NASA scientists and engineers working on NASA’s Mars InSight mission will start visiting cities in the Southern California region from June 29. NASA’s Mars InSight Roadshow will stop at different cities throughout quake-prone California and to help people understand how the robotic lander that Insight Missions is carrying will probe the deep interior the Red […]
A team of scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt and the FIAS has developed new models to estimate the size of neutron stars. According to the latest research, size of neutron stars doesn’t exceed the limit of 1.5 kilometers. In comparison, previous estimates about neutron star size varied from eight to sixteen kilometers. The new models […]

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 […]
