Chinese Academy of Sciences Warburgia ugandensis, a kind of evergreen tree with distinctive aromatic smell belonging to the Canellaceae family, is mainly distributed in Eastern and Southern Africa, with a few in India. As a well-known traditional medicinal plant in local communities in Africa, this species has long been widely used for treatment of various diseases. Up to now, some reports have showed that sesquiterpenoids isolated from W. ugandensis displayed antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ...

Date Time NIST team probes indestructible quantum states that may aid quantum computing Schematic of quantum Hall edge states in graphene probed by an atomic force microscope. In the interior of the graphene sheet, electrons under the influence of a perpendicular applied magnetic field are constrained to undergo circular motion. This turns the interior of the graphene sheet into a poor electrical conductor and even into an insulator under certain conditions. In contrast, along the boundary of t...

Decades before we knew birds could see Earths magnetic field, Albert Einstein was discussing the possibility of undiscovered super senses in his fan mail.

… the extended coverage reveals an intriguing extension of the intrusions magnetic signature." The combined magnetic survey shows that the Tertiary Intrusive Assemblage at Majuba Hill is at least 2.5 times larger than the geologic mapping indicated. The much larger extent shown by the positive magnetic response is consistent with the 2020 drilling and exploration by Bam Bam (NR December 23, 2020 and February 23, 2021). The 2021 drone survey collected 196,532 readings on east-west lines spac...

6 MAY 2021 Saturn really stands out among the Solar System planets, and not just because of its glorious system of rings. Its magnetic field is also peculiar; unlike other planets, with their off-axis fields, Saturns magnetic field is almost perfectly symmetrical around its rotational axis.   This odd magnetic field, and the NASA Cassini mission that spent months swooping through it, represent a rare opportunity: to probe the interior of a gas giant, usually so difficult to peer into. Now, a ...

Global Battery Metals Ltd: Global Battery to Commence Ground Gravity and Ground Magnetics Surveys Company" or " GBML") is pleased to announce that it has signed a contract to initiate ground gravity and ground magnetics data collection at its Lithium King Property in Utah. Quantec Geoscience Ltd., a Canadian company based in Toronto, has been engaged to complete the work. Crews are expected in the field this week, with the work expected to take approximately two weeks. Michael Murphy, President...

Trinity College Dublin Researchers at CRANN (The Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices), and the School of Physics at Trinity College Dublin, today announced that a magnetic material developed at the Centre demonstrates the fastest magnetic switching ever recorded. The team used femtosecond laser systems in the Photonics Research Laboratory at CRANN to switch and then re-switch the magnetic orientation of their material in trillionths of a second, six times faster than ...

4 MAY 2021 During a close flyby of the planet Venus in July 2020, NASAs Parker Solar Probe detected something odd. As it dipped just 833 kilometers (517 miles) above the Venusian surface, the probes instruments recorded a low-frequency radio signal - a telltale sign that Parker had skimmed through the ionosphere, a layer of the planets upper atmosphere.   This was the first time an instrument had been able to record direct in situ measurements of Venus upper atmosphere in nearly three decade...

Date Time Forecasting space storms protects satellites and predicts aurora borealis Professor Emilia Kilpua observes plasma clouds ejected by the Sun, whose effects are also seen in the belts of radiation surrounding Earth. What are your research topics? I study enormous clouds of plasma ejected by the Sun. Among other things, I investigate how they are ejected, what they are like and how they travel and change on their journey through interplanetary space. I also study their effec...

Chinese Academy of Sciences Prof. YAN Yihua and his research team from the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC) recently released detailed results of observations by the new generation solar radio telescope-Mingantu Spectral Radio Heliograph (MUSER)-from 2014 to 2019. The study was published in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences on March 29. It may help us better understand the basic nature of solar eruptions. Solar radio bursts are associated wit...
