The early failure of thin-walled cones under compression was thought to arise mainly from the presence of imperfections. A new model suggests otherwise.
The envelopes for this year’s Nobel Prize winners are already sealed, but a survey of physicists offers ideas on future discoveries that are shoo-ins for Nobel recognition.
By using a pair of offset beams, researchers are able to generate femtosecond UV pulses that can be aimed directly into a target as a spectroscopic probe.
Researchers have turned an optical lattice into a ratchet that moves atoms from one site to the next.
