to monitor and deal with specific types of cancers through immunoproteasome.

Twisted Graphene is Science’s Hottest New Topic

Atom-sized superconductors discovered with a simple angle adjustment. Just a year ago, scientists presented results that seemed almost too good to be true: Carbon sheets only a single atom thick, called graphene, took on a pair of important physical properties when they were twisted at just the right "magic" angle relative to one another.

Scientists develop organic materials for electronics

Argonne researchers develop an advanced way of developing organic materials for electronics The U. S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has developed a method on how to control the electronic structure of organic electronics.

Quantum Computing: Trying to Scratch the Surface

A ground level expalantion of quantum computing In reference to a recent article titled 'Quantum Computer Time Reversal: Can It Happen?', I would like to try to explain how quantum computing works.

Key evidence associating hydrophobicity with effective acid catalysis

Quantitative analysis of dense siloxane gels shows water can hinder catalytic activity Tokyo, Japan - Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have shown that the tunable hydrophobic nature of dense siloxane gels is strongly correlated with their catalytic activity, explicitly demonstrating how molecules with different hydrophobic nature at the molecular level interact differently with surfaces of differing hydrophobicity.

Researchers develop a self-healing electronic skin

An electron skin inspired by jellyfish is developed by NUS researchers The National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have developed a jellyfish-inspired electronic skin that has self-healing properties in aquatic environments.

A Liquid Metal with T-1000-like Properties Has Been Created

Chinese researchers create a new metal composite that can be manipulated by magnets. Researchers in China have created a Terminator-like liquid metal that has the ability to stretch horizontally and vertically, as well as change shapes.

Inert nitrogen forced to react with itself

Constituting over 78 % of the air we breathe, nitrogen is the element found the most often in its pure form on earth. The reason for the abundance of elemental nitrogen is the incredible stability and inertness of dinitrogen (N2), a molecule comprising two nitrogen atoms and the form in which most nitrogen exists. Only in very harsh environments, such as in the ionosphere, can dinitrogen be assembled into longer nitrogen chains, forming N4 ions with very short lifetimes.
