Getting inspiration from chameleons, a team of researchers at the Northwestern University has created a robust, tunable nanolaser that can change colors. A nanolaser is a tiny laser with nanoscale dimensions. These lasers can be modulated quickly and, combined with their small footprint, which makes them ideal for on-chip optical computing. Their intense optical fields […]

NASA’s IceCube, a tiny satellite deployed from the International Space Station (ISS) in May 2017, has created the first global map of ice clouds. The ice clouds are considered key variables in climate and weather models. Like other clouds, they also absorb/reflect the Sun’s energy and affect the heat emission from Earth into space. Ice […]
A team of researchers from the Center for Free-Electron Laser Science (CFEL) at DESY and Uppsala University (Sweden) has developed a new technique to heat water from room temperature to 100,000 degrees Celsius in just 75 femtoseconds (75 millionths of a billionth of a second) to produce an exotic state of water. According to scientists, […]
For most of us, mosquitoes are irritating creatures. Their itchy bites, the whiny hum of buzzing wings, ubiquitous presence, and uncanny abilities to sense human presence not only ruin our beautiful evenings in the backyard of our homes but also spoil our sleeps in our bedrooms at night. Most people are not aware of the […]
