A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S., is proposing the possibility of generating electricity using energy from ...

When it is free in cold space, a molecule will spontaneously cool down by slowing its rotation and losing rotational energy in quantum transitions. Physicists have shown that this rotational cooling ...

A collaboration of researchers in France, Japan and the United States have developed a new nanosized propeller which can act as gears. This propeller, when bound to a gold surface, can be activated ...

For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity. The idea was first tested by Michael Faraday in 1832, but his experiments ...

Using the Large High-Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), an international team of astronomers have detected very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-rays around the pulsar PSR J0248+6021, which may be the ...

Flywheels handle short power spikes better than batteries alone; Quint pairs units with sodium-ion batteries for sustained ...
